Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these headphones after returning the Bose Triports Bose® around-ear headphones, for personal and portable listening, which have good sound but are flimsy.Even out of the box, without time for break-in, they are stunning.The sound is precise, clear, and natural.Listening to Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, I hear each instrument beautifully and in surprising detail.
You can buy these with great confidence.An audiophile vendor not associated with Amazon gives these headphones 5/5, and that company has ears trained on equipment costing thousands of dollars.Of course, if you are prepared to buy Sennheiser HD 600Sennheiser HD600 Over-Ear Open Dynamic Hi-Fi Professional Stereo Headphones (Black) or HD 650 Sennheiser HD650 Audiophile Open Dynamic Stereo Headphone, you will hear something else again, a magical liquidity - but only if you couple them with a dedicated headphone amplifier.If you use headphones to listen to music, rather than music to listen to headphones, you will be very happy with the 448 for portables and home listening.
PS: It's a year since I posted this review, and I have just made a surprising discovery (surprising to me, at any rate).I knew these were good headphones without an amplifier.What I did not realize is that with a headphone amplifier, they are in another league.I have a small headphone amplifier, and I was getting only fair results with my high impedance headphones (which are outstanding on my other, larger amplifier).So just as an experiment, when frankly I was ready to buy a better amplifier, I asked myself what would happen if I took out the Sennheiser HD 530 (300 ohm impedance) and tried the HD 448.They're stunning.I thought it wouldn't be necessary, because the HD 448 has just a 32 ohm impedance.And it isn't necessary, but it certainly makes a huge difference.Put the HD 448 together with -- say -- a Headroom Airhead or Bithead and you have an excellent little rig.
