  ericthegreat's review "Not for me"

  Overall Opinion

  The Sennheiser HD 200 headphones have an ok sound, but these headphones present many issues for me. I find my pair hyped by at least 3 to 6 dB at the bottom end. This is good and bad. It's good because you really can hear what's going on way down low. If you can get the bass end of a mix to sound clear in these cans you'll have no problem with hyped subwoofers. However, the hype is bad because it really does make a lot of CDs unpleasant to listen to (and don't get me wrong: I love bass). They're fine for spoken-word, acoustic, and classical (especially organ music) but just about any genre of electric/electronic music is just too OTT. I can feel the air pumping through my Eustachean tubes into my throat with only moderate volume settings.
  
  
  
  In contrast the top end is wonderfully smooth and reveals harshness in source material very nicely. In summary: a useful tool while mixing but not a pair of headphones I'll use for relaxation except for my favorite organ music. If they weren't a gift, I'd probably have looked elsewhere. These are a little hyped in the upper and lower registers, but it is not a problem if you acquaint yourself with these headphones. The sound reproduction quality is very good, and these headphones are well worth the price. Very comfortable design allows for hours of use (I sound like a product brochure!) If you're looking for something a bit more accurate, check out the newer model of these, I've heard good things about them as well and a local studio owner here uses them and recommends them.
  
  
  
  Overall I would strongly recommend the 205‘s, they are good quality, well-made headphones. I wouldn’t waste my money on this model if I was you. There are way more headphones on the market that are cheaper and sound better. These will give you a headache.

  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Overall Opinion

  Originally written by fjohn on Audiofanzine FR.
  
  
  
  Bought accidentally in 2003. I used to have other models in this price range but they deteriorated rapidly. This one withstood almost everything. Astonishing quality: I'm not very tidy, I'm easily irritable and the headphones flew several times against the wall...
  
  
  
  Exchangeable cable (which is a basic feature for good headphones).
  
  
  
  The sound isn't linear nor unpleasant. However, I won't use them anymore for mixing because I bought the MK240 which are much more transparent, linear and comfortable.
  
  
  
  Very big drawbacks: closed headphones with an unbearable headband. You won't stand them after one hour. I have tinnitus problems which become stronger each time I use the headphones because of the pressure against my ears (as if I would clench my teeth tightly). I don't have this problem with the AKG (half-open headphones).
  
  
  
  You can use them for DJing or recording applications, you can even listen to music but that's not their main purpose. Hi-fi freaks and sound engineers, this product is not for you...

  mooseherman's review "Sturdy, high quality headphones"

  Overall Opinion

  These are a pair of headphones that are quite large but have great sound. While they are sometimes advertised as studio headphones, I certainly wouldn't use them in that capacity as they aren't the most suited to that purpose. However, they do make a great pair of headphones for just regular music listening. They have great low end, which is really nice to have in headphones as the low end tends to suffer most. The midrange and high end are also fantastic. The quality in general is high enough that low-quality MP3s will sound noticeably bad. This is either good or bad, depending upon the quality of the music listen to, but I would say that the benefits (such as hearing more detail than you probably are used to hearing with headphones) far outweigh the drawbacks.
  
  These headphones work well at home and out on the street. I highly recommend them to people who live in the city, and are frustrated with poor-sounding headphones that don't drown out the outside noise. These are quite capable of doing that naturally, with no need for the electronic noise cancelling that you see in some other headphones.
  
  One use that I have had lately has been using them to listen to music while playing. My drummer has tried this on multiple occasions, and he loves using them for this purpose. He can hear the music loud and clear yet still hear his drums. I think that is the best test of a headphone in that purpose.
  
  While these headphones certainly don't have the most functionality compared to studio headphones, they are quite honestly one of the better pairs I've owned. I'll have them for a while too, as they are actually a really sturdy build. This is probably why I was able to buy them off of a friend for a good price, considering how old they were.

