Good For Large Heads - Not Tight or Uncomfortable, March 26, 2011

First of all, I always heard movie stars have large heads, as people with large heads are more photogenic. But when it comes to headphones, as a large headed individual, it's not quite as fun as they pinch and it's hard to wear them for long. So as fun as it is being photogenic, finding hats and headphones is a pain.
I snapped my Boise headphones in half trying to 'stretch' out those flimsy little things. But these Sennheiser HD201's are sturdy, comfortable, loose enough to where I don't notice them, have a loooong cord and are at the lower end of the price range. However, I'm not any professional in music that I can tell quality differences in sound. These sound about just as well as any headphones, but the important thing for me is I won't get frustrated and rip them apart trying to get them to be more comfortable. AND they fit OVER the ears, not sit on top of them, which is also uncomfortable.
I was a bit hesitant to buy these because of the price with 'you get what you pay for' showing up in so many of these reviews. But not now, I'm buying another pair for work - ear buds would be better looking, but I'm wary of the hearing loss associated with them (just my own opinion).
So, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, The Rock, Arnold Swartzenegger and I will be wearing these on our big heads, as I'm sure they will all read this review!
Damn Good Budget Headphones., March 30, 2011

Ordered these as a way to alleviate myself from being subjected to my co-worker's poor taste in music, and compulsive need to listen to the same 25 songs every day over speakers instead of headphones of their own. I was using a seriously crappy pair of JVC earbuds before I got these two days ago, so my reveres for the Sennheiser HD201 headphones might be based slightly on the night-and-day difference, but I know good headphones when I hear them. I used to own a pair of Sony MDV-150's and I loved them. Looking back, I apparently didn't know a damn thing about sound quality. I've read some reviews of the HD201's saying the bass is lacking. I say HARDLY! In my opinion I feel the bass response actually represents a true definition of the intended audio. The fidelity and frequency response of these 'phones are quite incredible when you take into account the relatively low price tag. Now, while I wouldn't necessarily opt to use these for professional audio mixing, I can rest assured that they make headphones specifically for that. If I'd have to get critical about the audio in any way, I'd say the ultra-highs are lacking if anything. Other than that I've been using them on my iPod (with the EQ turned OFF) and on the computer to listen to audio from video, etc. The HD audio of YouTube videos makes so much sense now!
The comfort's also really noticeable right away too. Several hours and they feel just fine. They're not so light that you don't notice you're wearing them, but they're not annoying or painful either. The cups are nice and large too. My ears stick out a bit, so those old Sonys pressing against my ears all day would eventually leave me sore. These fit juuuuust fine.
For me, it was a toss-up between these and the slightly more expensive HD202's, only because I'd read that these lacked a good amount of bass. Boy am I glad I didn't listen. Any more bass that close to my eardrums would give me a headache after a few hours, like the old Sony MDV150's do. Don't get me wrong, I love bass. I have a 12" subwoofer behind the driver's seat in my truck! But any more bass to me would be excessive to me and probably more suited towards those that like to drive around with their windows down blasting whatever bass-heavy rap business to get the ladies a-runnin'.
