Do not buy if you listen to music
The built is OK, pretty good. But you do not buy your headphones for the built - you want to listen to the music. And this is where the problem begins, the sound quality is simply not good at all. Compared to my ole Philips (bought for a third of the price!!!) this set is very dull.

Every review I've ever read of these states: "For the price, these can't be beat." And I agree, but "for the price" is a relevant caveat. Bass is pronounced, more so than my MDR-V6's, but is somewhat muddy, especially in the 125-500Hz range.

Sennheiser HD 202
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.

Sennheiser HD 202 review
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...
Pros:
- Superb detailed sound
- Inexpensive
- Long cable
Cons:
- Uncomfortable
- Durability
- Faux-leather

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.
Pros:
- 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.
Cons:
- 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.

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.
Pros:
- Amazing Headphones for the price
Cons:
- 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.

Sennheiser HD 202
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,
Pros:
- Light
- but perhaps too tight for some
- Well-finished
- refined design
Cons:
- Uneven sound with too much bass
- Lacking in stereo: sound is too central
