General Comments

Sennheiser HD 215 - I was reading technical specs - frequency response starts from 12 Hz, in reality there's *less* bass than my old HD 457 with their 25 Hz starting range... I am so disappointed because HD 215 are kind of expensive and they are no way even close with basses as I expected they would be.

I don't even know how they write 12 Hz because all I hear is a bunch of 10 000+ Hz treble and no single bass. I keep using my scotch taped HD 457 right now...

Creative Audigy 2 sound card in my PC and HD 215 sound much quieter than HD 457... I have to max out every channel in Audio Console to get something similar to 457 being on 50%.

I don't know, may be that's because HD 215 are closed and HD 457 are open, so I am not used to them. May be.

I *think* HD 215 need an amplifier to sound properly...

Bottom line: Think 7 times before you buy HD 215. I wouldn't buy them if I knew how they will sound. In the store where I bought them, they had some garbage opera playing in headphones as a demo, so I couldn't test them with opera properly.

I am VERY disappointed right now.
