Whats Included

HD 201 Hi-Fi Stereo Headphone
6,3 mm Stereo Adapter

Q: How long is the cable?

A: Hello- The cable is 10 feet long.

Q: How much does this weight?

A: 5.8 ounces

Q: Volume control (for TV use)

A: Your TV might be assuming that the output is to a stereo with its own volume control. If you look around your sound settings you should see an option for variable audio output. It may not be called exactly that but it should be easy to find the correct setting. Once that is on, the TV volume will control the audio output volume.

Q: Is the chord too long to plug into an ipod and put in a pocket?

A: You can tie up the rest of the cord and put it in your pocket...

Q: Do these headphones have volume control?

A: These headphones do not have a volume control. You can always add the HZR 62 volume adapter to any Sennheiser headphone.

Q: What is the 1/4" adapter? What is it used for?

A: Most A/V receivers and pro audio equipment have a 1/4" (6.3mm) headphone plug on them. The adapter lets you convert the 1/8" plug into a larger 1/4" plug.

Q: How much can these headphones swivel,cause if its for DJ-ing then it should be more than 90 degrees?

A: Hello- The HD 201 earcup does not swivel, for a swivel earcup, see the HD 205-II.

Q: Cord Saver??

A: Hello- The HD 201 does not come with a cord winder. The HD 202 in fact does.

I found something better than this for the same $
I wanted to get a pair of good around the ear headphones under $30, these looked very good and the brand has been usually good quality. When I went to the store I also found the Koss UR20 for the same price and slightly higher specs, so I bought both to see which were better. After a couple of days of tests I must say these HD201S are a little disappointing. Even though they are comfortable, right size and lightweight, their plastic construction tells you right away that they won't last very long, tiny plastic hinge looks very weak. As far as sound, they have poor bass and low output compared to the great performance I found on the Koss UR20 which have great bass and output, plus good construction and flexibility. Both have extreme long cords (8-9.5ft). On the other hand, the only problem with the UR20 is that they are big compared to the 201s... but if you don't mind the size and look and care more about the sound quality, then check your local Best Buy store and get the Koss UR20 instead. If you think these are too big, then I suggest the JVC flat foldings (over the ear) which are smaller and have better sound, bass output and better quality over the HD201S. Avoid these Sennheiser unless you only want a pair of headphones that look good, no matter the sound quality.

Good sound at inexpensive price point
I bought these for use with a computer monitor which doubles as a TV screen when combined with a Blu-Ray player or AppleTV via the HDMI in port. Since the monitor has no speakers, I purchased these to use while watching shows on that monitor. They are light, comfortable, and provide a reasonable sound quality for the price. Actually, the sound is better on these than on other more expensive pairs I auditioned while in the store. They also have a fairly long cord so I can move around better, as opposed to the standard 3-ish foot cord on most portable headphones.

Great headphones for the price
The Good: The price!, design, nice sound quality, comfortable fit both on the head and over the ears, lightweight, long cord, blocks out ambient noises. If you've bought cheap over the ear's before only to find they don't fit, these are for you. The sound quality is comarable to my old Koss UR29's, but those would always break on me after a few months from me lying down on them. (My fault, I know. Those UR29 have a weird design where the headband meets the phones.) I like these better so far. It's only been 1 month and these feel so much lighter on my head for 8-24hrs a day. The Not so Good: Cord is slightly too long for my tastes and tends to naturally twist up. No on-board volume control (UR29 has one). No real complaints, just nitpicks.
