Precise audio reproduction, lightweight and comfortable design, carry pouch provided
Vibration in headphones at high volume, no 6.3mm adaptor provided, bit expensive
From Sennheisers Precision range of headphones, we have for you today the HD 238 Precision. These are over the head supra aural headphones meant to deliver life-like stereo sound and designed to work with a wide range of devices including portable pla...
Comfortable to wear, even after several hours, Light but wellmade design, Good coverage of frequencies accross the spectrum
Terrible cable and connector, Can't be fully folded, Not very well insulated for use out and about
The HD 238 couldn't be more different to the disastrous HD 228. Although still not perfect, they'll make a good alternative to PX-series headphones....

Rich, full, detailed sound reproduction; wide stereo stage; lightweight and portable; comfortable fit; ideal for home listening especially when alone; Sennheiser quality.

The Sennheiser HD 238 on-ear headphones are comfortable and affordable, and sound good for the money
The headphones fold flat but lack a compact design like the Bose OE2 headphones, there's no integrated microphone for cell phones (like the step-up 238i), this is a discontinued model that will disappear from stores quickly
Priced less than the Bose OE2s, the comparable Sennheiser 238 headphones deliver good bang for your buck.
The Sennheiser HD 238 provides users with that which no other headphone has provided so well: great sound quality, all across the board. All the ranges are perfectly balanced and clearly delivered to your ears for a truly amazing listening experience. ...
Plenty of punchy bass; good amount of detail; extremely comfortable; lightweight.
Very little isolation; uninspired high frequencies; not the most travel-friendly.
Sennheiser is a brand name that needs no introduction to audiophiles and mass-market audio consumers alike – their high-end products are well regarded by audiophiles and their low-end products are generally well received by everyday consumers. Their he...
Abstract: For my second headphone review, I checked out the US$99.00 Sennheiser HD238 headphones. These ’supra-aural’ headphones are very comfortable and will fill the gap nicely if you are fed up (like me) with buds, pods and ear canal diggers and you don’t wan...
Abstract: Listening habits have changed over the last few years and innovative companies change right along with the times. Take Sennheisers HD 2xx series of headphones, said to be optimized for iPod, iPhone, MP3 and CD players. They are "on the go" phones wit...
Abstract: Let me start this review by getting a few things clear: I am not, or was not anyway, what I would consider a true audiophile. I also am not (or was not) much of a headphone user. All this changed when I got the chance to spend a couple months with the...
