Sennheiser HD 202 Dynamic Supra-Aural Headphones

These closed, dynamic, supra-aural stereo headphones are built for the demands and expectations of the DJ. They come with removable, leatherette earpads. These lightweight phones will be appreciated by someone who wears phones for long periods of time. A specially designed damping perforation ensures powerful bass response, while a lightweight diaphragm material with turbine embossing transfers low bass sounds. The ten foot Y-style cord can be connected to a belt and features a take-up system for on the move listening. The headphones come with a two year warranty.

I do not like small earphones that go into the ear. After a very short time I find them very uncomfortable. I also hate anything pressing on my head.

I was looking for a set of over the ear phones which were light weight, comfortable, had excellent sound fidelity, a longish cord so I can be comfortably away from my stereo, and effectively blocked outside sounds. My primary motivation for buying these phones was so that I could listen to opera and really hear the phrases. I wanted all this for under $30.00

These head phones delivered. As soon as they arrived, I tested them on a variety of music types at a variety of volumes. The phones are very comfortable and except for a bit of warming of my ears, which was rather pleasant, I barely noticed them. The cushion on the crosspiece is thick enough so that you don't really feel it.
