hey I'm David Connolly executive editor for cnet.com and I'm going to give you a quick tour of the Sennheiser 238 I headphones that several of us here at scenic consider one of the better values in the headphones market these are on ear headphones in the eye on their name refers to smartphone friendly features like a microphone and an inline remote that's designed to work with Apple's iOS devices but isn't fully functional with many Android smartphones or tablets in a lot of cases on your headphones would sit flush against your ears aren't all that comfortable however these Sennheiser's are quite comfortable with nicely padded ear cups and in a lightweight design of all they seem well built and fold flat for storage and come with a very basic canvas traveling case if you're looking for downsides some people may find the court a little thin and it doesn't detach from the ear cup like the court on bose is more expensive OE two headphones it's also worth mentioning that court terminates in a vertical plug rather than an l-shaped plug which tends to be a little bit more durable in reviewing bose is similarly styled OE to I headphones I noted that they sound more natural and don't suffer from Bose bloat a term coined for its obtrusive bass boost the sennheisers exhibit similarly detailed sound an ample but not bloated base their touch on the warm side and will appeal to listeners perform more laid-back less aggressive headphones with edgier trouble keep in mind that you shouldn't expect quite the same sound from these San hydras as you would higher-end models with retail prices of around two hundred dollars the point here is that while the 238 eyes don't offer great sound they do deliver very solid performance for their price no they aren't quite as compact as the Bose OE tues and they don't still way into a small carrying case but they do cost a hundred dollars less and offer comparable sound quality in my book that makes the Sennheiser HD I 238 eyes one of the better bargains in this class of headphones i'm david carr noi thanks for watching hmm
