Review 1 of 7

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Great value for the price. I like the 3mt long cable, helps me walk around the room as i listen to my music. they are nice and light on the ears, not recommended for chaps with ears bigger than the ear sockets itself.

Strengths:
great value for the buck

Weaknesses:
ear sockets are too small.

Review 3 of 7

Price Paid:  $18.00 from TURNKEY charing cros

Summary:
You simply cannot do better for the money.

Deep clean bass down at 30hz and reasonably well balanced sound. I used them for mastering. ie checking everythin=g is okay Now using HD 205. Not mcuh difference - HD 202 are much more comfortable.
Amazing for 3 times the price.

Strengths:
Price.
Low clean honest bass.
LOUD.
Ultra-Comfy for 3 hours plus.
Very long cable (thankyou!)
Look very cool
Superb build quality.

Weaknesses:
Slighty bass heavy.

Could be tweaked up a little in the mid range - a tiny gripe. Otherwise faultless up to headphones costing 100 quid plus.

Review 4 of 7

Price Paid:  $30.00 from Video-s

Summary:
GREAT ! Best 30 $ I've ever spent. Definitely these cans are for modern music, as the bass response is great, and also the clarity in the highs is actually better than expected. That <0,5 % THD (Distortion) is really felt. I tried my best to made them hurr and I barely succeeded. Don't get the wrong idea. These are some cheap headphones, and I do agree that there is some room for improvement. But it beats any standard headphone by far. My friends were amazed when they heard it. I wouldn't recommend these for the mobile listener, since the output of a mp3 player is rarely enough for there cans to show their true potential. These cans are however fabulous for the home audio enthusiast, you just lay on your bed, benefit from those 10 feet of cable and listen to some quality sounds. Ideal for rock (even death or black metal), they also perform quite well in jazz tunes. Not that great in classical music as the highs from the piano and violin tend to be quite imprecise. Overall, it is a great headphone that fits any budget, and for that it has my respect.

Strengths:
- Good Bass response
- 10 feet of OFC cable (comes in handy sometimes, especially if listening at home)
- excellent price/quality ratio, these sound even better than more expensive cans (I've compared them with a 50 $ Phillips)
- Very comfortable to wear

Weaknesses:
- No on-wire volume control
- Wire is rather fragile
- Highs could have sounded better

Review 5 of 7

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I've bought the HD202's for my girlfriend (couldn't stand her wanting some chinesse 5$ models) cause of the positive reviews on the net.
Although i tried not to give them a test run I just felt it was my duty to do so.

The phones are a bit rough on the outside, the plastic used is a bit hard and my overall impression is not that brilliant. They fit the head well enough and do not irritate the listener after the 72 min I had them on. Do not expect that these phones will work as good as your fathers cause nothing that good comes that cheap.

The sound is not as clear as I expected it to be, but the surrounding noise is filtered out well enough. The treble is a bit to intense and is far from the crystal sound of the more expensive models. There's plenty of bass which is a bit muddy but that suits DJ's and mainstream listeners i suppose. The mid section is just not there being run over by the agressive bass and treble.

Strengths:
These are good phones, top of the price range.
Cheap, but give a good entry level solution for people who do not use headphones that often and/or need them to be able to tolerate abuse.
