SennheiserHD 206 Stereo Headphone

I have bought a lot of new headphones, a lot of them sound muddy. I keep buying these. They are nice & clear sounding

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.

Comfortable.I dropped my last pair 1 too many times onto my hardwood floor, the Right side broke, no sound, it is still intact, my own fault every time I dropped them.I bought another pair. They are great for the price. Use them with everything, T.V, Xbox, PC.I was using them to mix and they are totally fine if you wear them a bit off the ear, so the bass doesn't muffle.

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.

I've bought several of these over the years. I love the comfort, fit and sound. However this latest pair have a noticeably poorer build quality. Everything feels brittle and flimsy, I don't think they will last long.

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.

These had a nice quality sound to them but the build quality is very cheap , after a few months they stretched and became loose on my head and after that they started to short out in the cable after a while and damaged my sound card, they are now in the bin and I'm not happy...I would not advise getting these ( at all or ) for long term use..

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.
