When you first pick up the HD 200 Pro, the first thing you notice is how incredibly light they are, which is a good thing. However, the all-plastic construction, thin, non-detachable cord, and low weight make them feel a bit cheap. In shots, the headband looks like it might be the same one used on the HD 280 and HD 300 Pro, but it’s actually a different, thinner unit. It’s very flexible, and because of that, it doesn’t look like they’ll break quickly. The headband cushion and ear pads, which are the parts that touch your head, are made of synthetic leather. It helps block out noise, but your ears will get sweaty faster than with velour-like fabrics.
The HD 200 Pro looks better on the couch than in the studio, but its focus on the center makes it a good pair of headphones for the studio. It can also be used for the first steps in making music, but you should be aware that the frequency goes up. It works great as headphones for playing your e-piano, keyboard, or beatbox late at night without bothering your neighbors. They can also be used for tracking in real time, which is another good use for them.

Where to get Sennheiser Professional HD 200 PRO?
The shielding and loudness are good enough that you can hear the sound even when it’s very loud. On train rides, I was excited about the HD 200 Pro. The headphones are perfect for watching a movie or blocking out other people’s noise with music because of the amount of shielding and the frequency picture. In this way, the HD 200 Pro would benefit from a better way to carry it or a convenient way to fold it up. Overall, these headphones are a confident all-rounder that gets high marks for being versatile.
