All user reviews for the Sennheiser HD 202

I have been using it for several months now.

I have two others:
- A Numark HF125 that I paid 10 € for. It is light and cheap, but honestly it cannot measure up to the HD202. Lots of bass and no treble, balance is wrong, any deaf / choking. In short it is still in my drawer!
- Sennheiser HD238 - very nice although a bit fragile. The sound is finer, more balanced and detailed. But the price is not the same either (70 &euro.

The design is simple, gotta love plastic! It is strong and that's good
In the beginning when it is new it is a bit hard on the head, but softens with time, you don't end up thinking about it.
The three-meter cable makes it ideal for all uses. Nothing to report at the jack - it is basic but solid.

I bought the base for my mp3 on the PC and finally I used for everything every day, especially to mix! Performance is good, so unlike others you can use it on an mp3 without having to push it, it sends fine.

Regarding the sound, the bass is the game! I try not to push too hard too long or my ears tired. A moderate level is not a problem.
The mids and highs are also present, neither too little nor too much. In the end the sound is more than good for a headset at this price. I rediscovered the pleasure of listening to music while being well isolated from background noise.
As stated Gonta, it seems that lows soften with time. It's not so bad!

The quality / price is tip top!
If tomorrow I was messing around, I'd still recommend the same. I am not an audiophile that's for sure, but at this price point, I think it must be really difficult to not be satisfied!

I had another model for 2 years but the cable was too short so I bought another.

I had other models like the Sennheiser HD 201 headphones and a small Senheiser.

What I like most is a sound studio (feeling of a well insulated) and the midrange and high not so Aggressive.

The bass sound is excellent but sometimes too far.  But I know that with time the bass may become weaker. (Difference between my headset which is 2 years old and brand new is huge)

Briefly, I use it to mix, listen to my mixes, listen to songs, movies and games.

I love this AC headset as it remains for me the sound I am looking for
In fact many people around me have also bought it after I made them listen to some music.

A repeat buy for sure especially for this budget.

- For how long have you been using it? a little over a year
- Did you try many other models before getting this one? A Technics at 40 €, 50 € JVC and others of the same range. It was my first headset by Sennheiser
- Which feature you love most, the least?
+ The shipment level bass, it's classic for Sennheiser.
- This is not a closed headphones, contrary to what is announced
What is your opinion about the value for the price? There is no better on the market, you can always search
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? Yes without hesitating if I want a entry level.

I want to clarify that contrary to many opinions of "professionals", you compare a pair of entry-level to 30 € with product that cost 5 times more expensive it's like comparing to a Clio then a Mercedes!
It's a good headset for the price, you will listen to your mp3 on a PC or home theater. It is quite powerful and 3m cable is useful at home - you don't need to be chained to the TV. On the subway, we appreciate the cable reel. Comfort level is subjective, depending on the size of your head and your ears. With my small ears, no worries. It is completely plastic, but remains strong and robust as well. The only major issue for me: not a real closed headphone! It does not isolate outside noise and if you turn it up, people around you "enjoy" your music. If you want to listen to music without interference, or without disturbing the people around you, do not buy it, instead get intras - you isolate much better for the same price. Then again, it is not for the DJ, even if it is often classified in this category because the atria are not adjustable or reversible.

Now it's on, compared to my Sennheiser HD 25 C II, or the Monster Dr. Dre my brother, this is not the same, but the first costs € 170 and the second around 270 €.
So I score 10, in its price range, I have not found anything better for nearly 4 years

The Sennheiser HD 202s are a pair of studio headphones that are designed for monitoring during recording or for playback.  These aren't good enough headphones to mix on and I would only use them listening.  For this purpose, they definitely get the job done as they have a pretty full sound and sound quite good overall.  While they aren't the most comfortable headphones in the world, they do fit on your head well and will stay on easily.  They do have leather covers on the ear pieces that do make them feel good on the ears, but the piece that goes on the top of your head and connects the ear pieces together sometimes gets in the way.  The headphones also have a piece in the middle of the cable that you can wrap up the cable on, which can definitely come in handy if you don't want the wire dangling too much.  It has an 1/8 inch connector, making it seem like they are designed for more casual listening.  I definitely have trusted Sennheiser over the years to make high quality gear in the form of microphones and headphones and even though this is on the lower end of the spectrum for Sennheiser, they have still done a nice job of balancing quality and price.  The best part about these headphones is indeed the price as they are affordable for just about anyone on any budget.  I would recommend these headphones mostly for those looking for a good sounding set of headphones for general and casual listening purposes rather than for the recording studio, but they will definitely work for listening and playback in the studio as well.  Just don't expect them to be useful for anything beyond this as I don't believe that they are all that great for anything beyond playback and listening.
