Sennheiser reviews & products

Product of the Year, Awards 2017. Sennheiser’s Momentum range continues to grow and so does our admiration for it – these are superb in-ears for the money

Well made and nice to use, the Sennheiser HDV 820 is a polished DAC/preamp.

These Sennheisers are high-end headphones, but the sound needs a polish

These in-ears lose the wires but keep the excellent sound quality

No funky stand-out looks here, just a solid Sennheiser sound...

For a real sound upgrade on a tight budget, these Sennheisers could be the ones

Sennheiser strikes a blow with these talented wireless noise-cancellers...

Sennheiser lets its solid reputation do the work with these budget in-ear headphones

Not a perfect pair of headphones, but still an enjoyable and effortless listen...

Audiophile headphones with bass boost? Sennheiser surprises us yet again

If sensational sound quality is your priority, these high-end headphones are worth an audition

We got our hands and ears on some £35,700 headphones. Read our first impressions of the new Sennheiser Orpheus.

Another solid performer from Sennheiser

The latest over-ear headphones from Sennheiser promise 'massive bass and clear treble' – do they deliver?

Style won’t be for everyone, but the sound will

Loud headphones in style and sound, but not exactly all-rounders

They trade aggression for smoothness, but these headphones are a comfortable and pleasant listen

Another excellent set of all-rounders from Sennheiser

Almost a full-house but not quite, the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear headphones are still a good-sounding, stylish pair of portable cans

Best in-ear headphones £300+, Awards 2015. The IE 800s shine a light on Sennheiser’s entire operation. As headphones for your portable device, though, they’re probably overkill

Lively sound, but uncomfortable fit

Best portable on-ears £200-£300, Awards 2013. Great looks, great sound, great headphones

Capable enough but these Sennheisers don't quite justify the price

Neat wireless solution with great sound quality

Best wireless headphones, Awards 2012. A must-audition for owners of aptX-enabled phones and laptops

More affordable, better made and much better sounding than the average gaming headset

A fine successor to the multi-award-winning CX300 series

They're stylish in the extreme, but these open-backed Sennheisers are also refined performers with a smooth presentation

The noise-cancelling Sennheiser PXC 250-II are dainty which makes them great for the commute

Good, but the low frequencies dominate a little too much and treble can get brash

Supremely comfortable, but the sound is just too boring

High-end earbuds let you dial-in bass to taste

Classy in-ears that excel with vocals, but certain rivals are better and cheaper

An enjoyable sound – but we’d like even sweeter treble and a bit more volume, please

Excellent – lavish you with detail, dynamics and neutrality

With a little more sonic oomph, these headphones could have been a five-star product

The Sennheiser CS 280s are replacements for the Award-winning CX300-II

The Sennheiser PXC 360 BT have an SRS surround mode as an added feature

We like Sennheiser's CX880i's a lot, with their great sense of verve and drive, but there's also a thin edge there that some might not like

There's much to recommend these over-ear cans, but at the money we'd want a better tonal balance

These closed-back, fold-away cans from Sennheiser feature an on-ear design that shies away from any kind of sonic attack

These closed-back cans are a great bargain buy

These Sennheiser over-ears will certainly appeal to those who are after plenty of bass with their music

The Sennheiser PX-100-II are an open headphones designed for use when out and about

Best wireless headphones, Awards 2011. Audio is crisp, lively and clean via Bluetooth

Luxuriantly appointed and complete with surround mode and apt-x embellishments, Sennheiser's PX360-BT's aren't cheap, but they're worth it

These comfortable, wireless headphones justify their premium price

Excellent musical delivery with bags of attack, but treble is aggressive

Senneheiser's MM60s are open and controlled headphones, with a balanced sound. Remember they're open-backed though if you commute!

The MM50s offer an excellent performance-per-pound proposition, with deep bass and decent treble

The closed-back headphones boast a terrific performance, especially in bass delivery

For closed-back cans, the Sennheisers are very good – but not the best

Yes, we know the lanyard design is a bit unusual, but get beyond that and what you get is good musicality and detailing from these headphones

These Senneheisers offer much, but are beaten by close rivals in important areas

Enjoyable in all but the most testing circumstances, the CX550s look, feel and sound like value

Best in-ear headphones up to £50, Awards 2010. Sennheiser's CX 300-II's offer a no-brainer upgrade for your portable player at a good price

Not quite the same level of insight as Sennheiser's pricier IE7s or IE8s, but they remain a great purchase

Senneheiser produces in-ear headphones for those who hate in-ears. Just watch out for the bass...

Although the bass lacks true authority, they deliver clear and detailed vocals and decent dynamism

Comfortable, the buds sit snugly in your ear. Sound is weighty and solid with a real sense of spaciousness

If you're a commuter who values their music, you have to give these a try

Extremely impressive for closed-back headphones

These Sennheisers have been around for a while, but they still sound good, even if they're no longer the best

The PXC350s are a cut price version of the PXC450s - the sound drives along nicely and value for money is good, although we prefer the PXC450s for noi

They might be cheap, but these on-ear 'phones aren't cheerful, with a lean performance that quickly wears away at you

Clear, open sound and they serve up a good dose of detail

These former Award winners have now been beaten by the Bose QuietComfort 15s

Excellent, neck-band design, easy-listening headphones

Very good noise cancellation, and a detailed, punchy, entertaining sound
