 Show 1.0 out of 5 stars I wasted my money. Don't waste yours. I originally liked these enough I bought a total of four. Three have broken apart (meaning that one ear muff is no longer connected to the rest of the head phones).The covering on the last one is now completely flaking off. I am not hard on my things. I am pretty gentle with everything I buy but these are not worth my money. I will never buy another set. Reviews with imagesTop reviews from the United StatesThere was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2013 For people wondering about the HD 201's vs 202's, I bought these for myself and got the 201's for my sis, we literally compared them back to back, same songs etc so if you're curious you can read this. HD 202's Pros Good volume(201's were a bit more low), but can get kinda obnoxious, I'll get into that soon, but the volume on these are fine with music games and media, slightly unlike the 201's but at the same time was kinda too much... Barely any leakage, since the volume is a bit above average and the headphones fit sturdyier onto your head the sound is concentrated more, so not much sound gets out, even when a little high volume. The 201's are more loose on the head, so they let out more noise. Good highs, and deep, focused sound, so I never really needed them too loud. Cons If youre using a MP3 player/Ipod or something it might not have enough power in it to power these, so some songs you can hear a feint static in the music if they are 320bit or FLAC's or something, and I even switched it between the 201's and these, and a entire track was heard alot more on the song on the 201's rather than the 202's cause my Vita/Iphone couldn't power the 202's I guess. Normal bitrate songs didn't do this however, but on the PC or like a tablet or something it'll be fine. If you use a Equalizer and boost the sound, the highs sometimes you can override it a bit, so it'll make your ears feel foggy and it gives a tedious feeling to your eardrums, like how you feel when you take off on a plane with all the extra stuff added (if you tweak it too much maybe?), but I found out this was for all good headphones, even my old USB ones. Though the 201's were a bit more accepting to Equalizing it. They are a bit tight, this is probably the only real Con, after about 45+ mins my ears get kinda sore, not major sore, thats only after about 3 hours but it is tight. And will leave your ears sore afterwards if you have them on for a long time, though I just take mines and kinda stretch them outwards then put them on, and it isn't tight anymore, ha (I wouldn't recommend that for future length, but it works lol) So overall they are good and tbh the cons only come around sometimes, like the too loud, that really isnt a con I just get kinda lazy and dont wanna keep turning down my HQ songs. And as for the Ipod part I dont really use it for that, I only use the laptop so... And when I use them on the go about 10% of my songs even do the static out thing. But the main con would probably be the tightness. HD 201's More clarity, listening to these compared to my 202's I notice that the 201's sound alot clearer with some songs, especially like Pop music or instrumentals, the 202's brought out the bass more and my sis liked mines better for that, but the 202's lack the full clear sound the 201's will give you, sound more like.. a Orchestra of 200 people, 20 would be left out on the 202's while all can be heard on the 201's. (I noticed this listening to the Overworld theme from FInal Fantasy 8, I could heart the trumpets etc more with the 201's and certain other genres you cna hear vocals better) More balanced volume, didn't need to really jump up and down the volume with the 201's since they are lower volume than the 202's, this is also a con though, will get into that. But the volume is more balanced and the instruments all seem a bit more 'equal' with the 201's, I personally like my higher highs and bass of the 202's and so does my sis, but again I like the 201's more with the balance and instrumental music. Much easier on the head than the 202's, some people say these dont hurt at ALL that's not true, my ears still feel a LITTLE tingle with these on after about a hour, but its barely painful like the 202's after about a hour ,I get used to it but they do stay kinda sore.. the 201's are more light and cup over than ears rather than sit ontop like the 202's. Cons Lower volume , on the Ipod's or tablets the volume on the 201's 80% was equal to the 202's 40-50%, and if you have low volume songs, they wont get loud at all on the 201's (But who still has LQ music nowadays :P), also they are lower in general, I said I didnt have to mess with the volume much on these but that was because they are lower in general so it evens out, when Im watching movies etc sometimes these aren't really that loud when it comes to people talking etc. I couldn't really hear what Brad Pitt was saying about the rules of Fight Club. Besides don't tal- More leakage, these leak more than the 202's , maybe because they aren't as tight? But when my sis has her music up I can hear it about 6-10 feet away while my 202's don't leak much at all, it's some there if you have them bumping, like any headphones, but since the 202's pump out alot higher and they are a bit more focused(smaller cups) and are tighter, you don't even need them as loud as the 201's like I said above, so you wouldn't have them up that high to even begin with. Much less bass than the 202's, the 201's have the clarity and balance but the bass just isn't there like how they are with the 202's, when I try to use these right after a session on my 202's my ears feel neglected for the lack of bass, lol (Though my ears get a break... tight 202's and no I don't have a big Dumbo head :P) But these are great and I like them (HD 202's), my sis's (HD 201's) are a bit lower in volume on portable devices, but doesn't matter on the PC and hers dont have the bass mines have. But her Pros are that you dont get that too loud sometimes or slight feint static with HQ songs on portable devices and hers have higher clarity, like you can hear instruments etc more, but is missing the bass mines have. Oh, and hers arent tight, they fit fine. Oh