Sennheiser HD 206 Stereo Headphone

I had Sennheiser headphones since the 70's and they always were top of the range. I was looking for simple, cheap headphones and stumbled over these. My use would be for HAM Radio. They arrived and I got a lovely surprise: they sound well above their price point, in fact they are excellent even for classical music. Ok, they are made entirely from light plastik, making them super light. They are very comfortable thanks to the very good and comfy padding. Overall headphones you can easily wear for hours! You get a very nice set from a real brand with excellent reputation for little money! Recommended!

Good sound, but every move of the head or touch of the headphones or cable is transmitted to the ears, due to the cheap plastic construction. Price good and sound clear of you don't move your head too much.

I am not an expert in headphones etc but I was looking for a set that would give me clarity and deeper sound quality like my NAIM Cube speaker which I love. I bought Bose Sports Noise Cancelling in ear buds, based on reviews, and returned them immediately after 1 hour ... I disliked their bulkiness and they sounded a bit "tinny". I did some research and found that music studios use Sennheiser (never heard of them before) so I ordered the in ear Sennheiser which were okkkk but found that they worked better for me wearing them upside down and only then the ear buds didn't continuously fall out and the sound was better. However, I still wasn't getting that deeper base sound that I craved. Based on reviews i.e. build quality etc I decided to chance my luck (wasn't still sure based on the price) with the HD 206 and instantly I knew I had found what I had been looking for. Plus point being that they are also really comfortable especially when you fall asleep with them still wrapped around your head and they are quite robust. However, being a bit bulky, I use my in ear Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 In Ear Bluetooth when I am out and about. As for the sound, although they provide good base, it can sound a little muffled but way better than the in ear phones. And the best bit .....the price. I never expected to get this sound quality for this price. It's assumed the more you pay the better but not in this case. I bought another set of over the ear Sennheiser but they were not on par with the HD 206's so back they went. I have ended my search altogether and now just use these.

My first pair of Sennheiser headphones lasted over twenty years. They were great quality sound. I loved them. Eventually the wires entering the cans broke with years of use. Gluetac worked for a while, but when the other side went, stickytape didn't work. Anyway I figured it was time to treat myself to a new pair. I went for the closest contemporaries from Sennheiser I could find (wired, because bluetooth introduces latency when recording) I got the HD206 (previous were HD202). The new ones are same good value, same good sound. Thanks you Sennheiser. Comfort is down because they're new and a bit tight for prolonged use. I'm sure that will improve. But they do isolate out the external sounds better than the 202's did. They were delivered in a couple of days - much faster than I expected. Absolutely no complaints, and nice to see Amazon easing off on the packaging.

"Sennheiser for under £30?! Preposterous! There's no way these are any good" was the first thought to flash through my mind when I spotted this pair of headphones, and by the Gods, I was... quite correct, actually. I bought this pair to replace a not much more expensive but a lot more broken pair of studio headphones. Usecase is music production and playing bass without bothering the neighbours. Let's get the most important thing out of the way first - sound quality. The blurb on the box reads "accurate bass response". As a bassist I can tell you that is not the case. The low end on these is so weak it might as well not exist. There's a big bump in the mids, and the highs sound shrill & brittle. Listening to a mix that sounds fine on everything else gives me an earache on these. Human voices come through nice and clear, everything else seems to fall in the background. That said, if your usecase is music production / mixing & mastering, it's worth keeping these around as a "worst case scenario" reference - if you can make a track sound good on these, you can pat yourself firmly on the back. Build quality is what you'd expect for £26 - it's plastic, a whole lot of it. The entire device feels like it's about to crumble if you squeeze it hard enough. It's fine for home use (as long as you don't put them down too fast), but absolutely not fit for travelling. Where these headphones claw back a few points is comfort. Being a serial wearer of spectacles (by necessity, not by choice) the unfortunate fact is that a lot of headphones are not very comfortable to wear for any longer than 20-30 minutes. These guys are light - an upside of the All-Plastic(tm) construction - and aren't very tight either, which is not good for sound quality but it does mean wearing them with glasses for an extended period of time won't cause all too much pain if any at all. Overall, if you're looking to use these in a studio setting, avoid at all costs! If you're a casual user, looking to listen to audiobooks, do a bit of voice/video chatting (get a mic though, these don't have one) or just need something to plug into your speakers when everyone else is sleeping and don't care much for the experience, it's an OK choice, but don't expect to be blown away and most definitely don't be fooled by the Sennheiser logo - there's way better options for just a handful of GBPs more. You get what you pay for, really.

