## Description

Sennheiser SENN-507364 - HD 206 Over ear Headphone

Review: Absolute bargain! - 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.
Review: Big surprise. - I wanted a spare pair of multi-purpose headphones to partner the Sennheiser model HD 205 I have been enjoying ever since someone accidentally trod on what I used previously. As the 205 seems now to be an outdated model, I looked for what appeared to be nearest to it in specification and price, hence my choice for the Sennheiser HD 206. But I was actually to find its performance very different to how it has been promoted, and what I expected. The first thing I noticed was how loose it is to wear (the 205 being quite snugly fitting), and how susceptible it is to transmitting handling noise from its cord at the slightest movement (the 205 being almost free from such a distraction). Listening first to some orchestral music on digital radio, the playback level was well down, and I had to wind up the source volume another 50% to match the 205’s output. The 206 seemed to give quite an even response, the top and bottom frequencies I thought being a little more extensive in a subtle sort of way, and the middle frequencies perhaps slightly more relaxed than the 205. I then heard the presenter’s voice, and was immediately knocked back by a massive boost of sibilance, which seemed way o.t.t. Quickly putting the 205 back on to hear the same voice, the sibilance was still clear, but without the shrillness. Was the 206 overdoing it, I wondered, especially having heard this particular radio presenter many times in the last 20 years through different devices, and a variety of headphones, and always finding his tone quite mellow. I then compared a steam train recording from a few years back that I have recently mastered from minidisc. Very nice through the 205, but slightly cleaner with the 206 – the locomotive’s exhaust having more bite, and the background sounds of sheep in a field across the way were not just more distinct but seemed more neatly positioned in the stereo image. Yes, the whole scene came very much alive through the 206, rustling leaves in the trees, and all. My final test was to listen back to some bird calls in the garden and hand bells played indoors, recently done on a digital recorder. With both subjects the high frequency detail was enhanced. Very interesting. The 206 is described as having a “rich, crisp” bass response, but for me it’s the high top end that gives the crispness, even “crystal sharp”, whilst the bass is very smooth indeed. Where it’ll work very nicely is when I get stuck into mastering my old tape recordings, as the 206 will definitely show up what is or isn’t there, especially where tape hiss is a factor to contend with. But I still question whether the 206’s tonal balance is really natural, or not, and how long it will take for me to get accustomed to those very bright upper registers. For my age I thought my high frequency hearing was still pretty good, but surely not that good! But at least I now have both headphone sets to play with, and each can be used to its own best advantage. As with the 205 model, the 206 comes with a very long lead which has its uses, such as when someone else wants a listen, and the optional ¼ inch jack adapter is what suits my tape machine. A slight shame about the impedance incompatibility, as I was hoping to use both sets simultaneously for shared listening. I can imagine that for listeners who are unfortunate enough to suffer a high frequency debility, the 206 model could deliver like the joys of spring. Shame about the handling noise, though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the HD 206 headphones have a padded headband?  I have an older 201 model which does but the image is not clear if it does for the 206.**
A: I have just ordered my upgrade, 206 i think?? Great headphones had the 201's since 2002!

**Q: Is there a lot of noise leakage with these headphones? I sit in a silent office very close to co-worker.**
A: Providing the headphones sit properly over your ears then no, for the money they have a good sound and represent good value

**Q: Are these headphones very low? I just purchased a pair and I can hardly hear them even through the headphone socket on my Mackie speakers!**
A: I find these headphones very good value for money and good performance for the price.  The sound level is exactly as I would expect, when I use them plugged into a tablet or I-phone, there is ample volume to spare.  If you are attempting to drive them directly with the line level (100mv into 10K) ona a PC, then they will not work well as any typical headphones would not.  They are designed to be driven with a low impedance source designed to drive headphones.  Most sound cards have both line level and headphone outputs you may be using the wrong one.  If you are using a Hifi Headphone output, then there must a be fault somewhere if they are not the expected volume.  check all connections are firmly in place, particularly important if using any type of adapter to convert Jack size. EG: 3.5mm to 1/4".

**Q: does it have microphone?**
A: No there isn’t a microphone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sounding cans
*by D***G on 2 August 2022*

These headphones are very comfy and seem like a quality product. They are wired of course and the lead is about 10ft long, which is great if you are plugging them into your stereo at the opposite end of the room....but no so good if you are connecting them to your phone or tablet on your lap, because the lead can get all tangled up....which is annoying. Fire up some music though, from you tube, and these sennheisers really sing...with very good detail and insight into the music...bass is reasonably deep, tight and tuneful....vocals are crystal clear, midrange is open and the treble is smooth and detailed and never harsh. They are very musical...and a real bargain for 20 notes....what more do you want?.... perhaps wireless?
