message: this article is not npov, it reads as advertising, especially the external links at the bottom. what is the tag for advertising? Can someone paste that up? Sorry I'm in a rush right now otherwise I would do it - also I don't know enough about the subject.Rusl (talk) 19:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The flagship HD 497 is open-air and designed with a more balanced frequency response, allowing them to compete with the Grado SR-60. This series is now accompanied by a collection of similar low-priced circumaural headphones (HD 415/435/465/485) and the eH series, marketed for DJ and studio monitoring use (eH 150/250/350).

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Andreas Sennheiser]] 

message: Much of this article reads like it was copied verbatim from company press releases and promotional brochures. For example:
“The German company was founded in 1945 by Dr. Fritz Sennheiser and, to this day, remains an independent family business. Since 2013, Daniel Sennheiser and Dr. Andreas Sennheiser have been Co-CEOs - the third generation of the Sennheiser family to lead the company.”
This is not how an encyclopedia article designed to provide unembellished factual information should read. A purely informative article would not include phrasing like ‘and to this day it remains an independent family business’ which is typical of the “our story” section of promotional material companies publish.
An encyclopedia article is not about telling the company story. It is supposed relay facts and figures about the business and its history. Nothing more, nothing less. Dry stuff and not very exciting, but that’s how an encyclopedic NPOV is supposed to read. If you want a narrative and lively writing read the company’s PR and product advertisements, not Wikipedia.
This article isn’t terrible, there are far worse on Wikipedia, but it does violate the NPOV rule. Unlike at articles about politics and current affairs, there aren’t hoards of partial editors camping out here and policing it to ensure that their preferred bias stays intact. So making changes isn’t futile. 
If I have time I will come by later and tweak it a bit. User2346 (talk) 07:53, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

text: The issues with tone you've mentioned are still present. Unfortunately, the best way I can think of to fix the tone is to remove the extra information, and half the information on this article, even though it's technically correct and cited, probably needs to be removed. I'd be in favor of either a rollback to before the COI editor came in or rewriting it from basically the ground up. Xexno54 (talk) 15:09, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article reads like a press release and violates NPOV guideline 

message: Nothing in the article about the Sonova acquisition (https://en-us.sennheiser.com/newsroom/sonova-acquires-sennheiser-consumer-business-wpc768) I remember news before it happening, but I thought I imagined it or something and seeing nothing about it here made me panic lol. Never contributed to wikipedia before, but just wanted to flag something noteworthy I felt needs addressing. Can come back to this and add edit myself once I work out how to properly do that lol.
