  • Positivebester Klang in dieser Preisklasse
  • Negativenur bedingt für unterwegs geeignet

Der große Sennheister landete im Hörtest auf dem ersten Platz: Kein anderer Kopfhörer im Test klang so ausgewogen und natürlich. Er patzte weder bei Basseinsätzen noch bei hohen Triangeltönen. Für den mobilen Einsatz eignet er sich allerdings nicht: Das Kabel ist ewig lang, und durchschnittliche Player sind an ihm zu leise.

  • Positivepraktische Bajonettkupplung
  • Positivefülliger Bass
  • Negativedünne Höhen

„Dieser Sennheiser spielt auch an Camcordern laut genug. Den Bass trägt er etwas dick, aber noch akzeptabel auf, die Höhen sind ein wenig unterbelichtet.