yeah and these come with a reeeaaallllyyy long cord, the HD 202's come with a cord winder though, the 201's don't, but my sis keeps hers tied like how they were when they came, I mean it' a helleva alot of cord, both of them, I sometimes accidentally roll over the cord at my PC desk and have even tripped over it a few times. The 202's have a cord winder that you wind the cord up on and clip it it to you, the 201's don't, but my sis just ties it up and puts it in her pocket when shes out. People do give me looks when I have all that cord wrapped around me when I don't wind it up, lmao Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2012 If you're looking for a short review, keep scrolling. I recently ordered the Sennheiser HD 202 II Pro, Panasonic RP-HTF600-S, MEElectronics HT-21, Monoprice Premium Hi-Fi DJ Style Over-the-Ear Pro, Sony MDRZX200 Outdoor & the Sennheiser HD 201 Lightweight headphones, and just for kicks the Monoprice Enhanced Bass HiFi Earphones. The headphones are all in the $18-$30 range. But first, a little about myself. I'm a college student and received the Bose AE2's for Christmas last year. I tested all these headphones on both my MacBookPro & iPhone 5 (I also did some tests with the new Apple EarPods). All numbers are on a 1 to 5 scale, 5 being the best. First up was unboxing all the headphones. The hardest to get open were the Sennheisers HD 202's {1} due to it's clamshell plastic packaging, but surprisingly the HD 201's {5} were simple to open and came in a simple cardboard box. The Monoprice HiFi DJ headphones were like the 201's, they came in a simple box with a very classy inside {5}. The Ht-21's were nicely packaged and moderately easy to get out {3.5}. The Sony's came with it's plastic front glued to a thin cardboard backing, I wasn't impressed but it got the job done and was moderately easy to open but a pain to package back up {2.5}. Finally the Panasonics came in very nice packaing (clear plastic box) that was easy to open up {4.5}. The Monoprice Earphones came in a plastic bag with no labeling and a simple twist tie, not a good sign. To get the earbuds out of the way, simply put, they were terrible. I was expecting a little more after Monoprice had gotten rave reviews on the OverTheEar headphones. The cord seemed like high quality and the design of the buds seemed nice and practical but the headphone casing felt plasticy. The sound quality was not only below Apple's free new EarPods but below their second-generation as well. Quickly packaged it up for return to Amazon. {Rating: 1} Next to go back in the box was the HT-21's. Once again, even the free Earpods beet the sound quality. The headphones were of pretty cheap build. It's nice that they fold up, but what's it matter if they have crappy sound quality. I was some what surprised because they were one of the more expensive of the bunch. {Rating: 2} The HD 202's were next to be returned. I couldn't get a comfortable fit on my ear. Part of the headphones sat on my ear and another covered it. The plastic curved band also seemed cheap. Finally the advertised bass was no where to be found. Sound quality was moderate, but nothing to write home about. {Rating: 3} It's really hard for me to put the HD 201's above or below the Sony's. I was
pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the Sony's but vocals weren't as distinct as I'd hoped. The 201's were well balanced but sounded a tad hollow. I would still recommend these models as they are only $18 & $22. Which one? Well it depends if you're looking for around ear over on ear. I personally am a fan of around ear, but that's up to you. {Both get a rating of 4} And then there was one: The Panasonic RP-HTF600 went up against the headphones I'd been using for almost a year: the Bose AE2. I wasn't expecting much out of the Panasonic's, I was really expecting the Sennheiser's to take the lead, or the monoprice's after reading reviews. But the Panasonic's were the last one standing. The headphones had impressive sound, well balanced with a hint of bass. However their strong suit was the illusion of space. The sound seemed to have incredible depth and had a hint of reverb. Vocals were well mixed with the rest of the music. But sadly I decided to return them all. The Panasonics gave my Bose AE2's a good run for their money. The sound depth was attractive, but after all there is a $120 price difference between the two models. Had I known about the the RP-HTF600's, I probably would have gone for them over the Bose. However the Bose's comfort is impossible to match, it's easy forget you're wearing them they're so comfortable and light. Although the resonance in the Panasonic's are a nice leg up on the Bose, it's not worth $30. I wasn't looking for another pair of headphones, I was looking for a better pair. Perhaps I was asking for too much by looking in the $30 range for a pair better than a $150 set, but I was not disappointed by the Panasonic's. They were in no way uncomfortable, they just can't top the Bose. I'd give the RP-HTF600's a 5 on my rating scale and the Bose AE2's a 5.5 Top reviews from other countries4.0 out of 5 stars Good but I wish I could say great! Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 14, 2017 These were my first (and so far only) Sennheiser headphones and given the brand's reputation, I was expecting to be blown away. They are by no means bad - the sound is very clear and well differentiated, something that swayed me into buying them. After more than half a year of using them, though, I've often caught myself turning the volume up more than I've ever done with headphones (and that's considering these started out pretty quiet by default, always needing the volume up more than my laptop or phone speakers). There is a slightly veiled quality to the sound that's become more apparent as time went on - it's almost as if, rather than the supposed "burn in" period, these headphones are having a burn-out! It feels as if they're getting flatter, quieter, and less dynamic over time. Another contributing factor might be that the bass isn't particularly pronounced. Personally I don't need bass to be so loud as to override all the rest of the music, so I thought initially this wouldn't be