Applications:
Finding a cheap sealed headphone that sounds tolerable is almost impossible. Almost we say, because the HD202 is extremely tolerable compared to many other models around this low price point. Although they do exhibit the typical (for very inexpensive cans) slight 'honkiness' in the mids and a rolled-off uppermost treble range, these flaws are fairly modest given the cost; in fact, the musical clarity and overall sonic punch of these cans is knock-down impressive given their price. These lightweight durable cans are great for keeping the kids' video games/DVD watching/ loud music at bay, for outfitting growing audio studios or computer labs, or for ramping down the dorm noise while not spending big wads of cash in the process.
The HD202 use a 'closed/sealed' almost-circumaural earcup design. They have mid-sized, circular pleather earpads that nearly surround the ears, but are not quite large enough to prevent the flat part of the earpads from resting gently on the outside part of the earlobes. The result is headphones that have the desirable light weight and small size of a supra-aural design, but have the secure fit and comfort of a larger circumaural model.
The HD202 are matte-black in color and employ a simple three-piece construction consisting of the two earcups and the headband assembly. The earcups attach via little ball-like protrusions that ride in a small groove within the headband; the detents in this groove allow you to adjust the fit slightly. This design also allows one to remove the earpieces from the headband for compact storage or traveling purposes, although too much disassembly/re-attachment could potentially cause premature wear on the grooved detents. The non-detachable cable is approximately a 3-meter long 'Y'-type and is terminated with a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug. A 1/8" to 1/4" adapter is handily included in the packaging. A 2-year product warranty remains standard with all Sennheiser headphones ONLY when purchased through an authorized dealer like HeadRoom!
