sony_man Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 wow..... this place seems empty since the last time i posted.Anywho, got a piar of HD212 pros, they are the most bassiest headphones possible. they lift off your head and vibrate with such boomy force that only bass heads can love its bloatiness. probly clearing it up with an amp would do it. these dont too bad either. cool black laquer kind of look on the side. very soft pleather. simple yet sturdy build. highs seem clear enough when there arent bass lines to overcome your ears .

sony_man Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 well, i dont have pictures to supply, but these are probably only suited for entry bass heads. next steup is either the AKG-K240S or the Beyerdynamic DT770, both with a PA2 amp sound good (what ive heard). now, the only thing is, the bass tends to be a bit messy, and even though i am a bass head, its kind of annoying. thats why, after i get a cheap 600D hi-md, or fix my ipod myself, im saving straight up to Beyers fro bass heaven. these babies are more than 250 dollars and i have heard that they pack the punch for me! but enough about my life plans, the basic thing is that the 212 may be headphones with more bass than yur used to. the eggos for example are ok, VERY flat sound(neutral), but good balance. pretty good soundstage for small cups. the 212 pros have small sound stage since it is circum aural. but that doesnt mean all circum aural headphones have small sound stage, the AKG;s mentioned, for example, are open types so they have an advantage over that to produce airy but solid bassy sound. the pads are comfy, VERY comfy, but when you are used to eggos being around your ear, the 212 can get uncomfortable after a couple hours of use. compared to the EX51's, the sound is obviously more audience kind of sound, instead of cramped into your ear canal. although EX51's produce more bass that way, it is also unhealthy . the cord is very long. i never took the twist tie off of it. the cords can disconnect from the cups by hand. i guess this is for portable purposes or for cable upgrades. they are also very thin and flimsy looking. might not wanna tug too hard.

WaywardTraveller Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I finally went mental after my 3rd/4th pair of Sony earbuds kakked on me....so I went down to Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto and bought a pair of the HD212s.I normally don't wear anything but earbuds (since I travel, and cans are hardly as portable), but I've found these to be a great alternative to my old EX70s that just died, and it was in part a protest purchase against what I can only see as the utterly shit build quality of Sony earbuds. ALl the pairs that have kakked have done so in exactly the same way: the left channel with get quieter/lose some definition/utterly die on me without any prior warning.Anyhow...the HD212s, I find, fit quite comfortably around my ears, and they end up doing more to block out external noise than I had anticipated....plus, in this chilly Toronto weather they keep my ears warm . After fiddling with my NH900's Custom EQ setting I finally found an ok setting, but does anyone else who owns a pair find the high treble end to sound, I dunno, artificial? To me, sometimes the cymbals and hard SSS sounds in lyrics come across a bit harsh (but I guess more EQ fiddling could fix this?)...but I suppose it could also be a can thing - never owned a pair before aside from a now-defunct pair of Sony CD550s for my computer. I miss my earbuds, but the sound on these, although quite different, isn't bad at all. It's about the best bass-heavy set of 'phones you can get in this price range (roughly $80CAD). If I have the time, and if anyone's interested, maybe I could post some pics - they're nice and simple, lightweight, and don't interfere with your boppin' around town with tunes peaceWaywardTraveller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaywardTraveller Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) pictorial please Oops...sorry for the delay, but here are some pics of the HD212pro 'phones (click for full-size):This is a shot (somewhat out-of-focus..sorry) of the HD212 can area. At first I thought they'd be a bit small for the ears, but when you put them on they're quite comfy:[attachmentid=1297]A basic shot of the HD212s, with my hand to show scale. They're quite lightweight![attachmentid=1296]The HD212s also have a pretty long cord, but with a twist tie or something you can bundle up the excess and carry it in your pocket. As you might be able to see from this pic, the connector is silver, not gold (for those of you who care):[attachmentid=1298]peaceWaywardTraveller Edited January 11, 2006 by WaywardTraveller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
