SennheiserHD 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!

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.

I had a pair of the older model of these headphones that lasted well until the cables broke after many years of abuse. I bought these as a good value replacement and they are as good as before, lightweight, fit well and very easy to use, and I appreciate that the cable is long. The sound is acceptable for use in live music performance although could be a bit louder.

Extremely comfortable very pleased with purchase sound OK, like other people have commented the lead is a very good length

I bought a pair for myself and another pair for my daughter, neither pair lasted more than a few months before one side stopped working.Yes, they are cheap. Yes, they are junk.

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.

Replaced old pair of Sennheiser with newer model , fantastic performance, no hesitation in giving five stars, cannot see the point in spending more money.

These headphones are amazing! I was out with my friend Luke Campbell, just having a few drinks just before one of his matches. The noise cancellation is amazing, I had no idea that he pulled a little girls’ hair until I read the paper the following week.
