Reviews around job (4.67 of 5)

  • These headphones do a great job of blocking outside noise
  • They also do a pretty good job of blocking out external noise
  • The headphones do a very good job of blocking outside noise so you won't hear anything except the headphones
  • In the small classroom where I work, five other students are often talking or using relatively noisy hand tools; I find that the 202s do an excellent job attenuating the noise and let me focus on the work in front of me.
  • These headphones have excellent sound quality, and do a good job of eliminating outside noise, considering how inexpensive they are.

Reviews around value (4.58 of 5)

  • The sound is very good, and for the price they are a great value.
  • Delivers good sound quality and an overall great value.
  • Awesome headphones with a loo...ng chord - a great benefit over others where u always have to take care that ur chord doesn't get ripped off its joint
  • The 201's were great value and really punched above their weight for an entry-level set of phones, but for a few extra dollars these are worth the small upgrade
  • I would recommend these to anyone looking for great sound and good value!!

Reviews around deal (4.57 of 5)

  • But these are the best damn deal in headphones I've ever seen
  • This isn't a big deal unless you spend hours at a time listening, but due to the closed, fairly tight seal, these may irritate you after prolonged listening, especially if you wear glasses like me
  • i love the brand.. i love these headphones... and for the price, they ARE a good deal
  • The only thing that annoys me (as with the 201s) is the very long cord
  • The ear cups are too small and the fit is tight, so your ears start hurting as they are being mashed against your head.

Reviews around star (2.88 of 5)

  • All in all I would recommend these headphones as they sound great and they're very affordable for some headphones of this quality.
  • I tend to be a tough critic, but these headphones get a well-deserved five stars from me, and I would definitely recommend them.
  • The ear cups are also kind of small so these barely qualify as "over the ear" headphones
  • The only reason I'm rating these 3 stars is that they hurt my ears
  • I am using it with my iPod and the sound is really good, it may not be as good as in a $200 pair of headphones but it is still quite pleasant to be in a bubble when you are listening to your music

  • The ear cups are also kind of small so these barely qualify as "over the ear" headphones
  • I am using it with my iPod and the sound is really good, it may not be as good as in a $200 pair of headphones but it is still quite pleasant to be in a bubble when you are listening to your music
  • Pros: Sound, price, comfort, look, long cord, belt clip attachmentCons: Still cheap plastic (I mean for the price it's decent), long cord sometimes a bit of a pain to wind and unwind on attachment.
  • The are made of good quality plastic and pleather, and seem to be relatively durable, provided you don't treat them too badly
  • It looked like it had cheap plastic, and would break if bent.

Reviews around noise isolation (2.57 of 5)

  • Pros - very good sound quality, really long chord, good noise isolation
  • The price (less than US25) is very good for what you get: famous Sennheiser sound quality, balanced frequencies and good noise isolation
  • I am using it with my iPod and the sound is really good, it may not be as good as in a $200 pair of headphones but it is still quite pleasant to be in a bubble when you are listening to your music
  • These sound good, have good noise isolation, and are really comfortable, I'd be happy with this performance in headphones at twice this price.
  • The noise isolation is good, however, they don't block out excessive noise and would not be recommended for airplane travel, etc

Reviews around ear (2.50 of 5)

  • they were very comfortable and didn't hurt my ears at all

Reviews around earbuds (2.36 of 5)

Reviews around wire (1.50 of 5)

  • I've only had it nine months and the cheap wire has frayed insulation, and the ear piece tends to fall off.
  • Would be nice if there was a way to shorten the lead wire.
  • They have used very fine, cheap wire enclosed in thin, cheap fabric with no reinforcement, at the points that most need to be strong
  • Likely loose wire connections (sometimes jiggling the wires fixes the sound temporarily).
  • I have treated the headphones gently, so this should not happen and it wouldn't if they had used decent gauge wire and reinforcement where the wires join to the headphones

  • This can either be good (if you are in a noisy environment) or bad (if your family or co-workers want to communicate with you).

  • The sound quality is much better in a quiet environment than in a noisy one since, yes, some noise gets through.
