The HD201 are an over the ear design, with minimum noise leakage and maximum noise isolation. Their foam padded ear-cups and headband make them very comfortable to wear, though do become uncomfortable after extended periods of use because of the leather becoming hot. The light weight construction is surprisingly tough, mainly due to its hard plastic exterior, these headphones can take quite a beating and have survived quite a few drops. One of the main weak-points of these headphones is the cable, it is a traditional dual sided non detachable 3m long cable, due to its thinness and length it is prone to tangling and not ideal for use while traveling. The cable ends with a gold plated 3.5mm headphone jack while a 6.5 mm gold plated converter is included in the box. These headphones can be run on a standard 3.5 mm headphone ports on devices such as phones and music players, due to their 24 ohm impedance level they run well without sucking dry the batteries of mobile devices. Though the HD201's sound the best when there is ample current available, especially when it comes to bass
i.e (headphone amp or strong headphone port) .

In conclusion the HD201 headphones are comfortable to wear and have very good build quality, the sound while not very bass heavy, have a clean and a very natural sound. Though the cable length is to long for portable use, these super affordable headphones provide a great sound for use in desktop or home theater environments.
