Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a college student who listens to a lot of hip hop and rap music so I'm one who really appreciates a lot of deep, punchy bass. Over the few months I have purchased arguably three of the most "bass heavy" Sennheiser headphones including the HD 288, HD 212, and PX 100.
HD 228:
Unfortunately, the HD 288 did not live up to the "excellent" bass as advertised. The only time that the bass was really prominent was when I pushed both the ear pads and held them against my ears. The headphones also seemed fragile and the ear pads felt like a cheap imitation of the Bose QC3 memory foam.
HD 212:
The HD 212 seemed to produce more bass, only because the ear pads were extremely tight around the ears and could only be worn for a short period of time, until causing pain. Also, the headphone cord was extremely long and bulky which was quite annoying when using with mp3 players.
PX 100:
Instead of buying any of the aforementioned headphones, I would highly recommend buying the similarly priced Sennheiser PX 100 which I believe pack the same amount of punchy bass, but with a lot more clarity in sound. In addition, the PX 100 are very portable and hands-down the most comfortable and stylish headphones. However, there is one caveat- because these headphones are "open headphones" they do leak a good amount of sound. But, the trade off for such sound leakage is the increased clarity in sound which makes all genres of music sound flawless.
Good Luck!
