Sennheiser HD 206 Stereo Headphone Silver

I bought this pair of headphones on a bit of a whim. I've recently got back into PC gaming, and my build had stretched my budget somewhat. Not wanting to have to resort to the inbuilt speakers on my monitor I purchased these for just shy of £30. That doesn't get you a lot in the world these days, so in my mind if these lasted me a month I'd have been happy enough.That simply wasn't the case. The unboxing experience highlighted their price point, not much other than the cardboard box and a soft paper/fabric bag. They arrived undamaged though, so it was fine.The headphones do feel light, and are made of a cheap plastic but this isn't really an issue. Durability may be an issue if you were to travel with these regularly, but for me they are permanently plugged into my PC.There is plenty of adjustment to be had here, I think most heads will be able to get a comfy fit with these.The cups are a strange material, it seems like a thin vinyl type material? At first glance it doesn't look like it'd be overly comfortable, but my presumptions were wrong! The headphones are a joy to wear, I can basically forget they're on my head, they don't get too hot, they don't put any pressure on any point of my head. Zero complaints in this area.I'm by no means an audiophile, the next best audio device I have to compare would be Airpods Pro 2nd gen. Now the listening experience on these is very different to those, mainly because one is in ear and one is on ear, but the actual sound quality is up there.The clarity of sound is excellent, sounds in game are separate from one another, extremely clear and very balanced. Voices are crystal clear, and they are very immersive.One point to note for gaming, is these have no directional abilities aside from left and right. I know some stereo headphones can emulate surround but these do not. If you want that you'd probably be better going for 5.1 headphones anyway.These headphones do quite well for not letting too much sound leak out for others to hear, at reasonable volumes at least. However external noise is present, and these are not noise cancelling by any means. For me that's actually a positive, I like to be able to still hear whats going on around me.For less than £30 these are unbelievable value. I'm glad that I took a chance on these, there are even replacement cups available online if I ever need replacements! If they last me 12 months (I'll update if I remember) I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat.

Very nice headphone! For the price I paid (~£20) it is great! Very long cable, good for sessions! Not amazing, but that is why it is cheap.

Bought them over a year ago, wear them every day, comfortable enough after a simple modification, decent sound. The black material on the earpieces hasn't fallen apart yet like my last pair of headphones did so fairly durable.The only thing I don't like is that they seem a bit too trebly and pinched my ears a bit, but I wadded up some kitchen towel and put it in the earcups until it felt comfortable and this also cut down on the high end too. After this modification they're great.(4 years later and they've started to die like my previous set, it's always the same area that goes on these, the plastic clip held in by screws where the headband and earcups join. It just blows up one day. You can usually fix it with some glue and some patience, but they're never quite as comfy as you'll lose the directional adjustment in that ear, so stick it on your head (with tape over the join) as the glue sets up. I reckon I might get another few months out of them before the other ear goes. Still, not a bad life for some £25 headphones in daily use.)

These deliver music way,way beyond there price.I have already got the brilliant hd 598's and (another level!),the hd660's.I wanted some light , comfy, closed backs for out and about.The different instruments and voices separate really well.Depth of sound and detail is really good.Even a soundstage,wichclosedcans don't usually achieve.Plus you can buy the earpads to change which will keep any music really crisp and dynamic!If you don't believe me,try it...I'll be amazed the diff new pads makes.Only thing is at the mo u can't get the pads on Amazon which leads to loadsofttouble!!So,come on sennheiser....put replacment pads on Amazon....go on.....you know you want to!!!The HD206 are fantastic cans for such a tiny price.

when i bought these, they were £20 and they sure felt like it.consthe head band is cheap plastic,the ear muffs are a cheap sponge wrapped in a REALLY thin pleatherthe adjusting clips don't move all the way up which hurts my OCDand the sound is a bit washed out when plugged directly into a monitorprosthey are very good for everyday use and sound very adequate for the price pointif you can plug them into a dac/amp combo or into a pair of speakers with any sort of equalizer or bass tuning they sound really goodthe cable is ungodly long which makes cable management alot easier if you are keeping them in one set placeif you looking for a good pair of cheapo headphones these will serve you well for a few years.but they really aren't worth more than £23 so make sure to buy them when the on sale

For £21 it’s hard to be critical. And you don’t need to be because these headphones are perfectly acceptable - good tonal range, reasonable build quality and comfort.They are a little on the mean size - my ears just fit in (I have average sized ears) and the small size of each driver forces you to crank the volume of your player up. However, they are compact and comfortable.The full star rating is entirely due to the ridiculously low price - they’re decent but the price makes them excellent!Good sound attenuation for others around you but they don’t block external noises that much. I quite like that - no closed in feeling.Ear pads can be replaced but be careful with the cable as this isn’t easily replaced (dismantling and soldering required!).But honestly - £20 to £30?!!
