 Great cans for the price September 3, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was very impressed by the performance out of these very inexpensive phones. The phones seem to be very durable, well built. These headphones are very efficient so they work great for portables...iPod in my situation. I also purchased the HD580s at the same time and wooohooo I'm very pleased with them as well! I've owned them for 2 months and get quality sessions out of both. I work in a lab so the HD201s are great for their "closed", non-disturbing to others design. Bottom line, the 201s are amazing quality for what you pay.
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.
 Doesn't live up to Senn's name January 8, 2007

The HD201 rests on the lowest rung of Sennheiser's product line - inexpensive closed headphones with a cheap plastic design and a sound that lags behind its competition in this price range. The sound has surprisng range, but the trebles can be irritating, with a hollowness that can't be overcome by any combination of music and volume. The pads are passably comfortable, and of course, they're composed of an inexpensive leatherette.
Most listeners seem to prefer the Koss KSC35 or 75, but many headphone designers have products that surpass these. But these do have one thing going for them - name recognition - and that (with its price) might enough for them to push a few extra units. But if you're expecting a miracle from these headphones, it's probably best to look for your sonic miracles elseware.
A Boom-Box for Your Ears April 19, 2006

I bought these headphones to use when I play my keyboard. They are precisely what I need. First and foremost, they reproduce sound very well. It is clear, without any hissing or static.
They are comfortable to wear. The headband is adjustable and padded. It fits me and my husband comfortably, though we have different head sizes. He is bald and appreciates the padding!
The earpieces cover my ears well and block outside noise sufficiently for me to practise the piano, while the TV is on, in the next room.
Lastly, here's a hint. If you want to leave them out on top of a table or cabinet, a wire banana hanger makes a good-looking, inexpensive stand.
These are great headphones at a modest price.
Just get a pair already November 18, 2006

Mine cost $17 with free shipping. I'd have been satisfied had they simply been adequate, but I was very surprised. They ain't audiophile, but they also sound like "real cans", as good or better than the competition costing 3X as much.
Pros:
flat response: some will call this "boring"
Extremely light and comfortable, especially for large heads
great soundstage
stupidly cheap
3m cord
Cons:
not sensitive, and need a strong source like an receiver.
OK, that's a pretty lame con, as these are intended to be hifi cans, not ipod replacements.
If I compared them to higher priced stuff, then I might start talking about how the texture and timbre of the instruments is a bit lacking--but I can't really go there at the price point. For their intended use, at at the price, there are simply no glaring faults.
Tip: out of the box, sybilants such as female SSSSs's and drums can be painful. Let them burn in overnight mounted on a cantaloupe, and the drivers will loosen up. Sounds like utter voodoo, but the result was obvious with my pair.
