Review: Versatile headphones for grown-ups - I haven't been this excited about an electronics purchase in a long time. I'm a realistic audiophile, keen to spend just enough on a component to suit the task to a high standard of satisfaction, but no more than that. I've never been a portable music aficionado, but I do enough mobile listening now that I wanted to upgrade the experience. I also wanted to expand my listening opportunities limited by family life at home. Entry level earbuds, among other ergonomic hassles, became fatiguing and shrill even at modest levels, not to mention loud. So I shopped for headphones that sound as good as possible while remaining portable and affordable. The Sennheiser HD 239 fit the bill. Turns out there are scads of headphones available for every performance level and application. I found a credible headphone enthusiast site, innerfidelity.com, that recommended this model among the best-sounding portable headphones, which is also how Sennheiser markets the model within its line. Cnet also recommends the discontinued model that the HD 239 replaces, the HD 238. I was wary of the conspicuous proportion of five-star "desertcart Vine" reviews of the product, but nevertheless found nothing objectionable in the non-"Vine" reviews that were less than glowing but otherwise informed and forthright. That Sennheiser is a venerable manufacturer of a full line of headphones from budget to high end and professional models was also reassuring. The HD 239s are not as portable as earbuds, but the gain in audio experience and comfort is well worth the sacrifice in compactness; and these are by no means full-size headphones. Although full-size headphones would no doubt deliver superior performance, the audio quality of the HD 239 is also suitable for office and home use. Pricier than entry-level models, but substantially better-performing, and nowhere near top end pricing. Not disposable, but not a major liability, either. Headphones for grown-ups, if you will--with comfortable fit, refined finish, and free of gratuitous celebrity branding. Categorically, the "open" rather than "closed" ear cover design employed by the HD 239 affords the best sound and atmospherics, with the trade-offs of not blocking outside noise and leaking sound. I consider the openness a plus for remaining aware of surroundings and maintaining a more favorable soundstage than the cocooning effect of ear-encapsulating cans. I did some testing of audible sound adjacent to the user, and although the sound is indeed audible and even discernible, it's not terribly out of line with the volume the user requires to overcome the ambient noise. That is, playing loud enough to overcome ambient noise does not result in objectionable contribution to that noise heard by others. So, I don't anticipate being "that guy" with the blaring headphones, but rather contributing modestly to the ambient noise of the train or plane, which are noisy places to begin with. Even with the open design, the headphones overcome external noise at reasonable volume levels. The HD 239 has transformed my listening. In addition to a MOG streaming service of 320 kbps music, I have a collection of 256 kbps and 320 kbps bit rate songs (mostly classic and indie rock) that I play at my desk, on portables, and stream to a decent home theater system (powered by a Denon AVR-1712) with AirPlay. I have to admit that it's a rare occasion that I bust out a CD for serious listening, and I can't be bothered to rip and store them in lossless format, but I'm conscious of what I'm missing. The headphones get the most out of portable players, without performance overkill or looking conspicuous on the commute, and they do justice to the living room rig playing high-quality sources as well. I do notice better performance from the HD 239 with the AVR than with computers and portables, so a portable or desktop amp and/or DAC would likely augment performance from computers and portables discernibly, but I personally wouldn't spend much budget there before stepping up to full-sized headphones. On the other end of the spectrum, I suppose it goes without saying that these also do wonders for voice calling, even without a microphone. I also bought the Maxell HP-20 headphone cord and adapters for home listening. I used a tailor's measuring tape to determine the length of the cord path between my receiver and listening position, which is 13 feet (corresponding to a common 10-foot TV viewing distance). The Maxell cord is coiled, and stretches to 20 feet under tension, plus the headphone cord is four feet long. The combo works, but it will slide down the side of my ottoman under its own weight and put tension on the headphones, so I run it along the floor instead. During long listening sessions, the headphones inevitably cause some discomfort, but it doesn't accumulate much faster than the appetite for listening wanes. That is, by the time the headphones start to induce sore ears, it's usually time for a listening break by then anyway. The headphones are light, airy, well-cushioned, and about as comfortable as they can be. The HD 239 has reinvigorated my audio enthusiasm, which had become a bit depressed by convenience-driven lossy files, afterthought DACs, poor headphones, and scarce personal listening time. Well-suited to a range of listening, the HD 239 is neither overkill for portable devices and formats nor outclassed by high-quality sources (discs) on a decent home audio system. Practical, versatile, and reasonably priced, the HD 239 is a great investment.
