Sennheiser HD201 Closed Back Headphone

Comfy and good sound for the price.

Strengths: Comfy, reliable company, light, sound quality so far is good, light noise reduction.

Weakness: Cord doesn't straighten out, nothing else for the price!

I'm no audiophile, but for $27 this thing is great. The bass so far to my musical tastes is fine, and they fit nicely on my big head and floppy ears :)

HD201

Strengths: Great sound. Price. Long cord. Stylish.

Weakness: The cord can be bothersome.

Great headphones for the price. Wanted to try them out with everyone giving great reviews. Tried them with my computer and MP3 player and they sound great. Good base and very clear. Don't know all those technical terms but they are well worth the price ~$18-20. Very comfortable so that I can wear for hours. Will try out the higher end products from Sennheiser later. Highly recommended.

Sennheiser HD201

Strengths: Crystal clear sound, cheap, sturdy.

Weakness: Bad (aesthetic) design, very long cord, low volume.

For years, Sennheiser is a name people looking for good sound could turn to. The Sennheiser HD201s further make Sennheiser a company you can trust for quality products. Before this pair, I used the MX300 earphones and Denon closed headphones. The difference in clarity is noticeable on both counts. I was always a fan of surround systems and speakers until I got this pair of headphones, but it's...

An outstanding bargain!

Strengths: Definitely the best bang for the buck as far as inexpensive headphones go. Excellent sound quality, and pretty comfortable too.

Weakness: Depending on what you're using them for, the cord can be a little long. If you like lots and lots of bass, these may not be the headphones for you.

Although I've only had these headphones for a couple weeks, that's more than enough time to realize what a bargain these headphones are. Noticeably better sound quality than any other sub $30 headphones I've used. Does well with both fixed sources and portable devices. Reasonably good at blocking out outside noise, though obviously not as good as some of the in-ear type headphones. One minor...

For The Price, You Can't Go Wrong

Strengths: Excellent quality for the price. Well-balanced sonically. Comfortable fit. Long cord allows you to freely move around for home use.

Weakness: 10ft long cord can make it problematic for portable use. Weak bass quality with virtually no impact.

I picked up this budget headphone set for my TV after reading all the glowing reviews about the HD201. Unamped the HD201 sounds fairly cold and thin. This issue improves a lot with amplification. However, the bass remains weak in quality and quantity. On the plus side, the highs on the HD201 are very impressive and extends leaps and bounds more than any other headphone even close to this price...

Sennheiser HD201 Closed Back Headphone

Strengths: PRICE! Lightweight. Long cord for when you need it. Sound quality.

Weakness: Long cord when you don't need it. Isolation not perfect, but good enough.

After reading some other positive reviews on this budget-priced headphone, I decided to pick up a pair. I am delightfully surprised in this circa $20 headphone. Sound quality of course does not match my Sennheiser HD280s, but for the price and comfort, this is worth it. I will likely take these when I travel when I want a closed headphone. I've been unable to find a good headphone like this, but...

Sennheiser HD201 Closed Back Headphone

Strengths: 1)Very sleek design. 2)Nice long cord that is very securly attached to the headphones 3) Comfortable padding on ears and top of headband 4) Not heavy and bulky, will not turn your earlobes red.

Weakness: None

The sound quality seems great, I have listened to Jazz and Pop music using them and they sound good. They are light but yet you know you are wearing them because they nicely hug your head. My slightly larger than average ears fit in them just fine. When wearing them you can hear what other people are saying to you but slightly muffled. I can wear them for long periods of time because they are not...

A value-for-money product from a Industry Leader...

Strengths: Distinct midrange and crisp treble, wearing comfort, light weight, swivel ear-caps, long cord, affordable price

Weakness: Nil

I already have a JVC closed back headphone, but since the cushion surround was disintegrated and I was experiencing a bit crackling sound during heavy bass notes, I decided to go in for a value-for-money set of headphones. After completing my detail search, I decided to purchase the Sennheiser HD201 closed back headphones, which I did on the 21st of Jan 2007. At a price of Dhs. 99.00 (US$ 27.00)...

Whoa. A nice surprise!

Strengths: Awesome sound, stylish, lightweight

Weakness: Don't fully isolate, cord may be too long

A couple years ago I bought Philips cans and I thought they were decent for casual use. I never realized that headphones could actually sound "good." Until I got a pair of these! I read a lot of great reviews and decided to see what all the fuss is about. Boy, these headphones really shine! The sound is very clear and undistorted even at high volume, the bass is punchy but clean and not...

Great headphones for this price

Strengths: Excellent sound mostly all-around, solid build, comfortable

Weakness: Does not isolate sound extremely well

These headphones are definitely the best ones that can be found for under $20. I am not an audiophile, but the sound is great for listening to a wide variety of music. These are circumaural and are pretty comfortable on your head because of the pleather cushioning. Also, it seems to be built solidly. Great buy!
