Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: ...cheap...

The first model of Sennheisers HD range the HD201's are naturally the cheapest and are not really aimed at any specific purpose other than for 'general listening' so as to be fairly good for all types of applications as opposed to really good at one type of application.

The closed black earpads are surprisingly comfy for a pair of this price and they looked to be fairly robust until I hit them with a hammer and then they ceased to work.

The Sennheiser HD201 has a frequency response of 21Hz - 18Khz and SPL (sound pressure levels) set to 108 DB.

These headphones are not ideal for recording/monitoring or undertaking serious projects where mixing is required. They do not produce a very accurate stereoscopic image of the music being listened to and we lose a lot of high end. Then again these headphones are only £20 and to be fair they were not designed with a specific use in mind.

The length of the attached cable is 3 metres, long enough for most use, and also included is a mini-jack adaptor so that you can convert the quarter inch jack end of the set to a 3.5mm mini jack input.