Review: Comparing the HD 239 with PX100-II - Purchased these headphones after the wire on my PX100-IIs got damaged. I wanted something light and portable but with better sound so I decided to give these a try. I prefer an open design to maintain awareness of my surroundings, especially in the office environment. Both are feathery light yet have a well made feel. The PX100s fold on themselves creating a small footprint but with a roundish shape. They will easily fit in a purse or large pocket however I found they got crushed at times when packed with books, laptops and other flat objects typically found in a briefcase. The HDs on the other hand have a larger footprint but lay flat making them easier to store in my case. In terms of comfort, both products are quite light and nicely padded so you hardly know they are there. Both sit on the ear allowing air to flow through keeping your ears from getting overheated. For listening times under an hour, both wear well and you even forget they are there. The big difference is for longer sessions. I found the HDs have a tighter fit and stronger, less yielding headband making it necessary to take breaks from them. The PXs are lighter fitting making long term listening a breeze however they will definitely slip off your ears every time you bend over limiting their usefulness at the gym. If great sound is what matters most then you will hear a huge difference between these headphones. While the PXs put out impressive sound given their compact size (and way better than any ear buds I've tested), the HDs are a huge step up. Both have the characteristic warm and mellow Sennheiser sound but the HDs are fuller with real bass and more natural tendencies. Both need listening time to open up as they can be a bit dull at first. Advantage: the HDs are a clear winner and probably sound better than phones costing twice as much. I just wish I could wear them for longer sessions as the sound is terrific. Overall I am super happy with the HDs despite their shortcomings because I love music and can't believe the quality sound that comes out of these babies. Maybe the headband spring tension will loosen over time allowing longer listening sessions. Also, I wish Sennheiser would jump on the replaceable wire bandwagon as the wires on both of these products are really fragile and prone to damage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grado SR-60i VS. Sennheiser HD-239
*by C***D on January 16, 2014*

Well, as the title suggests, this is a comparison between the Grado SR-60i and these Sennheiser HD 239 headphones. FIRST THE AREAS THE TWO HAVE IN COMMON. 1. Both the Grado SR-60i and the Sennheiser HD 239 are featured on the Innerfidelity wall of fame, which can be accessed by typing the URL, [...] then clicking the "Wall of Fame" link at the top of the page, then clicking the "Ear-Pad Open" link. Tyll Hertsens wrote the article which includes brief reviews of headphones that range from 29.99 to 5,250.00 USD. 2. Both feature "Open Acoustics" which mean that sound can escape as well as enter the headphones. This creates a wider sound stage which in turn creates a much more dynamic audio quality than is created otherwise by closed headphones. 3. Both cost under 150 dollars. The Grado SR-60i's MSRP is 79.99, while the Sennheiser HD 239's MSRP is 119.99. 4. Both are designed by a well respected company. The SR-60i is made by Grado Labs, and the HD239 is made by Sennheiser USA. 5. Both are of the "on-ear" sort of design which provides a lightweight portable convenience. 6. Both swivel flat for easy portability. 7. Both have tremendous audio quality. NOW FOR THE AREAS THE GRADO SR-60I ARE SUPERIOR: 1. Midrange: The midrange of the Grado SR-60i is superior to the Senn HD239. 2. MSRP: The SR-60i cost 79.99 MSRP, Senn HD239 cost 119.99 MSRP. 3. Durability: The Grado SR-60i have a much more rugged plastic construction, including the thick cord, which could be called a "cable" based on its size alone. The senn HD 239 have a very lightweight construction and a very thin cord which could be called a "wire" based on it's size alone. The jack on the HD239 is lacking in durability as well. 4. Sound Stage: The SR-60i from Grado produces a much wider sound stage. 5. Comfort: The SR-60i from Grado has a much larger earpad and is much more breathable. 6. Packaging: Very humble doughnut box of a package it provides. It opens like a pastry box, it looks like a pastry box, perhaps it is a pastry box, but it is VERY easy to open. NOW FOR THE AREAS THE SENN HD 239 IS SUPERIOR: 1. Bass: The Sennheiser HD 239 produce a much deeper bass than the SR 60i. 2. Ascetics: The Sennheiser features a "look" similar to that of the Bose OE2. Whereas, the SR-60i features a retro 1930's Air Force control tower look and feel. FINAL THOUGHT: The sennheiser HD 239 provides amazing bass but lacks slightly in the mids and highs. The Grado SR60i Has amazing mids but lacks slightly in the bass. So but them together and you have flawless headphones. Personally, I enjoy the clear dynamic mids of the sr60i as well as the wider sound stage. But the bass of the Senn HD 239 is something thaty is admirable. You decide.
