Everyone giving these phones a 5 star rating is quite right. I really wanted a pair of Sennheiser headphones and thought I’d give the HD201 model a try. For the price, I expected something fairly mediocre. How wrong can you be?
The sound quality is absolutely outstanding. If I’d paid £100 for these, I’d have been happy. I’m no DJ or sound expert, but still cannot believe the clarity and rich sound. I’m not convinced the bass is as deep as some have said and I think it does need a little boost from an amp, but the phones handle it with no distortion. After buying these, I listened to various genres of music (from classical to trance) and wasn’t disappointed with any. I then left them connected overnight with a playlist of the different music styles to bed them in. It does make a huge difference to the sound and is worth the effort.
No wonder Sennheiser have such a good reputation! Don’t be fooled by the price of these, they look and sound a lot more expensive!!

If you needed more positive feedback, then here it is. These are very comfortable to wear – light and adjustable. Sound reproduction is excellent. Listening to many different genres, and at reasonable volumes; bass is well defined, trebles don’t sound too bright, and the midrange is superb. Depending on your needs the very long cable is a benefit. The best value for money I have spent on anything for quite some time. I haven’t tried more expensive headphones, so I can’t make a comparison, but how much better can sound reproduction get per pound? Not much I think.

I run a small recording studio and needed extra/spare headphones in case of any unexpected breakages or unexpeceted extra musicians. I bought these cos they were so cheap and the reviews at headphone.com were so positive. I expected at best just to not hate them, but Im actually astounded by them. For headphones that cost me £10, these are absolutely unbelievable.
Naturally they can’t compare to £50+ sets out there, but how close they come is frightening. They’re extremely light and comfortable, the mids dont honk like all other cheaper sets, and theres an evenness to the tone that suits a studios needs really well. I had an extremely talented pianist wear them all day in a very long session and he made no comment. He just never guessed that they were imposters in a professional environment.
The only quibble you could make is that they’re a little quiet, so they need cranking, but me – I instantly ordered another set.

I don’t know what the other reviewer was listening to, but it could not have been fully fuctioning Sennheiser HD201 Headphones.
Mine are very comfortable, great response and made me get a new set for my i-pod shuffle after testing them in the store on it.
Superb clarity, great bass response, wonderful trebles and all in between.
There are better out there, but for the price these are a great buy. Many other online reviews would agree.

These headphones sound great with my ipod and my macbook, and has superb clarity, treble and bass. I recently bought the sony MDR-V300 Headphones and these are way better! The sound is way clearer, compared to the sony’s which have way too much bass in my opinion. Also these are much more comfortable than the sony for extended periods of time…Solid purchase!!!
