For £17 on the street they're excellent for home listening, while the existing HD202s do the same job on the move for £3 less

The sound quality; The comfort; 3m cable lets you move around a room

Dds bass but source needs own amplification; 3m cable and no take-up makes this a set for the home (competing with existing higher models

Two weeks ago my good old earphones stopped working and I started looking for a new pair on the Internet. After doing some more research I decided not to go for another pair of earphones but for headphones, as I would mainly use them at home.

Sennheiser HD 201 Sennheiser's HD 201 is a full-size headphone, which means it uses a thick headband and large earpieces. The headband itself is made of rigid plastic with a thin "pleather" pad at the top for comfort for the crown of your head.

Earlier I used the JVC HAG13, but after giving those away I was looking for some other cheap headphones with acceptable sound quality, preferably closed, with circumaural cushion pads because on-ear or in-ear phones tend to be literally painful to my ears.

Sound quality (for this price); Closed phones; Wearing comfort

Mechanical impact to cable is heared in the phones

The HD201 is amazing, considering the price and form factor. It has sound quality that one would never expect from $20 headphones, let alone closed headphones. The bass is fairly deep and pretty clean, but is a bit lacking in oomph and kick, though good amplification helps a bit in that regard.

This is great for laptops or for an environment where your things can be accessed by any one. These headphones are almost free for the price and are without question the best sounding cans at their price. They fit snugly but you forget they are even there because they are so light.

Great sound for the price; Lightweight and perfect fit

The cord dangles from both ends of the headphones

I also ordered these using the Pepsi Stuff promotion. They are a lot better sounding than I thought they would be. The long cord is a nice feature. Its been a long time since I owned a set of over the head headphones and I forgotten how comfortable they can be and how much outside noise they keep...

I use the product to listen to music and for laptop compatible uses... gaming, etc. The headphones provide a generally high quality, affordable alternative to the other Sennehiser models, but are a bit lacking in bass quality.

Comfortable; Compact; Highly Compatible; Lightweight; Rich Sound

Bass could be better

Very good quality, i use them at the moment for monitoring when im on the computer producing, and listening to my iPod. the noise cancelling is excellent, which great on a noisy bus, and they alos keep a lot of the sound from leaking out.

Now that German's Beyerdynamic has returned to studio-level audio equipment, it's let Sennheiser carpet the portables market with the kind of spread that Beyer boasted in the 1990s.
