Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons: -The earphones sometimes detach, but they can be easily reattached.

Pros: -Amazing value-Crystal clear audio with nice bass response.-Durable and adjustable-lightweight
Comment:
I bought this on sale a while back for about $30. Sennheiser truly makes quality products. For the price you aren't going to get much better headphones. Out of the various makes of headphones I've had all in this price range, this one has the best sound quality, while not breaking after 2 or 3 months like the others. Also it's lightweight and easily adjustable.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons: Small on my earsCable too long.

Pros: Noise CancelationGreat Bass
Comment:
I bought these for a friend and he let me try them on. Firstly, i thought the material was really soft. however, small on my ears. i only had it on for about 5 minutes, but i could expect my ears to start hurting after an hour or so.The design on these are quite unique. The only flaw, i would say, would be a 10 feet cable that you can't detach/shorten.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons: none

Pros: Price, sound
Comment:
I bought theses for when I cant realy use my Kef3005se speakers. Four movies they have a nice sound and good soundstage, I do not find them as clear or good as my kef 3005se speakers can sound.If you are looking for nice headphones that are a bargain for the money and have a limited budget, these would suit the bill nicely.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:Cord is extremely long

Pros:InexpensiveVery comfortableGreat sound quality
Comment:
I bought this a while ago for $39.99 on sale, definitely worth what I payed for it. The headset is extremely comfortable, I can keep it on for long periods of time without getting annoyed at it. While using it I can hear alot of small subtle sounds I could not hear before through my speakers. Overall great purchase would definitely buy again.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:The ear cushions on a Sony I tried were twice as comfortable, but these sound twice as good (for half the price)

Pros:Outstanding sound and value
Comment:
I bought these headphones b/c I was looking for a cheap set of cans that would be comfortable to wear for long periods of time (as opposed to smaller earcups.) At this price point, I did not expect much but I've found these headphones so outstanding I thought I'd leave a quick positive review. The bass is actually decent and there is a definite sense of 3D sound. I am no audiophile but I believe the average consumer will be highly pleased with this set.

Cons:flimsy long cord

Pros:cheapgreat sound qualitycomfortable
Comment:
I bought these headphones with my new budget computer build. Really amazing. Very good sound quality for the price. Pretty much has noise reduction built in in the headset. Very comfortable and could wear for hours. Seriously consider these before going for BOSE or Dr. Dre Beats given the cost of 50 $.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:The plastic arm seems a bit flimsy, but I doubt it will snap is proper care was taken.

Pros:Good sound, reasonably priced and a perfect gift for a person starting to be interested in music.
Comment:
The overall product is great, it provides clear sound and thumping bass. For the price of 40 dollars, it was a great deal, better than what some of the other competitors had in my area. Which cost a lot more for just a pair of introductory headphones for DJ.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:Mids and Highs, Cord Just Standard,

Pros:Price, Value, Closed-Headphone, Minimal Noise Leak, Bass, Comfortable
Comment:
Bang for your buck closed headphones. Pretty much everything I wanted in a pair of headphones for under 50 bucks. Good quality sound without disturbing others around you. The cord is just standard cable, so use some attention when using them to minimize the wear. Some people say they find them uncomfortable but I can wear these all day without any problems so I guess it depends on head shape/ear size etc. etc. Would recommend to others.

Comment:
They're pretty "meh" compared to competition.I own both these and the JVC HA-S700 and hands down the JVC wins: same price range, but WAY better construction. This review was modfied by poster @ 03-13-09 08:36 AM

Pros:Great Sound, Price, Very comfortable to me.

Just picked these up and have to say wow. These sound great and for the price they are even sweeter. I have an avg to small size head and they fit very comfortably. The bass is not muddy and plentiful, the highs are crisp and clean. Would buy again at a moments notice.

Good sounding cans for 35 bucks! Pretty good sounding units, and fairly comfortable. I have had 200 dollar cans that didn't sound any better. Nice flat frequency response.I use these puppy's for mixing with FL Studio. Would buy again!

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:-cord is too long but it comes with a wrapper up thing (which I still haven't figured out how to use)-cups aren't super deep but are deep enough

Pros:-great bass-great high frequencies-closed cups create  "own little world effect"
Comment:
These are the best headphones anyone could ask for! At first i was skeptical of the comfortability of them, but when I tried these babies on my ears felt like they were in heaven. For around $40 these are the best headphones u can buy. The bass is very crisp and the the higher frequencies sound great too! I paired these up with my new 4th gen nano and the sound quality is amazing. Ive actually started hearing different instruments in songs i could never hear before!! My favorite part about these headphones is they are closed so they don't let too much sound in or out. It makes you feel like you're in your own little world. Sometimes I just wear these without even plugging them in. I just took these for a run and they seat very securely on my head even while I'm beasting it out. The minor downside to these headphones is the wires being freakin long. I could see if you had a slightly wider head these may be a little tight. If your ears are big it shouldn't matter too much because in most cases (even mine),part of the cup sits on your ear. But what does matter is how far outwards your ears are because the cups aren't mega deep. I mean this with utmost seriousness. GO BUY THESE HEADPHONES.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:The cord is a bit too long.

