Sennheiser HD 201 Closed Dynamic Stereo headphones for Studio, Performance Live and Djs - Black

What customers say about "Features"
Sennheiser HD 201 Closed Dynamic Stereo headphones for Studio, Performance Live and Djs - Black
- Considering the price, these are great headphones. Comfortable, balanced, good closing.
- They are durable, comfortable to wear and easy to clean. The sound is clear and crisp.
- For the price these phones have a decent build quality and sound pretty good. The cord is very long so not great for portable listening but perfect for home.
- They work great and there is no problem with the headphones at all. I like that the chord has great length.
- The worst thing is the cord. It is really annoying, it's REALLY long, about 10 feet.
Sennheiser HD 206 Stereo Headphone
- These were a great price and work for my needs. the cord was very long, the sound is great and they are comfortable for me to use when using them at my desktop.
- The sound is good. I really like them, they work well for me, and at a low cost.
- I was amazed at the quality for the price. They really are a great pair of headphones for listening to music, YouTube videos.
- Awesome headphones for the price: comfy, nice long cable, amazing crystal-clear sound.
- The 10 foot long undetachable cable and a design that doesn't include in-line controls or fold or collapse do not make these a good travel companion
