Sennheiser Hd 201 Circumaural Closed Headphone Reviews

I thought the Sennheiser HD 201 was good until I bought this. I guess the grass is greener on the other side, much greener.

The Sennhiser HD 280 Pro headphone are a great flat frequency response and sensitive response headphone great for recording and mixing. They are closed back and have a good sound isolation. But being closed back they are uncomfortable after a while (sweaty ears).

It is a great headphone case. B&H displays it at the bottom of the Sennheiser HD 800 listing, which at least suggests the HD 800 would fit in it. It is not even close. The HD 800 heaphones do not fit in this case.

Upon receiving my PK-201, I immediately tested it with videos taken by my cellphone as well as various pictures. It was about 12:00pm and it was a sunny day. Despite this, the image and video quality is more than visible inside my room. That night, I put it to better test by connecting my MacBook Pro to its multi-to-15pin cable. I played Finding Nemo and that is when I really started to love this item! The colors are wonderful! It was actually way better and clearer than a budget 32 LCD TV we have. I had it project up to approximately more than 96. The next Friday, we watched Avatar - on a free wall roughly projecting more than 100-120. I admit a brighter LED/bulb would've been better but the PK-201's performance is unbelievable! It wasn't too dark/dim - we managed to finish this long movie enjoying every single detail of it! Before buying this, I thought the good reviews were too good to be true. However, after testing and using it myself, I realized the reviews were actually very much understated. If anyone would be impressed by how good the projected image is, trying to find where it is coming from will make you want to give it more stars than any review site would allow.

For an inexpensive closed back headphone this can't be beat. I use it when my normal selection of open cans will disturb the rest of the house. They need the aftermarket lamb skin pads, I am sure that will improve both comfort and sound over the vinly pads. Really like the modular cables it comes supplied with too.

Wow what a good sound and the attention to detail on these hp's is very good, just got them I've been looking for a really good closed back headphone and to my ears these are the best sounding, the level of quality, tonal balance and transparency of these hp's are second to none. They come with a new cable not that old Audeze ribbon type cable, and this new cable is much more attractive. Also the headband has changed these are weighty hp's for sure but very balanced. The sq of these hp's are something you really need to hear simply amazing sounding, I'm very pleased with this purchase and feel the LCD-XC's are a must have for anyone who enjoys their music..enjoy

For the pricepoint, the audio quality and depth in a closed back headphone is absolutely impressive, and when combining that with the solid build quality I genuinely cannot recommend these enough.

Amazing closed back headphone. The leather is very good quality and smells amazing. The build quality is top notch. The most comfortable pair I own. Although MDR-Z1R tends to be a bit genre specific (leaning towards dance, hiphop, and electronic music), it is a great overall performer. It's a little recessed in the mids and +12k for rock and roll, but it is just a such a great chill headphone. A lot of genres sound very good. Bass is so tight and has authority. Nothing is muddy, just really relaxed.

Although closed with the advantage of no leakage these phones sound just like an open headphone. Clear, airy but with the plus of a deep solid bass. Wonderfully comfortable. A true premium product.
