hey it's Justin from CNET this is a first look at the Sennheiser HD - OH - two headphones these headphones are over the ear and are an excellent all-around option for listeners curious about the sonic gains of aftermarket headphones but don't want to spend over $400 on a flashy high-end pair everything about these closed back headphones are built for universal appeal including a wide range of fit adjustments replaceable synthetic leather ear cups and a relatively neutral sound profile with an emphasis on the higher end the HD 202 - SR a closed back design that means the ear cups grip around your ears and filter out a pretty decent amount of ambient sounds which can be a useful feature if you want to block out noises on your commute or while you're walking around a loud city now in terms of comfort the headband holding the cups around your head is fitted with a range of articulation points that lets you adjust them to a lot of different head sizes and despite their lightweight they do feel very durable compared to other plastic headphones you may find that the 10 foot long cord will keep you from wanting to use it as a mobile headphone but Sennheiser does include an adapter that lets you spool it up if you want to go that route another thing to note on these headphones is that they don't include any controls on the wire for remote or volume access so you may want to check out our other headphone reviews if you're shopping for a smartphone friendly pair I recommend the cost Porter pros the knee electronic HG 21s or even some of the others Sennheiser on-air models for comparisons you can read more about that in my full review on CNET but that's going to do it for this review these are the sennheiser HD - OH - 2 headphones thanks for watching you
