Best headphones in their price range! March 19, 2010
Christian G. Rivera (Orlando, FL)
I bought the Senn 201s because I was looking into a cheap, light, yet quality pair of headphones. The Senn 201s have had many favorable reviews on many sites, so I decided to pick them up. For around $20, why the hell not?
I have to say that I have owned and/or tested headphones that are considerably more expensive than the Senn 201s.
After opening up the package, my first reaction was: The HD201s LOOK great, but they feel cheap. I believe the cheap plastic helped make them as light as they are, so I wasn't bothered by it. I wasn't expecting too much in build quality, but they look great and feel great once you wear them.
Now for the most important part, the SOUND. All I can say is... WOW! I simply COULD NOT believe how great they sound. I mean seriously, I find the sound from these to be more pleasing than even the more expensive Sennheiser HD280 headphones which are about quadruple the price of the HD201! They are considerably neutral, which is a big plus for me. They aren't too dark or too bright. They sound just right. There is no lack of bass, nor do you lose much clarity. They are obviously not as bassy as the HD280s, nor as clear and rich as the Audio Technica AD-700s, but they are well balanced. I can easily say they hold their own among much pricier headphones, so feel at ease if you get these, they're worth every penny. That's just 2000 or so pennies. :)
In the end, I sold them to a roommate, because they pinched the top of my ears after extended use, but I'm a rare case where I need ULTIMATE comfort. I'm sure the majority of you will find them to feel just fine. I find 99% of headphones uncomfortable so don't let my opinion on their comfort sway your decision.
To sum it up:
Pros:
+A quality product for a budget price
+Sound alone would make these rival headphones worth triple or quadruple the price
+Lightweight
+Look great
+Surprisingly great headphones for gaming with Dolby Headphone processing (more details in the bottom section)
Cons:
-Plastic feels cheap
-Closed ear designs can get hot after some extended usage. Typical closed ear design faults.
Honestly, these are among my faves ever tested and owned considering how cheap they are. There really isn't too many bad things to say about these if you look at how incredibly well they perform. It's like getting a porterhouse steak for the price of a fast food burger.
I have owned and/or tested these headphones in this particular price range:
Koss UR40 ($30)
Philips SHP-2500 ($20)
Skullcandy Lowrider ($35)
Sony MDR-V150 ($20)
The Sennheiser HD201s SMOKE ALL of these headphones! It's an insult to compare them to these headphones.
Note to Gamers:
This section is for the gamers out there: I use all my headphones with the Astro Gaming Mixamp while playing on my Xbox 360 and PS3. The Mixamp utilizes Dolby Headphone surround processing to turn Stereo headphones into 5.1 virtual surround sound headphones. Google it if you haven't heard of it, though I'm sure most gamers have. The virtual surround effect in Dolby Headphone is considered better than true 5.1 surround headphones. I have to agree.
While I use my Audio Technica AD-700 for gaming (the clarity, soundstage and positioning on the AD700s are arguably considered the best in the sub-$200 price range,), I like to test out other headphones to see how they perform under gaming conditions.
The Sennheiser HD-201 headphones paired up with the Mixamp performs ADMIRABLY. This may sound like a joke, but I honestly found them to sound BETTER than the overpriced Astro A40 headset. The Senn 201s have GREAT positioning, decent soundstage, and clarity. I'd say that if you're looking into gaming with headphones/headsets with the Mixamp and wanna save some cash, pick up the Senn HD201 for the small price. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Obviously they don't have a built-in mic, but there are plenty of ways around that setback. Look it up. :)
 great headphones March 15, 2010

I purchased these headphones after they were recommended by an audiophile. Of course his are of higher Sennheiser quality. I work in an extremely noisy environment and they are comfortable, cancel out the backround din, while providing great sound quality for the price.

I'm not a big user of headphones, but I bought these to diagnose the source of some degredation of sound in my home stereo system. These headphones delivered a sound clear enough for me to determine that it was the receiver, and not the CD player or the speakers, that was causing the somewhat shrill sounds in the high end. Seemed worth the $[...] just to do that. I've ordered a new receiver from Amazon as a result.
What I didn't expect was the comfort and high quality sound these things can deliver. Compared to headphones from my youth (40 years ago?), these sound much better and weigh practically nothing. I'm not surprised there has been progress in that many years, but I'm a little surprised how much better the value is (price vs. performance).
Highly recommended for the occasional headphone user. If that's you, you won't be disappointed - [...] bucks well spent. Probably a very good choice for the more frequent user as well.
Great deal!!! March 2, 2010

So I was looking for a cheap pair of headphones to buy because I always seem to end up breaking them! Usually its the cord that connect to the heaphones. My boyfriend recently bought some Siennheiser headphones, but they were $100+. He loved the quailty and sound from this brand so I though I'd give it a shot! And these ones were super cheap, so even if i do end up breaking them, no worries! :) Sound quality is awesome! You won't be disappointed! :)
Anything less than 5-star should be Criminal February 27, 2010

I can personally tell you these are Amazing headphones. They give you that *Thump* you been looking for. I have to say Im at a bit of a loss where people got the idea these have horrible Bass. My god i nearly popped an ear drum. For the price. they are an absolute steal.
Con: Im new to this whole "proffesional headphone thing. Heck I usually stopped at local staples, office depot and called it good. Never again.. I would however would prefer if they had the little Volume adjuster.
Once that sound hits ya. most you can do its run away lol