I have bought a lot of new headphones, a lot of them sound muddy. I keep buying these. They are nice & clear sounding

Headphones are comfortable and have good sound quality. They are a good buy at the price.

J avais deja achete le jbl 500 mais il m en fallait un 2eme,simple et toujours filaire.je suis ravi de ce choix. Les graves n etant pas amplifiees, le son est plus naturel et d excellente qualite.bonne sensibilite, puissant. Aussi bien qu un modele plus cher.simple donc fiable.fil plus long que le jbl donc aisance dans les mouvements.bon ŕendu dans toute la gamme de frequence avec une bonne separation des instruments.clarte de la voix.agreable a porter car plus de place pour la tete.je ne regrette pas cet achat surtout pour le rapport qualite prix...

Headphones exceed pricepoint. Got it while it was on sale, and its great for listening to music, watching videos, etc. The wire is really long, though that can get in the way, it won't pull on you if you have to get up briefly. I can wear them for long hours, and I wear glasses which is great as well. The headphones fit comfortably over my ears and don't clamp down on my head. Sound depth is lacking however, so don't expect great bass or trebles.

Als Ersatz für meinen defekten Kopfhörer habe ich mir diesen Sennheiser gekauft. Ich mache Radio und brauche lediglich während des Aufsprechen und dem nachträglichen Bearbeiten Kopfhörer. Zum Hören von Musik wäre meine Kaufentscheidung sehr wahrscheinlich etwas anders ausgefallen. Und jetzt kommt das Aber: Musik, und da kommt es auf die Qualität der Quelle an, kommt auch mit diesem Sennheiser sehr sauber rüber. Also Dateien in Wave-Format oder hoher mp3 Auflösung. Bin absolut zufrieden und begeistert, denn auch wenn die Höhen bei 18 kHz enden, so bemerke ich nicht wirklich einen Unterschied. Außengeräusche werden minimiert, die Ohrpolster umschließen sauber meine Ohren (normale Kopfform, normale Ohren...). Auch längeres Tragen ist aufgrund des geringen Gewichts angenehm. Fazit: klare Kaufentscheidung zum kleinen Preis.

llevo en el mundo del audio muchos años y esta marca siempre es de fiar. si, es un modelo bajo.. y no se debe usar para equipos de sonido potentes... pero para el uso diario, ver la tele, ordenador y demas, son de lo mejor. tienen mejor calidad y frecuencias de sonidos, mejores que muchos que valen el doble.. y el hecho de que apenas estan fuera de stock lo dice todo.

Puede que para ser solo audifonos sean un poco costosos, por lo que se tiene que estar seguro el uso que se dara, por el costo no se deben esperar materiales premium, compararlos con los de un valor de $3k a $4k no es congruente, pero tampoco es que sean de mala calidad, tienen un buen nivel de volumen aunque no son para ser usados por cualquier dispositivo, se requiere que la PC o celular tengan un buen amplificador de sonido de lo contrario se escucharan con poco bajo de volumen por lo que su uso es mejor con equipos dedicados solo a la reproduccion de audio por lo mismo es que su cable es lo suficientemente largo, pero no confundir no son para estudio ya que por el costo no se aproximan a esa calidad de audio si fuera el caso mejor opten por equipos diseñados para esa funcion, sorprende lo ligeros que son y comodos con buen aislamiento no el mejor pero muy aceptable, tengo unos Marshall Major III y si bien en audio y aislamiento se quedan muy por debajo, mundos diferentes, pero en comodidad execelentes y para uso de diario me ban mucho mejor. En resumen son de batalla, muy comodos y ligeros, buen audio y volumen conectando al equipo adecuado, para un uso de oficina van bien pero en verdad no son audifonos para ser usados por cualquiera.
