Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Good: The price!, design, nice sound quality, comfortable fit both on the head and over the ears, lightweight, long cord, blocks out ambient noises. If you've bought cheap over the ear's before only to find they don't fit, these are for you. The sound quality is comarable to my old Koss UR29's, but those would always break on me after a few months from me lying down on them. (My fault, I know. Those UR29 have a weird design where the headband meets the phones.) I like these better so far. It's only been 1 month and these feel so much lighter on my head for 8-24hrs a day. The Not so Good: Cord is slightly too long for my tastes and tends to naturally twist up. No on-board volume control (UR29 has one). No real complaints, just nitpicks.

I wanted to get a pair of good around the ear headphones under $30, these looked very good and the brand has been usually good quality. When I went to the store I also found the Koss UR20 for the same price and slightly higher specs, so I bought both to see which were better. After a couple of days of tests I must say these HD201S are a little disappointing. Even though they are comfortable, right size and lightweight, their plastic construction tells you right away that they won't last very long, tiny plastic hinge looks very weak. As far as sound, they have poor bass and low output compared to the great performance I found on the Koss UR20 which have great bass and output, plus good construction and flexibility. Both have extreme long cords (8-9.5ft). On the other hand, the only problem with the UR20 is that they are big compared to the 201s... but if you don't mind the size and look and care more about the sound quality, then check your local Best Buy store and get the Koss UR20 instead. If you think these are too big, then I suggest the JVC flat foldings (over the ear) which are smaller and have better sound, bass output and better quality over the HD201S. Avoid these Sennheiser unless you only want a pair of headphones that look good, no matter the sound quality.

These are probably better than 99% of the headphones Best Buy has in store. That is because most all are over-branded and under-engineered. For this reason these are the best value at Best Buy if you are seeking headphones and do not want ear buds. They will last, they sound plenty good, and they are affordable. Do not get sucked into a purchase far beyond the value of the good. Colors and endorsements by artists don't help sound.

if you're interested in a good set of headphones it doesn't cost very much and that will last a long time if you take care of them, then this is the set of headphones for you. They are comfortable and they feel like they should have cost more than they did. They're heavy, and they're built really well. I've been using them now for some months and I haven't had any problems with the wiring shorting out, and I'm not getting any distortion even it loud volume which means that the drivers are holding up very well.

I needed some headphones for my office that wouldn't hurt my ears and have a long enough cord for me to move around without worrying that they would rip off of my ears or out of the computer port. These headphones work great for that. I'm no audiophile, but the sound is good and the comfort is good as well. I can wear them for 3 - 4 hours without feeling any discomfort. If I go longer than that my ear will ache a little bit, but it's not bad. These are great, I use them all the time.

These headphones are used daily. The workmanship is top-notch and the sound quality is excellent. This is my second pair of Sennheiser headphones with the first pair costing four times as much as these cost. For the price you get a solid headphone set, it's comfortable to wear for hours, and the quality of workmanship and materials used is great.

Picked these up on a trip to MA after reading about them online. I appreciate the quality of the sound reproduction. I've compared these to other headphones in it's price range and have found nothing comparable. In fact, I would have to pay at least two or three times as much for like quality. My only problem with them is that my son likes them much better than his Sony's for comfort and sound when he watches movies or plays games on his iPad, so I have to compete with him for them. Maybe I will just get a second pair!

I've used higher end Sennheisers in audio production before and have always been impressed. Decided to try this more budget model for some less critical stuff around the house. As someone who cannot get used to earbuds and on-ear designs, I found these comfortable and light. Almost too light. I get the feeling they won't hold up if I wanted to travel or use them professionally. They're great to put on for casual listening though. And while you don't get the same awesome sound as high end headphones, they perform respectably, stressing clarity over bass. If you want cans that BOOM, look elsewhere. But I've been able to listen for hours without discomfort or fatigue. Better than your average below $30 headphones, in my experience.

I bought these for use with a computer monitor which doubles as a TV screen when combined with a Blu-Ray player or AppleTV via the HDMI in port. Since the monitor has no speakers, I purchased these to use while watching shows on that monitor. They are light, comfortable, and provide a reasonable sound quality for the price. Actually, the sound is better on these than on other more expensive pairs I auditioned while in the store. They also have a fairly long cord so I can move around better, as opposed to the standard 3-ish foot cord on most portable headphones.

Pros -Great sound -Decently comfortable -Fantastic price. Cons -Loses comfort after 2 hours of use. -Cushioning around ear could be better quality. I would recommend theses to anyone looking for a great set of headphones at a great price!

At $20 this was a great buy in my opinion. The sound quality is good, not great. They are definitely NOT noise canceling. I use these at my desk to listen to music or videos while at work and for that purpose they are perfect b/c they are so comfy. If you're looking for headphones that have a very high quality of sound, look elsewhere... but if "just ok" is good enough for you then this is a no brainer to buy.

I bought these headphones to use while doing minor sound editing at school and for listening to music. The Sound is just great, very deep and clear. I'm hearing music in a new way. These headphones will cancel outside noise as well. These are over the ear phones so they don't hurt my ears after prolonged wearing. Overall these are a great buy and a good entry level headset.

I bought these headphones for listening to music at home. They are a great headphone with not too much bass. When connected to my home receiver they are everything that I hoped for. Very responsive and if I close my eyes I can picture myself almost in the music. The head phone cord is very long. Which is perfect for listening from a reciever but the length makes it hard to use from my iPod.

I have pick them up today, I have used in the computer with is the main reason why I bought them, and let me tell you that I'm very happy, also to be use next time when I take a flight because I hate those earbuds, nice volume, not bad noise cancellation, comfortable, and good quality for the price.

You probably won't find better headphones for the price. They sound great and are comfortable during long listening sessions. I should have purchased these a long time ago.

These headphones are great for the price offered. They fit well and have pretty good range. Sometimes the wire can be too long so always have one of those flexible tie things. The range is great as well. Normally if you get headphones, they'll hike up the bass range so that you'll have that powerful bass. It's better to have a range of frequency efficiency so that your listening experience is enriched, which is why these headphones work great. For the price they offer, the Sennheiser HD201s are great. I recommend them for anyone who wants to casually listen to music.

I Got Exactly that.... sound Much Better than I had expected..... very comfortable for me...... so am Very Pleased....... Nice Salesperson - Liked This Brand - & I'm thankful for His Suggestion..... Plus..... I had Used my Best Buy Bonus $$$..... which helped make for an inexpensive purchase !!!....

I bought them for my 12 year old son to replace another set that I paid way more for. He puts them through the ringer and they are holding up. The long cord is nice to have.

Bought these headphones for my son. I have to assume they are good quality, entry level headphones as he uses them everyday for listening to music and podcasts, and hasn't had any complaints about the sound quality, fit, or tone.

We got these head phones for a 13 year old with bilateral cochlear implants. She wanted headphones that would fit comfortably over her processors and not stand out from her friends'. These have fit the bill perfectly, and worked wonderfully. She uses these multiple times a day and loves them. We had no issues so far other than the slightly too long cord and would definitely recommend these to others; especially other cochlear implant users out there.
