Sennheiser HD 206 Stereo Headphone

These headphones are extremely comfortable and I am able to wear them for several hours at a time with no discomfort. The sound quality is, I find, quite adequate for someone who is hard of hearing. The only other slight niggles are: The wire is far too long at 3 Metres, and they feel rather cheap and plasticky. All in All, although cheap, they are a good buy. How long they last, only time will tell.

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.

Yeah really nice headphones. Comfortable and light

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.

"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.

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.

Very good sounding headphones but the headphone lead is to thin keep getting tangled up apart from the lead Sound is very good would recommend

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.

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

El sonido no es nada especial y el material es bastante plasticoso pero son cómodos y por calidad precio dudo que se encuentren cosas mucho mejores.

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.
