Sennheiser HD 201 headphones |
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. I saw some good reviews of the Sennheiser HD 201 headphones and decided to buy them for 27EUR. That's actually quite pricey compared to the United States were you can find this headphone for $17.99 at NewEgg but I couldn't really find them much cheaper in my country.
Here's a look at the specifications:
Acoustic principle: dynamic closed
Ear coupling: circumaural
Frequency response: 21 - 18,000 Hz
Max sound pressure level: 108dB
Total harmonic distortion: < 0.7%
Impedance: 24 ohm
Cable length: 3m copper cable
Weight without cable: approx. 165g (5.82 oz)
Jack plug: 3.5mm stereo jack with 6.3mm adapter
Features:
Powerful sound reproduction
Rich, crisp bass response
Lightweight and comfortable to wear
Good attenuation of ambient noise
Extremely rugged
High-quality leatherette ear pads
Gold-plated ¼" (6.3 mm) jack adaptor
2-year guarantee
I received the HD 201 a few days later and put it on. The Sennheiser HD 201 feels pretty comfortable for a headphone of this price class. The HD 201 has closed cans and I can wear them multiple hours without a problem. They feel pretty light on my head and I don't get the feeling that my head is trapped between two clamps.
 
The sound quality of the Sennheiser HD201 is excellent. Of course it doesn't sound as good as headphones that cost more than five times as much but for its price it sounds real good.
These headphones are excellent for home use. I use them to listen to music and to watch movies on my laptop. You could use them on the go but the HD 201 doesn't have a foldable design like the Sennheiser PX 200 and it has a pretty long cable so it wouldn't really be convenient.
If you need a cheap pair of closed headphones you should definitely consider the HD 201s.
The good stuff:
- Cheap
- Sound well
- Comfortable
- Long cable (3m)
- Don't leak much sound
The bad stuff:
- I couldn't really find something bad about the HD 201.
I give the Sennheiser HD 201 headphones a 9/10

I do have a Sennheiser HD201 and have use it more then 2 yrs. It still sound great but the ear pad start the peel drop off, the leather drop all over the place and sometime it even stuck on my hair.
It do have a good sound which is use it for gaming, music, and many more.
Compare to a Philips SHP2000, it is clear and you can feel the beat of the songs. The only good think i like about SHP2000 is that it have tighter Bass compare to Sennheiser HD201.
I would give this product a 11/10 if possible.

I have just bought a pair of these headphones from over in new zealand and whn i thought being such a small country that we would get all the throw back electronic products, not the best ones, and especially that these ones where only $40 NZD i thought i was taking a risk as it os usually very hard to find a high quality headphone at this price. But nope, trust sennheiser to give me a great product the HD201 are a very good set for there price the look clean and smooth and sound great for the money you pay. definatley a great choise of headphones if u want quality and dont want to break the bank. also i thought i might add that i am a very fussy person when it comes to comfort and i have no problem wearing these for hours!! |

For portable use, not so good... Sounds very flat, get an amp like a FiiO E5 to drive them properly. |

Ive just ordered some from play.com I need something for monitoring on my G4 emac using ableton when creating riffs/tunes and for listening to Finnish/Swedish metal on my ipod nano. I was tempted on some skullcandy but cant afford them at the moment and i am not sure if they are all flash and no substance. I am looking forward to trying them anyway when they arrive, has anyone compared these to skullcandy GI or hesh? also how do they compare to similar priced AKG. best wishes...paul |

This is a great headphone for classical music but the bass is a little flat for rock. The Creysyn LMX-MH41 is better if you like a little more bass |
