I am not an audiophile, but to be honest I'm not far off either. I've owned various brand headphones until now, and sooner rather than later I usually got disappointed. The sound was either "not quite there" or they just simply broke too soon, like my highly acclaimed Plantronics headset, which...

awesome headset, good price and bass for these headphones. Perfect sound quality, however do get uncomfortable after about 2 hrs.

I love these headphones as they are light and for the price sound quality is quite good. They're light and look ok, after getting used to I'm able to sit through a whole work day with HD 202 and I doesn't get uncomfortable.

These Sennheiser HD 202 closed supra-aural stereo headphones have removeable earcups and adjustable chord-length to suit you. A lightweight diaphragm material provides low bass, while the neodymium magnets provide a powerful sound.

These comfortable, classy cans from the workshops of Sennheiser cost less than a pretentious limited edition Radiohead boxset; Wrap your lugholes in the enveloping leatherette earcups and you'll be immersed in audio that's punchier than a round with David Hayes.

You don't get the supreme build quality found on Sennheiser's pricier models, but let's face it, you're only paying a score; The earcups might not be quite large enough for more generously-proportioned ears, either.

Although just one number separates Sennheiser's HD 202 headphones from the HD 201, they're actually much closer to the enormously popular HD 212 Pro.  These two models come from the same generation and share a similar style,

Light; but perhaps too tight for some; Well-finished; refined design

Uneven sound with too much bass; Lacking in stereo: sound is too central

These were my 1st step up from earbuds and gaming headsets. I was very surprised by the difference, so much that I bought a 5 pack of these for less then $100 and gave them away for Christmas presents.

Amazing Headphones for the price

Not the most comfortable headphones around

I use my ipod out and about: on the tube, walking down busy roads etc. These closed back headphones really make a difference. Get rid of way more sound than a pair of active noise cancelling ones I used to own. The sound is also the best Ive ever had from a pair of headphones.

I was impressed by the sound.

Sennheiser HD 202 It's tough to find a decent pair of full-size, closed headphones for under $50--they're generally pretty painful, in terms of both their fit and the sound they produce. The HD 202 are clearly an exception to that rule.

For such a small outlay these headphones give out a very accurate and balanced sound, but we have doubts about their general build quality. We suspect that Sennheiser, pushed to create headphones at a certain price point, have cut back on comfort and strength in the interests of maintaining decent...

Superb detailed sound; Inexpensive; Long cable

Uncomfortable; Durability; Faux-leather
