So I take it the "S" stands for "sucks" ?

You guys actually think there is a difference between the two? And you've done A/B comparisons to prove your theory?

I just googled this and apparently the only difference is the packaging. They both have the same specs. I'm even more confused now. The only thing I can think of is that NE pulled a knockoff on us :lol:

The only way to find out is if someone buys the HD201 from FS or BB and compares the 2. I don't want to abuse the return policy. Have been doing that a lot lately because of boxing week and Christmas :D

They're fine for <20$.

If you want happy go lucky colorful cans under 40$ go for the portapros. No isolation, .3x the mass.

These are decently accurate, which will surely incite a negative response from kids used to teeth rattling bass.

They're quite because you dont have sufficient amp output.

Ultimately I'll be taking my pairs back to Bb since they are too heavy and kink my neck after 3-4 hours.

Does anyone want my brand new not opened pair for cost? Found out they charge 15% restocking and I think that I got to pay shipping back not sure.

If not opened, you can get a full refund.

I just opened them and set them up at work. Love the sound!

Great cans, for something <15$ you can't really beat this at all. Don't know why people aren't really enjoying them. I love them!

And I don't need to be worried about someone stealing them at work since I got an extra pair at home hehe.

To all the "experts" here, this is the response I received from Sennheiser Canada:

[QUOTE]Hello _____

The HD 201 (regular) comes in a box, where as the HD 201 S comes in a blister pack, thats the only difference.

After reading this post, I decided to open them up.

For $15, this is a great pair. It's definitely not something I would use for my regular music listening, but it definitely gets the job done in terms of videos and movies. They are also very comfortable. Great headphones for $15. Glad I didn't sell em :D

I don't know what people are expecting for $15. If I paid $50, I would definitely be pissed. But at $15, come on :D
