SENNHEISER Headphones

 (4 customer reviews)

The HD201 is the entry level headphones from Sennheiser. Considering the price you pay, it is value for money. However, if you are able to pay more, get a higher end Sennheiser headphones. I have a HD205 and it goes without saying that the HD205 is better than the HD201.

What I do like about the HD201 is that it is lightweight and it is comfortable and fits round the ears very well. The closed ear headphones also reduces some ambient noise. However, it is not a very "loud" headphone and when I turned to maximum volume on my player, I could hear a slight distortion.

I admit, I purchased these headphones without doing my homework. I know Sennheiser makes quality headphones I've enjoyed in the past, however this pair is missing a few key details. Although the price and sound quality were good, I've returned them to look for a pair of "circum-aural" headphones that fit all the way around my ears, and don't sit on top of my ears like these did. I'll also be looking for a cord that curls like a phone cord. This is a great space saving feature I've enjoyed on previous headphones, that this product lacked. Happy shopping!

These headphones are probably the best you can find for $20. The only knock I have on them is that the cord and plastic feels pretty cheap, but it's expected for that kind of price.