  Overall Opinion

  Purchased randomly from Baker in 2003 there. Before other equivalent model in the series, but who are easily degraded. This one has to resist just about anything. Amazing quality, I'm not very careful and angry, sometimes the headphone flew against the wall ...
  
  
  
  The cable is replaceable (the min. For a good headset).
  
  
  
  Listening is not absolutely neutral, not bad so far, but I will use it to mix more since I moved to MK240, significantly more accurate, flat and comfortable.
  
  
  
  Big downside is closed with a bp all that this entails, but the greenhouse system sennheiser head is unbearable and painful. After one hour, you can more. Accouphènes of mine who is, I can add that whenever I put pressure on my ears I revived my accouphèbes (exactly like when you clench your teeth very strong), Pb I do not have the AKG ( Although it is a semi-open).
  
  
  
  headphones for DJ and sound recording in a pinch, you can listen to music on it at a pinch but it is not clear why. Audiophile sound engineer and budding, go your way ...

  Viguier's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use them for 5 years now
  
  What I like most: the weight, sound, price.
  
  What I like least: the fragility of all (not just the cord).
  
  Rgulirement I am obliged to open (I 9), the indoor recbler, I now stick tape because the connectors are out of their tendency fcheuse housing ...
  
  
  
  The report price is good quality, as long as the sound is l. ..
  
  on the other hand you have to customize a product for REALLY "finished".
  
  APRS we forget they are so LGERS and the sound is good ...
  
  
  
  Ben saw that I 9, I think the choice adj "a little" t re )
  
  
  
  *** 3/11/09 *** THE SHIFT
  
  Warning, these headphones are no longer manufactured and replacement cords are rare and expensive (40-50 Euros in the cord replacement).
  
  AAAARRRRGGGGGG, I will tell my musicians to be a little more careful

  arimidex's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  3 years since I used this headset.
  
  careful it does not serve to make the monitoring of your prod.
  
  Indeed its not neutral uncomfortable (although super light), and must be tinkering to keep it long time.
  
  Anyway it is very firm and I use for decision without repisse voi.
  
  The reference pro is in my opinion abusive as that of monitoring.
  
  I m not use it on an mp3 player because the impedance is too high result the sound is too low!
  
  before my purchase I did not know the criteria.
  
  in fact it ALWAYS test its monitoring headphones without financial commitment!
  
  j saves with experience to take a more expensive model.

  madmaxx's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 6 years now, and it is always the same. it has not aged.
  
  
  
  In the era, I was offered it, so I do not have data for model selection. I just thought because I knew from Sennheiser that reputable c'tait not losers in the field ..
  
  
  
  I also encountered the problem but cut me out of warranty. So I got used to disassemble once a year to reconnect son. And the quality is there! It may show ok, but it is solid and disassemble wish. The son does not even have soda and small terminal lugs.
  
  
  
  I use the hours per week and satisfaction is always Submitted. the bass have not changed one bit, they sound good, even if we can do better. Highs are not quite as pure as before but still good trs.
  
  
  
  As he holds up I have not tried other brands, but the next headphone will be a Sennheiser.
  
  
  
  Last, I do not know if it's normal to others, the wire is clipped with a jack, which allowed me to save her life 1000x walking on the wire.
  
  
  
  Unlike some stuff I never thought I Spar him, that it costs + slab but hey it's ugly!!
  
  
  
  October 27, 2007:
  
  
  
  I change my mind a little ... I think that almost 8 years, my HD200 had its day. The coils I let go, he lost his and boost quality ...
  
  But hey that price ...
  
  RIP HD200 ... I will never forget!
  
  
  
  But I remain pro Sennheiser advitam eternam!

  Claygues's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  Bought 70 euros in 2002. He had a problem in the time of the guarantee, and since APRS change, few prs 4 years of good service. The cable may be necessary because chang plugs with a small jack (very small).
  
  It's my best headset so far. The rponse frquence seems to me in neutral. It restores dtails well and is comfortable and lightweight. It seems to me a little lost in the use and quality that now saturates faster on certain frequencies.
  
  
  
  For most it is necessary to significantly more money.
