The tale of the tape with the Sennheiser headset is that it's designed to be an over-ear and open-back set of headphones that's compatible with anything that accepts a 3.5mm jack input, which is almost everything. It also comes with a 6.3mm jack input cable, and it uses aluminium coils to produce high efficiency, excellent dynamics, and extremely low-distortion audio.

Its real claim to fame is that it's made to be as comfortable as possible for listening experiences, and with a lightweight design that combines luxurious velour-covered ear cushions with a padded headband, it'll feel like a plush piece of audio kit. Overall, if you're looking for a comfy home headset to place around your noggin and you prefer your audio to have a warm and well-balanced soundscape, this is more than up to the task. Plus, it looks rather stylish with its black finish and metallic accents.