Pros:Good audio quality, affordable, includes adapter.
Comment:
I picked these up when they were on sale in May, considering the price it was a good deal. The audio quality is good and I can feel the bass. The cord is bit long and might get caught occasionally so I bundle the excess when I'm using it. Other than that I'm glad I purchased them, it also included an adapter for a 3.5mm to 1/4" plug.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:The cord is rather long (10'), and although the headphones come with a belt loop to wrap the cord in, it would nice if the cord was a few feet shorter.

Pros:Durable construction, great looks, very comfortable even when worn for hours, excellent sound quality.
Comment:
I wanted something to listen to a variety of music on my laptop and with my iPod shuffle. These headphones serve me great for these purposes.One thing to note is that they are very sensitive and thus produce very loud sound with a low volume input. I generally use these on my Thinkpad R61 laptop at around 5-6% volume. On my Asus EEE laptop, the sound level is defening on anything but the lowest possible volume setting, with the both the Main Volume and Wave levels turned down as far as possible in the Windows Mixer dialogue.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:Had to pay for shipping I suppose...

Pros:Comfortable on my ears (fits my big head just fine), and they sound better than my $80 Sony 'phones. Cord is nice and long, which could be a weakness but they include a little plastic thing to wrap the cable around and it does a fine job.
Comment:
Purchased them on sale, and definitely got a great deal on a "spare" set of 'phones. They sound better than the Sonys I usually use to DJ with, and I'll definitely be purchasing more Sennheiser products in the future...

Cons:Way too tight, quickly gets uncomfortable

Pros:Sennheiser brand, good sound for the money
Comment:
I'm surprised to see 4 people found these headphones comfortable. While I agree that the sound is great for the money, I cannot wear these headphone more than a few minutes, then my ears start hurting. My suggestion is than you try them on if possible before buying them.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:Mabey a little big, but who cares - There awesome

Pros:PowerfulClear/crispInexpensiveComfortable
Comment:
I no longer actually have these headphones as I accidentally got one of the cables caught on something, and it wrecked the cord as I stood up. It sucked a lot, as only the left ear piece worked from then on (separated the metal cable inside the rubber). While I had them, they ROCKED!! For $50, I doubt you could find a more powerful, clear, and comfortable set of earphones. Just keep in mind that the cord is very long (10 ft) and you can easily catch it on things; but they come with a belt accessory that hold the excess cord.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:- Very long cord.- Don't go aroudn the ears unless yo uhave very small ears.

Pros:+ PP pricing on these is sweet+ Great sound, I never got any headphone udner 100$ that would match these.+ Very solid.+ Long cord and cable management system.
Comment:
These headphones are awesome and for the price you can't get better as far as I have heard. They are not HD555 but don't pretend to be either. Also being DJ style headphoens, they don't let much noise fro mthe outside come in and people around don't have to ear what you are listening to.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:- Slight hissing noise (common among all noise-cancelling headphones)- NCIX wouldn't price match to proper price

Pros:- Excellent sound, bass, treble, sound separation for the price- Comfortable to wear- Good level of noise cancellation
Comment:
Although NCIX wouldn't price match the headphones down to the $30 outlined by the previous review, these headphones are nevertheless outstanding for a low-cost headset. Excellent sound quality that scales well with increasing volume levels, you start to lose a bit of integrity as you reach volume levels that are uncomfortable to the ear. These headphones far surpass any sub-$60 headphones I've ever tried on.The noise-cancelling is good, but not perfect. This might be a pro or con depending on what you're looking for, but for me it strikes the perfect balance of noise cancelling and being able to hear at least something. There's also a hiss, common to most noise-cancelling headphones, that is fairly noticeable when not listening to anything, but quickly disappears when listening to music. I wouldn't wear these without listening to anything, though.The headphones are comfortable to wear, and enclose the ear fairly thoroughly. The padding is soft, and it's easy to get lost in whatever it is you're listening to and forget you're wearing them. They warm up the ears a bit, but that's probably due to me not being used ear-covering headphones.Haven't had these for long enough to attest to their construction quality, but it's Sennheiser, so it's hard to go wrong in that department.Overall, great product, outstanding quality for this price, would purchase again.

Sennheiser HD202 Stereo Headphones
Cons:-None thus far

Pros:-Amazing sound quality-Great price-Fully enclosed and comfortable-Don't require an inline amp for bass response
Comment:
I bought these for ~$30 PMd, after a LOT of research into headphones. While they aren't 555s, they seem to share the same Sennheiser greatness; they have fabulous sound, are reasonably comfortable, and fully enclosed to reduce ambient noise....Oh, and did I mention they were THIRTY BUCKS??? Though I can't speak about their longevity (yet), they seem quite well made for $30 earphones, and deliver clear, bassy sound that works well for music, movies, and gaming. I'm thrilled!
