Sennheiser HD 201


Over-ear and closed-back for less than £20

Key features:
  • Closed-back design
  • 21 – 18,000Hz frequency response
  • 3m cable
  • Review Price: £16.99
On a really tight budget? A while back we looked at a whole bunch of sub-£20 headphones, and the Sennheiser HD 201 came out comfortably on top in terms of sound quality.
These are full-size headphones (for example: DENON DJ HP1100 ), and have a nicely-balanced, detailed sound that a lot of more expensive pairs fail to match. It’s clear Sennheiser got a lot right with these ultra-long-standing headphones. Of course, being a very cheap pair they don’t feel anywhere near as ‘fancy’ as more expensive pairs, including Sennheiser’s own sets.
The frame is pretty light and a tiny bit creaky, and the pads’ fake leather is very basic stuff. Still, if money’s too tight to mention they’re a great pick.
