Sennheiser HDR 170 - Pros & Cons

spacious ear cups that are decently well padded
excellent bass and the surround sound technique produces great and pleasant sound
comfortable and easy-to-use
The buttons are responsive and provide basic functionality
The response is relatively even and consistent
sound quality is still very clear and easy to aurally
Music sounds rich and clear
television and movies sound
excellent customer value and quality products
a delicate and efficient balance of both comfort and fit
richer sound balance and makes deeper and better-defined bass

the button placement leaves a little to be desired
The buttons are broken out into two groups
noticable interference or loss of audio quality
headband will never sit softly on your head and it will cause headaches
definitely not high quality
constant mosquito buzzing in my ear
The signal is not compressed and you will experience virtually zero interference
it does not work at all with this type of plastic
sound is a little top-heavy
be good headphones for sports or working out
The plastic used feels low grade and a bit cheap
Poor isolation and high leakage
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
block noise and leak quite a bit
its sound will only be heard by the person wearing the headphones
Connectivity is limited to just one analog input
