Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser HD 457 Traditional Open Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones (Silver)
Digital camera Review: All bass all the time...
Summary: 2 Stars
Pro: I really prefer the fabric covered ear pads. Very comfortable.
Con: The sound of these headphones is very disappointing.
The package says "Enhanced Bass" and the bass is definitely enhanced; to the point of being ridiculous. These provide indistinct, throbbing, muddy bass that makes you ears hurt after a short time. You can correct some of this with drastic EQ settings by why should you have to do that?
Other users say that a 12+ hour break-in period helps, but if anything, that made things worse.
I think this is an attempt by Sennheiser to satisfy the same people who think good sound means rattling windows....quantity instead of quality.
If you think over-driven car stereos that make the ground vibrate are cool, these are for you. But if you prefer balanced sound with rich bass, look elsewhere.
