The Sennheiser HD201 Headphones keep out ambient noise while delivering powerful stereo sound with a rich, crisp bass response to your ears. The gold-plated adaptor enables a superior connection with your audio source, and the rugged design of the HD201 protects it from wear and tear. But these headphones are still lightweight and comfortable, with leatherette ear pads to keep your ears comfortable.

 I May Not Know Much, But I Know I Love These! December 4, 2008
I'm not an audio expert by any means, but I know what I like and I have owned many, many pairs of headphones in the past. Noise-cancelling, non-noise-cancelling, earbuds, headphones, in-ear, out-of-ear, surround-ear, you name it. It seems like headphones and headsets are kind of an obsession of mine.
I use larger headhpones such as these Sennheisers primarily for playing video games on my computer after my toddler has gone to bed, and occasionally for listening to music (also on one of my computers). (When it comes to my iPod, I generally use something smaller and more portable, such as earbuds.)
When I took the HD201 headphones out of the box, I was first amazed at light they are. They seem to weigh almost nothing, though they don't feel flimsy by any means. I tried them on, and they were immediately very comfortable. They surrounded my ears comfortably, and the adjustable length on each side allowed for a perfect fit. I also noticed that the cord on these is nice and long, which is a plus. So far, so good. So I plugged them in for the real test.
WOW.
These sound GREAT! It's really kind of amazing to me that Amazon can offer these for under $20. I read the other reviews and paid attention when some reviewers said that they weren't loud enough, or sounded funny on "s" sounds. I did not find that to be the case for me. They sound just fine on all types of sounds and music, at various levels, and the volume is not a problem.
Pros: light-weight, comfortable, great sound, amazing price
Cons: too big for my taste to travel with, since they don't fold
I kind of wish they had an attached microphone, because then I'd never need another headset for gaming! However, for listening only, these are top-notch and I was very pleasantly surprised by the terrific quality at such a low price.
Sound Great, Look Dorky November 27, 2008
I was originally shopping for phones for a friend to use on a long flight, so since comfort was important, I settled on circumaural earphones (phones with earpads that completely enclose the ear rather than sit on top of them). These got great reviews on audiophile web sites, so I checked them out in person at the local audio emporium. I'm not an audiophile at all, but have a decent ear and was quite pleased in comparison to much more expensive sets. Unfortunately, though, I couldn't get a good sense of how they would sound with my music because the audio store only gave me a choice between some really crappy club music or some sonically lean Bob Dylan.
Anyway, now having checked them out with my own music library, I'm very happy with the sound. Since I live alone and am not a PC gamer, I never gave much thought to using headphones with my PC, but now listening to the great sound, I'm a convert. I'd like to use them with my mp3 player as well, so I wish they had a better-looking design. If Sennheiser had left the silver off the earcups and narrowed the headband a bit those minor modifications alone would have made a huge improvement in the looks. But these sound so good for the price, I'll live with occasionally looking a little dorky out in public.
EDIT: Uh, no - I just looked at myself in the mirror with these on, and they're just too big and ridiculous-looking to wear outside. On a bus, trip or plane ride, yes, but walking around town, no way. Pity. It'll be hard to go back to earbuds after these, regardless of quality. There's nothing like a circumaural headphone.
great deal November 25, 2008
great bang for the buck. wont find a better deal. shipment was quick and in perfect condition.
Great Headphones November 24, 2008
I was looking for a decent set of headphones for not a lot of money. I'm not an audiophile, but I do use headphones at work. They're comfortable to wear, and sound great to my untrained ear.
Good for the price November 23, 2008
These headphones are fairly comfortable and good for the price. Sound quality is good for the average listener, but if you know what to look for these are not for you. They also shipped really fast.
