Sennheiser HD438 Closed Circumaural Hi-Fi Headphone with Enhanced Bass Reviews

If I could pick two words to describe these headphones, the words would be Natural & Immersive. I own a couple other Sennheiser products: the EH350 and the HD560. Comparing the three, the HD438 is my favorite. They're easier to drive than the HD560 and they sound better & are more comfortable than the EH350.

I hear all the little nuances in music that other lesser headphones (like the EH350) tend to smooth over. The HD438 has a pretty wide soundstage for a sealed headphone as well. Instruments are well separated as well. They have good bass, better than both the EH350 and HD560. I'd say the bass is...

More to come later - long term observations, measurements and photos. 1) Very light, all plastic construction. The only metal I can see are the screws holding the vertical hinge above the ear cup for slight swivel action 2) The pressure on the ears is just about right to give a good seal to the head, but not to make them uncomfortable over extended periods. The velour pad material though is warm to the feel. Perhaps good in the cool, but in this warm spring it's very noticeable (I believe leather effect replacements are available from Sennheiser). The ear cups fit perfectly around my ears, but with no spare room. It may be that being 'over the ear', not 'on the ear' 'phones, the encapsulation of the ears retains heat (Later, I shall try my Bose QCII headphones with their pad material and compare the feeling) 3) Don't like the "wheel trim" chrome design. Black and plain would be more...

Devoted Sennheiser fan that I am, I looked into it and learned they were HD-448s. Eventually I decided to check out their little brothers, the HD-438s, and I am very happy I did. These are possibly the all-around best headphones for under $100 I've had opportunity to try. I'll start with the sound quality. In short, these are far and away the best closed headphones I've ever heard; they compete ably with my similarly-priced open headphones in clarity. (They don't have super-pumped bass like the box seems to indicate) My Sennheiser HD-555s cost about the same and sound a bit better, but only barely. The 438s are a bit low on the mids compared to the 555s, which also have slightly more defined bass. But these differences are barely noticeable and the 438s have only had about ten hours of burn-in so far, so they'll likely improve... Read more |
