HD 206 Stereo Headphone

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.

Very happy with the overall sound....good top end and bass not too boomy. Also bought the HD201 in the past which was also excellent! My only issue with both the HD201 and the HD206 headphones is the cable...it gets tangled and twisted very easily when stretched out which leads to areas being broken and copper exposed! My solution is to keep the majority of the cable folded and held together with the enclosed binding wire. I will watch with interest to see how long the cable will last...so far so good! However, I think the headphones are excellent and good value for the money and have not been put off by the issue! If Sennheiser was to improve the quality of the cable I would give it a Five Star revue.

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.

I have a very expensive pair of Sennheiser headphones but they're packed away and I can't get to them. Last week I bought a portable CD player which I'm pleased with. They came with earphones - the ones you pop into your ears and they are good but uncomfortable. I decided to get this inexpensive pair of Sennheisers which arrived today. Boy, are they good. I never expected great results from the price they cost but I'm delighted to report that they're brilliant. I have no hesitation in recommending them. And Amazon Prime is such a boon when you want something quickly. Great stuff, Amazon, and THANK YOU.

Sound a bit tinny, lightweight, quite flimsy unlikely they will last as long as my previous sennheiser headphones. But for the price not too bad, but time will tell.

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.

These had a nice quality sound to them but the build quality is very cheap , after a few months they stretched and became loose on my head and after that they started to short out in the cable after a while and damaged my sound card, they are now in the bin and I'm not happy... I would not advise getting these ( at all or ) for long term use..

ottime cuffie a costo basso medio la marca d'altronde e' una certezza e' la seconda volta che le compro a distanza di tanti anni purtroppo il cane mi ha mangiato il filo e le ha rovinate ,hanno un suono davvero bello soprattutto con i bassi e sono belle resistenti consigliatissime

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.
