A lot for a little November 19, 2008
I never expected such great frequuency response from such a reasonably priced set of head phones. I love highs and low low frequencies. This set of phones deliver a highly satisfactory range of both.
 Neutral sounding headphone with very high potential. November 17, 2008
This is really the best value headphone you can get. I am somewhat an audiophile and I have heard many high quality headphones, some 15times the price of this one, but the HD201 is the most impressive sounding headphone I've ever heard at it's price range. It has good comfort and sound comfortable as well. Overall I rate the sound quality of this headphone much higher than it's cost, if driven by proper equipments.
Physical design: It is a fullsize, closed circumaural headphone. Although the headband grip is not as tight as I wanted, it probably stay more comfortable that way. It is plastic so I wouldn't recommend abusing it, but I have slept while wearing it more than once and being tossed around that way it's still in tip top shape. The cable is pretty long and you can walk across the room with it. The earpads will cover your entire ears, it will block out some noise, but not too much to be used as a serious isolation headphones (ie. in-ear-monitors).
Sound: As a music enthuasist I really love the sound of this headphone. The great thing about Sennheiser sound signature is that they make the sound comes together, nothing jumps out at you, there isn't one part of the sound spectrum that is unbalanced with the other. It's not too warm and it's not too bright, exactly how I like it to be, there is no sharpness that will hurt your ears. Which means if you want big bass, this isn't it. I was expecting something more muffle sounding at this price range, people tend to dub Sennheiser brand as veiled sounding, but I don't perceive any of that.
Cons: The only thing that the sound ideally lack is sometime it can be a bit dry and not fluidy, which tend to base on the source/music you are listening to. Some instruments might not have a full body/thicker sound. Single notes might note have a longer decay period/resonance as compared to more expensive phones. But in the end the headphone limited by it's relatively small diaphragm size, you can't ask for more at this price.
Finally, the sound is only going to be as good as the music, source, amplifier and cables you use with the headphone. The great thing about this headphone is it can potentially become very good sounding if you pair it with high quality equipments, such as a high quality soundcard/source and a headphone amplifier, then the bass become very tight, smoothout midrange and very precise trebles. Instruments can be very defined and seperated. Although if you are simply connecting it to a weak mp3 player or directly to a labtop headphone output, you might not get the most out of it as I've described.
Bought them to save on shipping cost. Glad I did! November 17, 2008
I bought another product on Amazon for $12 which was going to cost me over $8 to ship. I hate paying nearly as much to ship a product as I pay for the product itself, so I looked for something to bring my order up to $25, which of course means free shipping.
I found these Sennheiser HD201 Headphones and noticed they had great reviews. I don't usually like to buy cheap headphones becuase I am never happy with them, but I needed a pair of headphones and I wanted to save on shipping so I took the chance.
I can't tell you how glad I am that I bought these. They ended up being about $11 because I saved on shipping, and for $11, these things rock. They have great clarity and I don't see why some people say they don't have good bass, because the bass sounds just fine to me.
Do they match the quality of my more expensive ones? No, not really, but for the price (even if I had to pay full price), these things are more than worth the money.
 Sennheiser HD201 Headphones November 12, 2008
They are great headphone, i would just like the cable to bew a little thicker, and they got to me exactly the day it said they were going to come
good headphones November 11, 2008
i bought this headphones for my everyday use, surprisingly it is really good for its price =D
pro:
- good price tag
- comfortable (for me) cause it has big ear pad
- stylish
- generally good for any kind of music
cons:
- i hate long cables
- cause it has big ear pad -> isolate less
- somehow you need crank up the volume
- it's not really a cons though, but if you want more bass
go with hd202 (hd280 if you have the money)
overall it's really good if you are looking for basic headphones =D
