Review: For the price, excellent! - Sennheiser are well known for producing quality headphones. These are pretty cheap, but are very very good for 50 quid. And very popular. Bit tight round the head, but they do loosen up after a while. Rotatable earcup is very very nice for djing.....good volume too, but if you're playing on a big PA at hi volume....you might have to turn them up to the point where your hearing starts to get damaged. Be careful, or your career won't last long! I guess the same can be said for most hi-volume club environments though. The cable pissed me off, 2 metres long and really thin....had to keep tidying it out of the way, and even a misplaced chair leg will cut it in half if it's trailing on the floor. Many, many times I wished for a short, good quality coiled cable, like some of Senn's more expensive models....definitely a negative point there. So, I bought these in Jan 2012.....and here I am in July 2013, and I can't find them.....they're around somewhere, with a non-functioning right earcup. Something to do with a loose connection, because whenever I swivelled the right cup, the sound would cut out... Apart from them only lasting a year, I still give them good marks. They were treated badly, being used for 8 hours at a time at many house parties, playing very bass heavy techno, house and other electronica. I spent months in my studio using them as reference cans in Ableton Live, used them in college for sound engineering, used them on the move for my iPod.....I used them everywhere! They were sat on, chewed, crammed into backpacks and treated with very little respect....and still lasted 12 months! After a while they get very loose and creaky,and definitely lose their solidity. Still fits on the head nicely, after a month or two of 'wearing in'. I loved these headphones, because they're so cheap....and in my opinion, they equal Dre Beats, which are at least three times the price. Don't believe the hype about Beats.....you can be a hipster if you want, walking around looking all trendy....but for those of us with some sense.....we know that you can spend the same or less money on something far superior....These HD 205's can really take the fight to much more expensive models. So......these cans are not world class, they are more 'jack of all trades', all rounders on a budget. If you want to step up a notch especially for d'ing, then perhaps consider the HD25'S, extremely good monitoring phones! Recommended, and for the price, are you really going to have many regrets? I Review: The Best Headphones So Far - Over many years, I've been a fan of finding the right headphones. A product that was comfortable for a long period of time, incredibly clear sound, great design, deep base, single corded (just more convenient) and most importantly a reasonable price. These headphones fit this description perfectly. It's been a while since I bought these headphones, but i'm sure they were slightly cheaper (around Β£35 I think). It doesn't surprise me though that a perfectly good pair of headphones will raise there price if they are well received. Personally I would be reluctant in buying these headphones for the price they are at now, but that's only because I didn't know what to expect. If I knew then what I do now, I wouldn't hesitate purchasing these brilliant headphones. These headphones have a crystal clear sound that suits any type of music and movie, especially with deep base songs. The often problem of having headphones that cover your ears, to me, can be that they move around too much if you're running or just in general feel a bit loose. These headphones really clamp onto your ears with a great amount of comfort, and when I say clamp I mean it's really hard to shake them off. They come with a nice 3m cord, which is always useful for home entertainment use and occasionally a bit awkward if walking around with them, but rapping it up with an elastic band makes it much more portable. A big part of the sale for me was and usually is the design of whatever I'm buying, and these look slick, cool and very different from a lot of other headphones. Again, these are suitable for hours of use, without your head or ears getting soar. A truly highly recommended set of headphones. ## Features - Perfect for DJ or studio use in look, sound and quality with rotatable ear cup; will be enjoyed by anyone with a passion for great music - Close-fitting and compact for outstanding shielding of ambient noise - Smooth audio reproduction with deep bass for easy listening - Tough and rugged construction for use on the road and outdoors - Includes protective soft storage pouch for safe transport and storage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003LPTAZ2 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Recording | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Box Contents | Cable, Protective Case | | Brand | Sennheiser | | Brand Name | Sennheiser | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Music Production Equipment | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,085 Reviews | | Ear placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Round | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Form factor | Over Ear | | Frequency Range | 20Hz - 20,000Hz | | Headphone Form