Sennheiser are well known for making high quality headphones, and they have one again succeeded with the HD 201 on-ear headphones. After hearing music through these I have never returned to using in-ear headphones, they just take your ears by storm.

I purchased a pair of HD 201 heaphones off Amazon about 4 months ago, and paid a tiny price of £11, and in my opinion, its the best £11 I have spent my whole life. These heaphones deliver high quality sound at only a fraction of the price of other on-ear headphone brands such as Boss and Sony.

Whatever you plug these heaphones into whether it be an Ipod or your own HiFi, you won't be disappointed. These heaphones deliver a very clean sound, and even when listening to metal/rock music you can hear every instrument clearly without say the guitars outweighing the drums/bass (this may be as result of good recording also). The headphones deliver great sounds on even higher frequencies such as harmonics in music.
There is no distortion when listening to acoustic music, such as classical guitar, and instruments are very defined. Even at high volumes, sound quality is great, and distortion free.

In reviews on other websites, there have been complaints about lack of functionality of these headphones compared to professional headphones, but in my opinion all you need from a pair of headphones is the comfort or wearing them and enjoying the music playing through them, and compared to professional headphones, these are a fraction of the price and well worth it.

The fact these are on-ear/closed headphones may be unappealing to some people, however, they boast immense quality, and are not uncomfrotable to wear at all, in fact they are the complete contrary. Unlike in-ear headphones, once these headphones are on, it is difficult for others around you to hear the music you are playing. And even at high volumes, external noise is still unoticeable. Also please note that if your mp3 player or hifi is on loud volume when you switch it off, turn down the volume on your mp3 player before you turn it back on as headphones may blow your ears as they pick up the sound straight away.

One amin problem with on-ear headphones is compactability. These headphones don't fold, so if your after putting them in a bag whilst your not using them it may be better the keep them out and put them somewhere other than a bag where they aren't squashed. Don't let this put you off though, sound quality is much more important than convenience...and if all else fails, wear them around your neck, it looks good!

If you are after a pair of affordable, high quality heaphones, these are the ones to get!
