What customers say about "Key Specs"
Sennheiser HD 201 Closed Dynamic Stereo headphones for Studio, Performance Live and Djs - Black
  • The sound quality is decent. Not hi-fi but for general purpose monitoring they'll do fine.
  • You can catch the fine notes but won't get deep bass out of these.
  • Has a very clean sound for such an inexpensive headphone.
  • The headphones sound great. They sound very good and i recommend them.
  • These are fine for listening to music or working on the computer in a quiet room, but if you need more volume, better try something else.

What customers say about "Features"
Sennheiser HD 201 Closed Dynamic Stereo headphones for Studio, Performance Live and Djs - Black
  • Considering the price, these are great headphones. Comfortable, balanced, good closing.
  • They are durable, comfortable to wear and easy to clean. The sound is clear and crisp.
  • For the price these phones have a decent build quality and sound pretty good. The cord is very long so not great for portable listening but perfect for home.
  • They work great and there is no problem with the headphones at all. I like that the chord has great length.
  • The worst thing is the cord. It is really annoying, it's REALLY long, about 10 feet.
Sennheiser HD 206 Stereo Headphone
  • These were a great price and work for my needs. the cord was very long, the sound is great and they are comfortable for me to use when using them at my desktop.
  • The sound is good. I really like them, they work well for me, and at a low cost.
  • I was amazed at the quality for the price. They really are a great pair of headphones for listening to music, YouTube videos.
  • Awesome headphones for the price: comfy, nice long cable, amazing crystal-clear sound.
  • The 10 foot long undetachable cable and a design that doesn't include in-line controls or fold or collapse do not make these a good travel companion
