Summary: Disappointing and Very Unbalanced.
Review: I was expecting much more from these headphones. They lack any coloration, warmth, and they give a hollow, distant sound. In Sennheiser's defense, they are made for studio use. They reproduce EXACTLY what is coming in to them, but they don't balance it or color it at all. In turn, this makes the trebles sharp and the bass lacking any depth. If you're working in a studio and need to hear exactly what's coming through, get them. If you're using them for home use, avoid them and go with Senn 497's (Cheaper and sound a lot better).

Summary: sounds delicious
Review: I've had these headphones for about six months now, and although I don't have much to compare them too, I love them to death. They feel a little bit fragile just because they're plastic and they're INCREDIBLY light weight.

The sound is really awesome. Listening to music through headphones is really the way to go, because the stereo effects that are incorporated into your music really shine through. I have no complaints about the sound, the highs are high, and the lows are low.

I love how there's only one cord that comes out of the headphones, and I love even more how that cord can be unplugged from the headphones.

No complaints, but again, I don't have anything to compare it to (unless you count my 7 dollar pair of headphones I bought from Sears in the 80's.)

Summary: A Good Value
Review: I've had these phones for about 2 weeks now and I find them comfortable, quiet (blocking external noise), and good sounding. The sound seems to me to be quite neutral from low to high and their efficiency is pretty good so my computer sound card drives them easily to good volumes. I was concerned about this because of the 64ohm load they present but they are better than my old Sennheiser 580s (32ohm but lower sensitivity) in this regard.

I was also concerned about their fit since I had read many people found the hd280s to be too tight. However, they fit me well and I wear them for hours at a time while working on my computer. For me, they are a good compromise of performance, comfort, and price. I rate them highly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Sound & Value
Review: I've owned the EH-2270's for several months. Like other reviewers, I've found these headphone to be lightweight and very comfortable.

I'm not an audio expert, but the EH-2270 sound natural - solid bass, excellent mids and bright highs.

I'd give these headphone 4.5 stars.

Summary: Delivers excellent sound without outside interference
Review: One of the greatest features of these headphones is the way they seal your ears from the endless droll of computer fans, noisy children, and occasionally dear mother.
The sound is clear, and true to form -- just as it was intended to be heard. Other headphones of inferior quality might be capable of "more bass," but the EH2270's bass is punchy and far from muddled. A great asset for the all-around music listener.
The $200 price tag seems a bit high, since I paid around $70. If you can find them for under $100, then consider it a great value because few headphones sport the same quality to price ratio.
Perfect headphones if the price is right and you appreciate neutrality in your music.

Summary: Good buy
Review: These are a better deal than the hd2200 .... You get a better closed shell (they cut down external noise very well) and decent sound for sennheiser standards (my hd560 were better, but an open design, not as nice to use @ work in the plane etc...). The sound is plain and not too colorful but solid and overall they are very comfortable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Headphones, but lack value
Review: These headphones are wonderful. They have excellent sound quality and clarity. However, the EH2200 series headphone is cheaper, and a far better value since the two are so very similar. If you are looking for a truely awesome set of headphones get the HD600 Model from Sennheiser.
