Product Description

Product Description

Take the famed Onkyo sound on the road with our ES HF300 On Ear Headphones. Passion for music is reflected in the aluminum driver housing, its shape referencing the volume control on our iconic audio components. The single arm design creates a clean, elegant profile accentuated with brushed and burnished aluminum. Soft leatherette ear pads and headband make for comfortable listening, but that's just the beginning: two 40 mm (19/16) titanium drivers, dual chambers for optimized bass, and rigid construction combine to present a wonderfully clear stereo image. These headphones handle everything from Mendelssohn to metal, with deep reaching bass and a detailed mid range testament to the long hours spent tuning the drivers to perfection. Adding further value is the audiophile grade copper cable, which provides almost perfect conductivity for superior sound quality. Protected by transparent elastomeric to insulate against touch noise, the one piece cable has gold plated connections and is the perfect length for travel. Details such as the flat folding design and detachable cable make it easier to enjoy component quality audio everywhere you go.

From the Manufacturer

ES-HF300 On-Ear Headhones

Sleek Style & Stellar Audio
Everywhere You Go

Take Onkyo's high quality audio everywhere you go with a pair of ES-HF300 On-Ear Headphones. Built to deliver maximum fidelity at a realistic price, these stylish aluminum-encased headphones have a lot to offer anyone who loves music.

High Purity Copper-Core Cable for Pure Sound

6N Oxygen-Free Copper Cable

The headphone's cable is of critical importance to its sound quality. The ES-HF300 comes with a 6N oxygen-free copper cable, which delivers almost zero resistance for superior sound.

Insulating the core is a tough and flexible elastomer sheath that minimizes touch noise and ensures the best possible conductivity. It also resists tangling. As with all Onkyo headphones, it's also detachable for easy replacement.

Well-Defined, Clear Sound

Wide-Range Titanium Drivers

Onkyo on-ear headphones feature 40 mm (1 9/16") full-range titanium drivers encased in aluminum. Designed to reproduce a wide frequency spectrum, they are noted for crisp and detailed performance in the mid to high ranges.

Tuned to give full voice to all types of music, the drivers faithfully recreate compressed audio formats and are robustly sensitive to lossless and 192/24 playback.

Deep, Powerful Bass

Dual Chamber Construction

Bass response isn't a matter of quantity, but quality. You don't want "boomy" bass, which blurs the audio image. You DO want headphones that fully control low frequencies and add weight and dynamism to all types of music.

Onkyo's on-ear headphones do that, and they have perfect dynamic balance, with dual chambers behind the driver to optimize bass response. Careful tuning and rigid construction tame resonance and ensures a solid foundation of well-muscled bass at all volume levels.

Built for Portability

Solid Construction

Folding earcups, detachable connectors, and exceptionally tough construction make the ES-HF300s ideal for the daily commute.

Gold-plated connectors preserve signal integrity and resist the effects of corrosion.

Carrying case included.



Comfortable for Long Listening Sessions

Padded, Adjustable Headband & Leatherette Earpads

Soft leatherette earpads seal against ambient noise and minimize sound leakage.

Combined with a padded, adjustable headband, Onkyo on-ear headphones are comfortable to wear for hours at a time. Keep it rocking.

I was deciding between these and the AKG 550s which I have tried and are great. Ultimately I went with these because they are smaller (I have a tiny head) and far more portable than the AKG 550s. The sound so far does not disappoint and is pretty much the same as the AKG 550. I suppose I'm not an audiophile, but these onkyo's are crisp and precise. The bass could be a bit better, but I find that this causes listening fatigue in my sensitive ears so good for me. These headphones are great so far, and extremely comfortable. The price is excellent. I'm surprised they are not more. I can't wait to travel with them, it comes with a little pouch case. Excited!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite for me
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2014

First, its huge and I expect might have divergent views if it looks good to each owner. I did not think it suits my style. The sound requires at least 50 hours of break in in my case. But even then, the mids were not efficiently reproduced. That being said, I do not have a good ear for audio distinction. What matters to me are the looks and this did not quite hit the mark. It felt uncomfortable on the ears and I perspired readily to encounter this as not a very pleasant experience.

Well I couldn't enjoy these headphones too long because of the fragile cables it comes with. So I had to return it. The cable is difficult to disconnect from the cups and my hand slipped from the tiny connectors and on to the cable and ripped the cable clean from the socket of the connectors. I wonder how the refund process will go :,( . But other than that the headphone were good and had this added subwoofer effect kind of like the skullcandy crusher headphones. It was a nice touch but it felt very unnatural to me, as the bass didn't feed directly into my ear but just around my around. Mids and treble were great and I just wish they could be a tad louder without an amp. Other than that these headphones were enjoyable and interesting but I already had headphone jack issues where one ear cup lost its sound and I had to tilt it a certain way to get the ear cup to work. For such a highly praised cable, there were several issues with it. So I reccomend getting the basic version of these headphones because the cable isn't worth it.

I want to start by saying these headphones sound great. I have a few hi-fi headphones like the Hifiman HE400, Sennheiser Momentum, Sony MDR-1R, etc. And these can hang with them when it comes to sound quality and comfort.

The problem is the connectors. One little movement and the left or right (sometimes both) side gets cut off. The connection is Wobbly and not secure at all. Onkyo recommends leaving the cable in at all times, so then why did they make it removable?

I love the way it sounds but I highly suggest people avoid this headphone especially if you're looking for a long term investment.

I like these headphones very much. I bought these to wear at work, I have a machine job and I,m on my feet all day. They are comfortable and most important they stay on my head when bending. The wires are detatchable and seem like they would last, only time will tell. I like the fact that they a Y shaped wires for this reason: the wires are placed in the BACK of each ear cup, which means I can run the wires behind my head and down my back, and simply attach to my iPod or phone which I hang on my belt loop. The wires are just the perfect length for this purpose. I felt they are very well designed and attractive, sound quality is crisp and clear. They come in a draw string pouch, which is more convenient to carry around than a heavy case (for me anyway) these also are not noise canceling which is a nessicity for me. A great well designed pair of headphones.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Headphones + Bad Cable = Hung Jury
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2014
I'm a longtime Onkyo customer, everything from CD players to receivers to turntables, and was very excited to learn they'd thrown their hat into the headphone arena. The headphones themselves are sturdy and sound great. The problem is the proprietary cable which negates everything they've done right. It's recommended to keep the cable plugged into the headphones at all times and after four months of use, the right channel began to glitch. You'd simply move your head and the sound would drift in and out. The cable itself is the problem. Since the headphones are under a one year warranty, I contacted Onkyo customer support and asked for a replacement cable. I was given three far flung authorized repair centers they expected me to drive to for diagnosis, despite already knowing what the problem was. I was incredibly disappointed. The replacement cable itself is very pricey and it's the sole reason I'm reviewing this debit that refutes the headphones themselves.

I wound up getting a replacement cable made by another company that were intended for Shure's headphones. It costs double what the original did, but it's strong and seems more durable. Whether or not the gold connections make any difference, the headphones themselves are superb. It's the cord which drags them down, but get an outside brand cable and these work fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Headphones
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

These headphones sound great. Compared to the previous clip on headphones, I can hear parts of songs that I never knew were there. The build quality and sound quality are excellent. Even though they're on ear, they still block out a lot of outside noise,which is great. My only complaint is the cord. The housing around the connectors on each end that connect to the headphones are small which makes it a bit tricky to unplug. Since, I leave them plugged in, it's not a big deal. Also, when the cord bumps against something like a desk, the sound is audible through the headphones. When the cord is stationary, everything is fine.

All in all, I love these headphones and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality headphones at a reasonable price.
