 Uncomfortable, hurts my ears December 12, 2006
15 out of 23 found this review helpful
after 2 hours of wearing these bad boys, my ears are tender and erythematous. The sound quality is fabulous, but the physical discomfort is a pain.
Perhaps I just need to get used to them, or "break 'em in" or something like that.
Correction 1/1/07: now that I have gotten used to them, they are great. no longer hurts my ears even one bit. great cans; highly recommended. The nice frequency response range is great for hearing the ever-so-tough systolic click murmur of mitral valve prolapse.
 hd201 vs hd202 February 4, 2006
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
hd 201 fit over the ear. hd 202 are smaller and cushion sits on the ear; my personal comfort would be slightly in favor of hd 201. hd 201 filters out a little less exterior noise but people watching the TV will not be able to hear your music on either in same room.hd 201 has volume, bass, & treble set much lower than hd 202, this can be almost equalized by changing your volume, bass, and treble settings with your soundcard in computer. When listening to computer for over an hour I prefer hd201 due to comfort and less moisture in ear retention. I do not know if the hd 201 would be appropriate for someone not using a sound card to adjust treble/bass. Cord is long on both which is good for computer listening.Both are fairly sturdy & will probably last, each is plugged into its computer in den to avoid TV problems for the family. A very good family purchase decision. probably really 4+ on sound quality but I don't have $100 sets to compare it too.
Great pair of headphones at a great price! November 29, 2005
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I just bought these headphones after looking at some noise canceling ones as well as a few others that were similar to this. I bought this pair because of good reviews from amazon as well as from a headphones site.
These headphones sounds great! There is rich bass and the sound is full. It sounds just as good as a my speakers I have hooked up to my computer with a subwoofer. I plugged in these headphones and then put in the ipod speakers and these are a million times better. The only thing that I like about the ipod speakers is how small and convenient they are. Thus for short trips, working out at the gym or walking around campus, I probably will continue to use the white ipod earbuds. But when I go on longer trips, on flights, and even in my room when I can't have sound because of my roommate, I will use these headphones.
They are comfortable as well. I have a pretty normal sized-big head and they fit well. As far as the guy who says they didn't fit his head, I don't see how that is possible. This is because you can adjust the headphones by pulling them out. So unless he has a really small head, one on which the headphones wouldn't reach his ears, then I don't know how they couldn't fit him.
Oh and if you are looking for a pair of headphones that blocks out background noise, these will do the trick. I asked my roommate to talk and make noises and I could barely here him if at all! So on an airplane, I would imagine these would be perfect.
All in all, these are a great pair of headphones and at a price of less than 20 dollars, they are a great deal!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
 I thought they were good until I actually used them... May 12, 2007

I almost never ever review items unless I am really surprised with their quality. And that can go both ways. Unfortunately it is not in a good way this time around.
I bought these when I needed a second pair of headphones because I took my first pair (Philips SBC HP170) to use at work and wanted to leave a pair at home. Well, I ended up rarely using them at home until recently I decided to give them a shot.
I took them to work and have been listening to them every day for the last 3 days, about 6 hours on average (I'm a software developer).
At first I thought that something was wrong with my sound output because I had to crank up the volume to FULL on the system and take it down a notch from there. They have very poor sensitivity it seems. Now I understand why I could never get strong enough sound from my laptop either a while back. I just ignored it that time.
Secondly, I turned up the bass in WinAmp's equalizer because these headphones barely have any bass response. However, all that did was muddy up the sound, didn't really do much with the bass. No matter how I played with the equalizer I couldn't get these to work right. Now it got to the point where I'm listening to music that I used to listen to on my old headphones and I HAD to stop what I was doing because the poor quality of these headphones made me so frustrated that I couldn't focus on work!
I unplugged the HD201s and plugged back in my old cheap, (I think they cost me 17 bucks at RiteAid a few years ago), Philips HP170s. Wow, I'm back to normal now!
Overall I would definitely agree with the review named "Not loud enough, sibilant, slightly bright." It's rare that I get frustrated (or happy) enough with a product to take the time to review it but this is one of those times.
Good luck!
For ~$20 US, excellent. January 4, 2006

I listen to music frequently, and though I could not honestly consider myself a TRUE audiophile (an audiophile being a person willing to spend $100 on a certain type of speaker cable for "maximum audio quality), I am definetly familiar with audio equipment that sounds good. I spent $100+ on an Audigy 2 soundcard, a card that has made a significant impact on the enjoyability of my listening experiences on my comp, and $200 on a decent set of speakers, and those are the two largest audio purchases I've made in a long time.
I've used several different "studio-style" headphones over the past few years, and while the HD201s are not at the top of my list, they make a close second. The bass isn't quite as powerful as I'd hope it'd be, but it was actually more powerful than I expected (high hopes, low expectations, that's me). Treble's fine, though it can be a bit ringy at times.
I mainly got these to:
1) Listen to music sometimes at night when everyone is asleep.
2) Listen to music at work during break.
3) Listen to myself practicing guitar, so I don't drive everyone in my household nuts.
If you need headphones for any of the above reasons, or similar ones, I'd suggest giving these a shot. They're durable, comfortable, and have better sound than most anything else you'd get for ~$20.
