I cannot recommend these headphones. When shopping for some replacement phones a couple years ago, I had the name Sennheiser on the mind. I had read lots of great things about the company and their headphones. So when I went to Future Shop to look for a replacement, I saw the HD-202s priced at about $80, and they looked alright, so I picked them up.
I have never hated a pair of headphones so much! While the sound is clear and decent, it's certainly not a high end sound. It's flat and boring, no life/air, no dynamics to speak of. Bass is weak. On the other hand they go fairly loud with no distortion, so they were great for bus rides.
On the comfort side of things, the cups are on a unipivot mount, and it just feels sloppy when on my head, won't stay put. The clamp is very tight and uncomfortable, I assume this is to counteract the wobbliness of the unipivot cup but it doesn't work. The headphones are both uncomfortable and unsecure when on the head.
Then the cable, it's flimsy and very prone to tangles. BUT, the phones were 80 bucks so take all that how you will.