a problem. After a while it may just be one of the reasons I keep turning the volume up as if there's something missing - the bass, that's what! I'm still giving these 4 stars because the sound quality is good - none of the above disadvantages were apparent to me at first, except maybe that these headphones were a bit quiet. After plugging in my old beaten-up Philips set while on holiday, though, the difference became audible all of a sudden. Particularly on a gaming laptop with a better than average sound card, the Sennheisers SHOULD be blowing me away. I'm not sure whether the performance has started degrading bit by tiny bit over time or if it just took me a while to notice how subdued the sound was, but either way that's the reason why I'm only rating these as good, not great. Overall still a good, comfortable-to-wear product with nicely accurate sound quality. Preferences are subjective and someone else might well find this the perfect sound for them - but if you're into dynamism and like a certain "punch" to your music and media, these aren't the best choice. It's back to the headphone hunt for me! 3.0 out of 5 stars Sound fine; materials not so good Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 3, 2022 I mostly use headphones for TV or audiobooks, and the sound quality of these headphones is very good for that. I'm not an expert on sound quality for music, but they suit my purposes for that as well, and when I want white noise, such as rain sounds, they've proved ideal and cosy. They're also extremely comfortable. However - and this is a big however - I'm going to have to ditch these long before they stop making a good sound, because the smooth covering over the earphone cushions has fractured and peeled away, leaving the foam exposed, and the foam makes me itch. I see from other reviewers that I'm not alone in discovering this fault with the materials. *sigh Yet more plastic into landfill before its time. A minor discontentment is that I've discovered it's a bit annoying having wired headphones - even when the wire is beautifully long, as in this set - so I'll be replacing these with a bluetooth set. 4.0 out of 5 stars Best Budget Headphones Ever Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 19, 2016 Pros KEY POINT: The sound in my opinion is the best, most balanced, most natural sound you can get for this £20 to £30 price range. Cons The Bass is a little weak and it misses some of the very low tones. Conclusion Overall I would say MUST BUY if you want something around £30 for home or office use. Don't
settle with anything cheaper. 4.0 out of 5 stars Best Budget Headphones

Don't settle with anything cheaper. 5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely recommend 5* Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 19, 2017 These are my absolute faves- onto second pair now. The bad points are that they’re not great for noise cancelling, they’re not ‘great’ for big bass sounds and they don’t fold. HOWEVER, I use them for travelling with work and they’re used pretty much daily and I love them. I use them for watching films and music videos as well as playing music. They’re perfectly clear and loud enough and I can still hear well on planes and trains. They’re very comfortable, my ears fit completely inside them so no pressure aches even when they’re on my head for 6/7 hours. My previous pair broke which I put down to them not being foldable but I didn’t hesitate to replace with the exact same. 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value For Money Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 19, 2021 Lots of people are excited about more expensive brands unnecessarily (I've yet to speak to a Beats customer who hasn't reported it breaking all too easily or other issues for example), simply due to product placement in film, tv, or some celeb. For myself i've keen on value for money (not cheapness, nor over-priced premium level) items generally across all purchasing items, and this Sennheiser product is very good for the price, and even taking into account more expensive rivals, it can rival those surprisingly well. I also have a more expensive, greater performing set of headphones (also Sennheiser), and in total they were less than £80. This set are my regular, or heavy use pair including when travelling about when I don't want to risk my nice set in the rain, snagging its lead etc, the nicer pair is for more specific gaming involvement, music etc, than this set. This set is perfectly good for most music, gaming, video conferencing etc and makes me wonder why people spend 10x, 20x the amount - it's not 10x or 20x better! The lead length is useful too, although i'd personally prefer the old telephone cable style (think of the curly, heavier / thicker cable diameter ones), than the thinner lead this has in an ideal world. The noise cancelling could be better, but I've not yet bought a set that can drown out other peoples' screaming kids when you're stuck on the train with them in a confined space. But potentially there's not such a product available on the market that good...? Is AthThe M20x is a very solid sounding pair of headphones for the price, and has impressively even and consistent reproduction. They're also not cheap looking/feeling at all and are perfectly comfortable. For less than $50 they're very likely the best all around over ear headphones currently available.
Are M20X good headphones?The Audio-Technica ATH-M20x are decent over-ear headphones. They have an above-average audio reproduction and a moderately comfortable and stable design. Sadly, They don't block much noise, which may affect your listening experience in loud environments or while commuting.
Does Audio Technica M20X have good bass?they're not really a bass-focused pair of headphones. There's a couple of gentle rises in the bass, but the overall extension is a little bit lacking. I think both the M40X and the M50X provide a punchier, more accurate, more satisfying bass response. I think the mids on the M20X sound sightly withdrawn.
Is Audio Technica ATHThese Audio-Technica wired, on-ear headphones provide unmatched sound isolation with minimal bleed to hear every beat of a song or every footstep in a video game.
