They sound aweful, that's all. Bass rattles the speakers, treble makes my teeth hurt & mid-range is lifeless. "pro music and DJs"? Ya 'avin a laugh. Comfortable though.

Sennheiser HD-201 headphones review

By Kenneth Henry (pocket-lint.com)

No, Pocket-Lint is not turning into the Sennheiser tribute site, the problem is that universal German rival Beyerdynamic has returned to the studio level of audio equipment, content to let Sennheiser carpet the portables market with the kind of spread...

The sound quality, the comfort, 3m cable lets you move around a room

dds bass but source needs own amplification; 3m cable and no take-up makes this a set for the home (competing with existing higher models)

For £17 on the street they're excellent for home listening, while the existing HD202s do the same job on the move for £3 less

We were listening on a Marantz CD Player, which could supply enough bass through its headphone socket to make it worthwhile. Without proper amplification you would need to crank up the level of your recordings in a package like Goldwave to get the best...

Sennheiser HD 201

By Tristan François (digitalversus.com)

These are headphones to use indoors, and there's no doubt about it. But if you look around you next time you're on the bus, you'll notice that more and more people listen to their MP3 player using big headphones instead of little earbuds. Are the HD...

Light and comfortable to wear ; Stylish deisn and good finish

Spectrum is uneven and treble takes over ; Earpads quickly become warm

The HD 201s would make a great spare pair of headphones and won't put too much of a dint in your budget. They're less well-suited to everyday use, though; because the lack of equilibrium across different parts of the spectrum and the fact that they...

And despite covering your ears well, the HD 201s are light and don't grip your head very tightly. Firstly, that means some of the sound escapes, but it also means that you're not very well-isolated from outside noise. That could well be problematic for...

Sennheiser HD 201 Headset Review

By Jammer (onheadphones.com)

Award: Staff Recommended

Save money and enjoy sound quality and comfort with Sennheiser HD201!

As with the other headphones presented on the market by Sennheiser, the Sennheiser HD 201 headsets are very effective when compared to their price. Their main pluses are the comfort levels and the sound, as well as their vintage design, which makes...

While the sound is perfect in general, it seems they leak some sound at times and the bass is weaker than with other such devices. This makes the Sennheiser HD201 headphones great for gaming and watching movies, but improper for listening to music,...
