Sennheiser MX 365

The German brand Sennheiser is famous for their headphones, so no matter what price point they are in, these are definitely quality pieces. The MX 365 is a wired model with signature Sinnheiser sound, priced at just $20.

For any colour

Headphones are made of inexpensive plastic and are offered in 6 colours to choose from: dark grey, orange, red, white, blue and gold. The form factor is close to the sporty one: corrugated wavy shape of the legs, silver insert in the spirit of "hi-tech". It looks nice, feels cheap, feels comfortable in the ear. Includes ear pads for a snug fit. The standard length cable is 1.2 m — rubberized, but rather rigid, which suggests that it will tan in the cold. I didn’t like the lack of rubber casings at the junction of the earpiece with the cable, which protect the latter from breaking. But the pill was sweetened by an L-shaped plug with a gold-plated connector.

signature sound

In general, I liked the sound throughout the frequency response, given the quite predictable dip in the lower range. The bass in the mix sounds weak and inexpressive, without dynamics and power. In addition, at high volume, and its reserve is more than enough (110 dB), they begin to wheeze. There are not the slightest complaints about the middle, everything is legible and clean here, as well as on the upper ones. HF cut through the mix quite clearly, but do not cut the ear. Ideally, the MX 365 is best listened to at a volume of 60 – 80%, so that the scene is as transparent and realistic as possible.

Of course, it would not be superfluous to use headphones as a headset, but the manufacturer did not provide such an opportunity in this model.

If we cross out this drawback, we can safely recommend the Sennheiser MX 365 to those who want to have high-quality headphones for a smartphone or player, but are not ready to pay a lot of money for them.
