REVIEW: Sennheiser HD 201 Headphones
With my work on a radio station increasing I am in more need to do music work at home so it was a good idea to grab some new headphones. It made sense so I wouldn’t irritate other people nearby….or it was that I wanted to feel like a DJ at home…. So where better to go than Sennheiser? At only £12.99 these headphones not only come at a low price but also don’t compromise on quality. These provide the perfect step up from starter headphones and give a real depth to the sound!
The build quality is solid but you may find it quite light and cheap on the silver casing of the ear cushions compared to the rather luxurious cushion that rests on your head. It comes with a cable that is nearly 2.5 m long, way way longer than necessary, with a standard 3.5mm jack and a 6.3mm adapter so you’ll never be caught short whichever connection you need. Concerning the quality of the sound I can recognise good sound when I hear it but even though I’m not an audiophile, I instantly heard increased clarity through the headphones and even parts of songs I hadn’t heard before. For instance I was playing an F1 game and when you go over the corners of the track you can hear the individual bumps whereas just with the computer speakers I could not. This increased depth of sound really helps to improve your overall sound experience! I’m not going to tout them as the best headphones ever as they are simply not, however for much of the money you can spend on headphones, for only £12.99 you will not be able to beat these Sennheiser marvels.
