Another Sennheiser hit.

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016

I have always felt that Sennheiser makes the best headphones for the money, and this pair has continued to justify that opinion. The sound on these is great, they actually rival my much larger (and more expensive) HD-280sSennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphones.

While the HD2.30i is an "on ear" headphone (as opposed to the over ear closed headphones like the HD-280s) they still offer quite a bit of sound isolation. They fit tight against the ear with think foam padding. As someone who isn't a fan of full on noise cancelling headphones this is the kind of sound blocking I prefer, but it will reduce your ability to hear the outside world so it might not be the best choice for someone jogging/biking.

These headphones have a single detachable cord that plugs into the right ear piece, with a 3 button inline remote. Two of the buttons control volume, and the third (middle) button acts as a smart button. One press will pause the music, two will skip songs, and holding it down will activate Siri. This is also where the mic is located, and it seemed to have no trouble hearing me.

I got these as an upgrade to the PX-100Sennheiser PX 100 Lightweight Collapsible Headphones (Discontinued by
Manufacturer)that I purchased in 2009, still going strong. The HD2.30i are a clear upgrade in sound quality and do a much better job with isolation.

These headphones do fold up and come with a cloth pouch, but they do take up more room than the smaller and thinner PX-100 headphones for those that really want something that folds up as small as possible.

I can't speak for longevity on these, because I just got them. But given the exceptional track record Sennheiser has had for me I am hoping these will last for years. If they don't and break too quickly, I will update the review to reflect that.

I payed 30$ for these in '21 and they lasted as much as 30$ worth before the earmufs fell out. I do like them, great for travel comfy and sleek but not worth 80$ jeez.

Worth it

I have never purchased a bad Sennheiser product, and this is no exception. I am really in love with these headphones. They are a replacement for my Sennheiser PX-200 ii headphones which I have had for over 3 years now. These HD2.30G headphones are SUBSTANTIALLY more comfortable to wear, and the sound quality is equal if not better than the PX-200's.

The thing that always annoyed me with the PX-200 was the volume control because it was always resting right where I always wanted to rest my left hand on my desk. I do not have that same problem with these HD2.30G headphones because the volume control is right up near my head and the headphones, and combined with the longer cord these HD2.30G headphones provide, it is a much more pleasurable experience chilling out listening to music with these headphones than it was with the PX-200; and with literally all the other headphones I have experience with.

Update (purchased August 2017, update September 2018): they still are rocking and are still very comforitable after over a year later, which is amazing. Usually the foam will start to deteriorate by now but it's still like new for me except for some discoloration from skin oils. The only issue I had was the cord started to start to pull out of where it connects to the headphones because I regularly drop the headphones and accidently yank on the cord, but I got some gorilla hotglue sticks and a hotglue gun to reinforce the connection of the cord up into the headphone and that has held super solid for a long time now. The sound quality didn't even degrade while the cord was pulled out a bit.

Nice ear phones, some caveats

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017

Color: WhiteStyle: iOS VersionVerified Purchase

I use these phones with my iPad Air, my iPhone 6+, and my iPod. I like the on/off/mute functions on the cord. They are somewhat sound deadening, so good on planes, when vacuuming, when exercising at the gym.
Pros: Great sound for audio books. Excellent for listening to music. Cons: Cord is too long for me at 5'1", the phones are heavy and tight.
My hope: That they last longer than my earlier Sennheiser phones that no longer connected to my devices after 2 years of use.

Pleasantly surprised!

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021

Color: WhiteStyle: iOS VersionVerified Purchase

I was very hesitant about purchasing this product, given the negative reviews posted here. Out of the box I discovered the headband was not adjustable and the headphones were tight on my head. But, when I realized that the headphones are adjusted to your head with the earcups, I found a very comfortable fit. The fit is snug and the sound isolation is good but you can still hear sounds in the room.
After listening to various music, I found the sound spectrum balanced with a punchy but not overpowering base. The headphones reproduce the recorded sound very good, if the recording was muddy I heard muddy music. If the recording was crisp and clear, that’s what I heard. I listened to music from both Apple and amazon music services. I have owned other Sennheiser products, including px100’s. This product is a winner for me and continues the fine tradition of sennheiser headphones.
The only negative for me is that the volume control is right next to the earcup.

No Bass.

Color: WhiteStyle: Android VersionVerified Purchase

Good fit, good construction, and a white option. Everything seem good, but the sound is all midrange. I can boost the bass with my audio app, but it actually make my LG V20 clip. These drivers are very inefficient with terrible frequency response. It love my Sennheiser MM60, great sound and perfect for travel, but the wiring finally broke. Sennheiser has no similar replace item and they will not repair my MM60. Too bad, they use to be a great company.

Great product - quality for the money!

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2017

Color: WhiteStyle: iOS VersionVerified Purchase

I was impressed by the quality of sound in these headphones as well as the noise reduction. Once I had them on, I couldn't hear anything else and others couldn't hear what I was listening. I tried them on an iPhone 7 Pus (with Apple's adapter) listening to music on Spotify having its equalizer on, and extreme quality of sound selected.

Pros - plenty of volume (enough for my taste) and fine sound as you would expect from an mid-range headset. Easy to use with an iPhone - the remote worked as expected with same commands as from an Apple headphones remote. I tried it with an Asus laptop too (Audio technology by Bang & Olufsen) and sound was even louder than on the iPhone. Design is slick and nice finish, would say that despite plastic being used they still look very good. Not sure about endurance in time since I only got them.

Cons - The box was very difficult to open, so I literally had to rip it to get to the headphones, which is nasty if you ever think of reselling and keeping the original box.

Purchased for virtual school work for my teenagetd, Unfortunately they are extremely uncomfortable. Bit kids and myself hated the fit. Lots of pressure on your ears. The sound is poor quality and sounds tinny. Not what I expected from a good name brand.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I'm a gamer but I hate big, heavy, bulky headsets and I have a stand mic so I was simply looking for lightweight, high quality audio and preferably a cute design. These are very good quality for the price. I can hear all the noises, including bass, clearer than I could with my actual gaming headset. They're so light on my head and because they're on-ear instead of over the ears, my glasses don't get crushed into the side of my head which gets very uncomfortable. Bonus is they're foldable. I use them for PC gaming but can just as easily take them on a trip. Can't imagine why these were discontinued!

I’ve purchased 3 pairs of these for my wife. She uses them for watching movies on her iPad. So far, 2 pair have had the cables fall apart at the headphone jack.
It would’ve been nice to have a detachable cable but I knew they didn’t when purchasing them. I did not, however, expect such cheap cables from Sennheiser. My Momentums are amazing. I guess there’s a reason these were recently discontinued.
