The Sennheiser HD 200 Pro is certainly impressive and attractively priced. Its closed, circumaural design delivers an outstandingly wide and detailed sound, with tight and punchy basses. In comparison, the more expensive HD 280 Pro has double the impedance and a slightly wider frequency response, as well as folding and rotatable ear cups. The HD 200 Pro, however, is much lighter (placing it ahead of its competition in this respect) and its range comfortably covers the entire audible spectrum. Its light weight, closed-back design, snug-fitting ear cushions, and effective noise reduction system will allow hours of undisturbed studio work, or straight up listening pleasure.
The Sennheiser HD 200 Pro performs equally well across the entire audio spectrum, from 20Hz to 20kHz. Its overall neutral response is ideal for sound engineers and music producers alike. It has a maximum level of 108dB and a nominal power handling capacity of 500mW. Its low 32 ohm impedance makes it adaptable to most sources, since even a weak signal will produce a decent volume. The HD 200 Pro weighs a mere 184g and is ergonomically designed with a low-tension padded headband and extra-soft ear pads. Its two-metre cable is permanently connected and is fitted with a 3.5mm jack. A 6.3mm jack adapter is also provided.
The closed-back design of the Sennheiser HD 200 Pro effectively insulates its users from noisy environments, allowing them to focus entirely on the desired sound. Singers will hear their playbacks unhindered, while guitarists and keyboardists can comfortably record themselves in the studio, or practice anywhere they want to. While sturdy, the headphones have a light and comfortable fit and can be worn for hours on end. Thanks to its low impedance, the HD 200 Pro can be used with a laptop or smart phone for top quality sound. It is suitable even for webinars - without conversations in the background being heard by everyone!
In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the MD 441 microphone classic, hugely enhanced the company’s international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.
Thanks to its 3.5mm jack and 6.3mm adaptor, the HD 200 Pro can be connected to a wide variety of playback devices. Dedicated headphone stands are also provided, which can be fixed to tabletops or mic booms, so that the HD 200 can be gently put down after use. Tilting or swivelling shelves are also available for live technicians who may need to quickly and frequently remove their headphones while mixing.
