Whenever I buy full sized headphones I sometimes like to go with the specs on the back of the packs or the boxes rather than solely read up on reviews. I look for specific information that I know about having dabbled with music sound engineering at a basic level and always look at the OHMS level that headphones come with. Sometimes however, I just go by observation rather than read the specs - because if there is one set of Sennheiser headphones I have seen over the years in recording studios and music tech labs, it isn't the more favoured silver cupped HD201 headset, but the more durable, slightly timeless HD 202 series; the product got a five star rating ...  Read the complete review

When I purchased my MicroKorg (which I reviewed last week) I realised that I didn't have any decent headphones to use with it. My friend had a spare pair of Sennheiser HD202 headphones (and luckily for me, a keyboard stand, which the band 'The Presets,' had just used for a gig!) which he gave me for free. When I began my commute to work (a good 90 minutes each way) I realised how naff iPod headphones are. On the tube especially, where noise levels are so high, I couldn't hear the music through them. One of the iPod headphones broke, but I had a spare pair. Slowly, listening to music on my iPod was grating on me due to the poor sound ...  Read the complete review

Their Sennheiser, a name you can trust as they've been well respected makers of audio equipment for quite a long time. You might think Sennheiser equals expensive but that's not the case here, these headphones can purchased for less then 28 quid! I found mine on Amazon about 2 years ago & they cost me £15 then but that was on special offer (reduced from £25 as I recall). These are the can-style over ear phones with a connecting padded band that goes over the skull, they come in classic black and look pretty sleek but are strong & sturdy and are not likely to break if you drop them (which I have done many times and their still going strong with no marks ...  Read the complete review

I bought these headphones just over a year ago now, and I have to say that I am very pleased with them. The sound quallity is very good for the price, however the bass responce is very high, which can take some getting used to. The build quality of the product is very good as well, after a year of everyday use, wear, and tear, they look and sound just as good as the day that I bought them. One particularly useful feature of this product is that it comes with a cable winder which allows them to be stored and the cable not to get tangled, this is a major advantage over my other pair of over-ear headphones which seem to be in a constant tangle. Another useful ...  Read the complete review

I have a set of the predecessors to these cans and they live attached to my computer which I use for music production and DJing they are superb, so when I needed some new cans for my iPhone these updated ones were my first port of call. I prefer over ear cans for public places as they give great sound without being too loud and don't annoy everyone else which is ideal given that I take the train to work and also listen to music whilst working. Frankly, at this price I don't think you'll find better sounding headphones, and as a bonus they are comfortable and pretty light, yet the band is robust. I do have slight reservations about how robust the adjustment ...  Read the complete review