Factor | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 32 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 1.05 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Sennheiser | | Model Name | 504292 | | Model Number | 504292 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Noise Control | Passive Noise Cancellation | | Noise control | Passive Noise Cancellation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Noise Cancellation | | Specific Uses For Product | DJ, Studio | | Style Name | Closed-Back | | Subject Character | no character | | Theme | Music | | UPC | 658700901020 777060002571 887490432791 615104187559 615104185784 | | Unit Count | 1.00 count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sennheiser - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** Wired - **Ear placement:** Over Ear - **Form factor:** Over Ear - **Headphone jack:** 3.5 mm Jack - **Impedance:** 32 Ohms - **Included components:** Cable, Protective Case - **Model name:** 504292 - **Noise control:** Passive Noise Cancellation ## Images ![Sennheiser HD 205 II Closed Back Around-ear Stereo Headphone With Rotatable Ear Cup - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fADjf5sbL.jpg) ![Sennheiser HD 205 II Closed Back Around-ear Stereo Headphone With Rotatable Ear Cup - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wt348LYfL.jpg) ![Sennheiser HD 205 II Closed Back Around-ear Stereo Headphone With Rotatable Ear Cup - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51a0a6RWGAL.jpg) ![Sennheiser HD 205 II Closed Back Around-ear Stereo Headphone With Rotatable Ear Cup - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Nki1UG9GL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how long is the lead ?** A: Absolutely massive. Its probably about 3 metres. I use the little tie thing that comes wrapped around it to shorten it a bit. **Q: I wish to order a Sennheiser HD205 headphones but I need to know if it has a jack attached to it that plugs into the desktop computer tower ple** A: My wife bought it for me to use during my long and continuous stay in hospital. It has long lead and plug which plugs into my laptop/DVD player in hospital, but I have not had the opportunity to try it on my home computer tower. Sorry! **Q: Hey you guys buying phones without any specs. what are the specs of this headphone - no specs no buy ......** A: Product FeaturesType of headphone Ear-clipWireless or wired WiredStereo or Surround sound StereoCord Length (mm) 3000Weight (g) 206Battery life (Hours) 0Impedance (Ohms) 32Release date 2005-11-25Also known as: SENNHEISER HD205, Sennheiser HD 205; **Q: hey guys, i'm upgrading from the Senn hd 202, can anyone suggest me about the bass of this headphone senn hd 205 ??** A: These headphones are really only suitable for DJs. The sound is horrible. They ludicrously over-emphasize the bass and make all music sound like you're hearing it while walking past a nightclub. I'm NOT joking! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the price, excellent! *by S***0 on 27 July 2013* Sennheiser are well known for producing quality headphones.

In this time i have looked at a lot of different pairs but always ended up seeing great reviews for sennheiser products so i decided to check them out. I ended up narrowing it down to this pair, the 202s and the 201s. After looking at reviews for them all i decided to just go for these with the theory that they are more expensive so must be better (the carry case was also quite a plus point!). I havent compared these to the other pairs so i have no idea if these are actually better. I think reading so many reviews for these kind of set my expectations way too high! Dont get me wrong, they are quality headphones and easily compare to other expensive headphones that ive tried in shops in the past. I wanted a lot of bass to come with these headphones. (im 23 and though i do listen to quite a lot of rock, i probably listen to more electronic stuff). Id say they do pretty well with the bass, there probably could be a bit more and the cost of clarity but i feel as though they have a nice balance. I did find with some rock and metal music they didnt sound quite as good, but they are 'DJ' headphones so i guess they are probably more aimed at electronic and dance music (Which they do very well!) The main gripe that a lot of people seem to mention about these is that they are uncomfy. I was expecting to dodge this bullet as i have quite a small oval type noggin, but no, they are really tight. This is the only reason to not give them 5 stars. Overall, the sound quality is excellent for Β£35, if i wanted to splash the cash id probably get a pair of bose cans, but for Β£35 these do the job REALLY well. The case is a really nice bonus and makes you feel like you own a more expensive pair of headphones. The cable is really long, but using the same plastic wrappy thing that came with the headphones, i just tied it around some of the wiring to keep it a bit shorter as they only really have to go from my face to the side of this laptop (about 30cm distance). They are uncomfy, but if you want this sound quality and comfy headphones then you are going to be spending a bit more. For Β£35 you're really going to get either comfort or quality with most headphones.
