amazon Sennheiser HD4.20S reviews
Design
This is an On-Ear headphone but has a cups made like a Fullsize headset. This part will hold the entire ear, with the large ear cushion will touch a little. The cups have a small swivel section, swiveling from front to back so users can customize their ears to fit.
Headphones are made of plastic so of course they can not be as certain as metal earbuds, but so the headphones are quite light, giving a light feel.
The buffer is made very thick, even thicker than many traditional HD headphones. The ear cushion is slightly flattened to avoid tangling in the pair.
On the cord there is a small microphone for handsfree talking, along with a mid button to next track on the music.
The jack is L-shaped, quite thin to fit in neat pockets with mobile devices.

Sound
The Senheiser HD 4.20s can not be as heavy bass as Sony’s extra bass headphones, but the sound quality of the ear is much better. In general, the headphones are lightly pressed on the bass but the mid and treble are not pushed too deep. The sound quality of HD 4.20s is more complete, much more plentiful than the HD 2.10.
That said, the bass is still part of Sennheiser’s slightly better than the other parts. The bass volume is moderate to high. Trying with Specter from Alan Walker, the bass does not hit the head like a XB550AP from Sony, but it’s still high in volume. The sub bass is made not to the last note, but the volume as well as the orchestra to the ears so it still feels very healthy. Trying with Specter, the sub bass does not turn off fast but the tail is quite long, bleed phenomenon on the background so the background sound a bit dark. The mid bass is a little bit better than the average, but not too much, with moderate speed, so it’s still punchy. Perhaps Sennheiser’s “Dance Music” concept does not push the bass up as much as possible, only to make it a little more prominent, in conjunction with other parts of the sound that creates the sound modern.
Compared to the mid-range sweetness of the HD599 or even the high-end HD650, this part of HD 4.20s does not have many highlights. As the mid section of the Sennheiser, this part of the headset is still not as sharp and completely as the headphones of other companies that have a slight backward. The mid section is slightly thinner than the standard Sennheiser, losing a little warmth. This type of midrange has been used by Sennheiser on a number of new models including the PXC550 and it seems that young people like this type of sound is a kind of tonic. One advantage of this mid-range is that in pop songs, the singer’s voice is quicker than the slow, lyrical style of traditional earphones. The mid section is also slightly affected by the source. With even bright lights such as DAC1, this section appears sibalance and slightly difficult to hear, but for most phones have a dark or neutral sound is not a problem. The midpoint of this is in line with Pop, where the singer needs a more modern, slower, more natural voice.
The treble of HD 4.20s is identical to the treble of recently released headsets to the modern Sennheiser PXC550 or Sennheiser HD 2.10, which is quite a lot volume, not sink and less like the low and middle stream previous level of Sennheiser. Treble up high enough not to be sibalance, but sharp and bright. Treble is different from the treble of the traditional HD5xx or HD6xx headset that is more metallic, more modern.
