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!

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

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.

Fit comfortably. Not to weighty. Good quality. Clarity is good for the cost. The function well as earphones.

"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.

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.

I've used this brand for over 20 yrs and was so looking forward to trying a new set.Out of the box they feel VERY cheap. Like they weren't even trying to go for quality. After listening to one track, I hit the amazon return button.VERY Very disappointing. I was expecting WAY more from Sennheiser.

These are excellent headphones with a full dynamic range. They are great value for money. Being wired means that you don't need to plug in a separate cable if you are connecting them to sound equipment. I have bought two. Yes, they are a bit plasticky and light, but are surprisingly durable and comfortable.
