Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser HD 202 Dynamic Headphones
Digital camera Review: A steal for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
Personally, the most important aspect of headphones is the sound quality. The Sennheiser 202 sounds fantastic! You wont be disappointed. I live in a dorm with some noisy neighbors and being that I am a poor student I needed something cheap that sounded good and this fit the bill. It blocks out a fair amount of noise and sounds great. I'm an audiophile on a budget and for the sound reason alone, I would say buy this again.
My only complaint, which really isn't a problem, is that the cord is ridiculously long. I would much rather have a cord too long than a cord too short, so it isn't bad at all... just some people might see that as a problem.
Great product. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Digital camera Review: A tad bit tight, but great nonetheless
Summary: 5 Stars
These headphones - for this price - are really good. They're just a tad bit too tight, but I eventually (after weeks) got used to them.
Sound quality: 5
Comfort level: 5
Material quality: 5
Length of wire: 5
As I said, they're just a tad bit too tight - though my ears are a little bigger than average.
Great headphones overall. Great value.
Digital camera Review: A very good deal
Summary: 5 Stars
These are not audiophile headphones. However, for the price they are very very good.
I record bands and use 5 pairs of these as monitoring headphones during tracking. I wouldn't mix with them, I definitely wouldn't master with them. They are very enjoyable to listen through and sound great for tracking.
They have a slight harshness around 5 or 6k and a big midrange hole; they have good bass extension and can be cranked very loud. I have burned out a pair of Sony 7506s. I have yet to burn out a pair of HD-202s.
They are extremely light for closed-ear headphones. They work quite well with drummers.
The cords are a pain. They don't self-coil (they come with useless roll-up spool...things..) and they get caught everywhere. They're pretty long. It's like they were cut to professional length, but don't have professional plugs (see below about 1/8")
The cups adjust to head size allright. Nothing to write home about. They just do, and they don't fall apart in the process. That's a winner already for this price.
I don't recommend them for DJ use because the cups don't turn around. (you can't do that cliche one-ear thing too well)
They use a 1/8" inch jack, which is no worse than any other 1/8" jack, but 1/8" jacks tend to be cracklier and flakier than their fatter 1/4" cousins. Adapters don't address the fact that you still have a 1/8" connection in your signal path. This shouldn't really matter if you're just doing consumer stuff.
After 4 years of use one of the wires on one of my pairs broke from stress. I'd say that's pretty darn good for the price and the abuse they went through.
Definitely a diamond in the rough.
Digital camera Review: AMAZING
Summary: 5 Stars
These far exceeded my expectations, they're pretty much noise-canceling too, I'd say you can hear about 5-10% of the room with these on and medium level audio playing.
The only slight thing that I wish it had was a volume control but that's petty.
Amazing bargain for the price, seriously. The audio is crisp while having punchy bass.
Digital camera Review: AVOID - not made to last!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been through three of these...they eventually stop working on one side within a year, maybe two years if you seldom use them. It's either poor manufacturing or planned obsolescence, one or the other. I do not recommend these headphones AT ALL.
