Title: Doesn't live up to Senn's name
Product review: The HD201 rests on the lowest rung of Sennheiser's product line - inexpensive closed headphones with a cheap plastic design and a sound that lags behind its competition in this price range. The sound has surprisng range, but the trebles can be irritating, with a hollowness that can't be overcome by any combination of music and volume. The pads are passably comfortable, and of course, they're composed of an inexpensive leatherette.Most listeners seem to prefer the Koss KSC35 or 75, but many headphone designers have products that surpass these. But these do have one thing going for them - name recognition - and that (with its price) might enough for them to push a few extra units. But if you're expecting a miracle from these headphones, it's probably best to look for your sonic miracles elseware.
