SennheiserHD 206 Stereo Headphone

Why did you choose this product over others?:I bought these to use while sleeping due to their slim profile, but was surprised by the sound quality. The deliver a clear sound in all ranges but I would guess they are balanced more toward the mid-high frequency range. More powerful than they appear, great value.

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.

They feel cheap but the audio is almost perfect.They have zero bass but I've been using them for my podcast and they are perfect for this use. They are light weight and they fit well enough.I thing the fact that they are mostly plastic is what makes them feel cheap but they have stood upto about 100 hours use so far and they still look like new and work perfect.

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!

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.

We get through 2-3 pairs of headsets a year. I always buy Neewer but this time due to costs we bought the Sennheiser HD 206.Never Again!They are thin, weedy and feel like they will break soon. Absolutely terrible quality.Sound quality is ok but not Sennheiser qualityThe worst of all is the cable. I think its made of the cheapest wire you can get and always in the way.You get what you pay for and Im paying for it…

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

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