Sennheiser UK has launched two new "entry-high-end" headphone designs - the HD201 and HD215. Both are closed, dynamic headphones featuring extended, accurate response, impressive dynamic potential and remarkable comfort.

"The HD201 and HD215 bring the real Sennheiser personal listening experience to impressively affordable levels," says Sennheiser UK's Product Marketer, Nolan Hough, "so we expect them to reveal to a whole new generation just how close to the music they can get."

Both the HD201 and HD215 are "over-the-ear," closed-back designs that deliver outstanding attenuation of ambient noise, encouraging the wearer to become fully immersed in sound without undue distractions. As good as the HD201's ambient-noise attenuation is, the HD215's is even a bit better. It also features a rotatable earcup that makes adjustment to the one-eared use favoured by DJ and radio-station users quick, easy, and comfortable.

Each of the new Sennheiser headphones features exceptionally smooth, natural, extended response. The HD201's low frequency extends to 21Hz and the HD215 to an amazing 12 Hz while both models perform to the upper limits of human hearing with ratings of 18kHz and 22kHz and deliver dynamic potential to spare for reproducing any musical style with real-world levels and impact, with SPL limits of 108dB and 112dB. So despite their unusually lightweight, comfortable designs, the HD201 and HD215 stand ready to create true "high-end" personal listening experiences, with the natural tonalities and impressive dynamic impact experienced listeners expect from any headphone carrying the Sennheiser name. And of course, both carry Sennheiser's two-year warranty.

Sennheiser's new HD201 and HD215 are fitted with rugged, kink-resistant cables and 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo plugs, and packaged with 1/4-inch (6.3mm) stereo-plug adapters. The HD201 and HD215 are available now.
