So, the Sennheiser headphone finally arrived. I am a bit late opening up the package and reviewing it because I just finished one of those 30-hour hospital shifts.
The packaging is decent. Not overly impressive, but sufficient. The headphone also comes with a gold-plated 1/4" adapter, which is nice, except that I don't have any use for it.
The ear cups fit over my ears very comfortably. I wore it for about an hour, and I wasn't bothered by it at all. This is in contrast to the old wireless Sennshiser headphone that I own.
The cord is extremely long. I think it's more than three meters. I guess the manufacturer doesn't want anyone to complain that the cord is too short. Storing such a long cord can be annoying sometimes.
Finally, when I tested the sound, I have to say that I am somewhat disappointed. The bass isn't necessarily loud, but it doesn't go as low as I would like. Compared to my $25 speakers with subwoofer, the low-frequency sounds don't come out as low in the headphone.
Otherwise, the sound is clear and crisp. Maybe I haven't broken in the headphone yet. This is only after a few hours of listening.
I guess for $20, I can't really complain much about the sound quality.
Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. It's impossible to beat the price of this headphone. Any other headphone around $20 sound like a group of rabid squirrels being overrun by feral cats.

Oh and another thing, my headphones are lacking in the bass department, but I use soundmax digital sound or something like that, it has a bass boost feature, which works very nicely.
what a dumb thing to say :/
Glad yours work well.
I am buying another pair for my dad.
And good audio hardware is very important for gaming.
