Skullcandy Hesh vs. Sennheiser HD 202: Comparison

By Paul Barber


Giant and badass headphones have a certain appeal for those who need their music loud and crisp. Well, these two headphones, the Skullcandy Hesh and the Sennheiser HD 202 offer just that , with the increased bonus of being reasonable. If you're trying to make a choice between these two over the ear headphones, then we recommend that you read on to know lots more about them.



Specs

Let's begin with the Skullcandy earphones. The Hesh line has Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets in their 50 mm speakers, a fairly decent frequency response ranging from 20 to 20,000 Hz, impedance of 32 ohms, a 1.2 meter cable, and a gold-plated 3.5 mm plug. The Sennheisers, from the other viewpoint, offer neodymium magnet speakers, with a frequency reply of 18 to 18,000 Hz and 32 ohm impedance. It also has a plug adapter (3.5 mm to 6.35 mm) and an exceedingly long 9.84 ft (3 m) wire.



Specs-wise, the Sennheiser HD 202 can offer better bass, but the Skullcandy Hesh gives more apropos treble. Those who aren't too particular with the tech specs can rest assured that these earphones are similar to one another re specs and both offer good sound quality.



Further Notes

The Skullcandy brand is known (scandalous, even) for making phones that look and sound good. The Hesh line is one of their bigger and louder models, with soft leather touch ear pillows and a similarly padded headband. The Sennheiser brand, on the other hand, is well known as one of most trustworthy headphone makers around. The HD 202 has leatherette padding so they're comfortable to wear also. In addition, some Skull candy Hesh earphones feature in line volume control, but the Sennheiser model doesn't. Also the Skullcandy Hesh is legendary for its large range of designs and colors, so you can possibly find something that matches your private style.



The Sennheiser HD 202 comes with a 2 year guarantee, while the Skullcandy Hesh includes a limited lifetime warranty. All things taken under consideration, both of these headphones offer good value for your cash - though we do note the Skullcandy headphones are a touch costlier.
