do not buy the HD202 as it is crappy

see reviews of it on the internet to know why i say that :)

a much better buy is the HD201 :D
 
^ Says who? I don't recall seeing any reviews saying the HD202 is crappy :S. In fact its really good value for the price.

The HD201 is also supposed to have pretty good sound for the price, BUT i have seen quite a few reviews saying it has lower sensitivity which means it wont sound as good or play loud enough without a proper amp.
 
From all the reviews I've read, its clear that -

1. HD202 is supra-aural, has enhanced (bloated, according to some) bass and provides relatively better isolation.
2. HD201 is circum-aural, has tighter (none, according to some) bass but is harder to drive.

which basically means HD201 will have lower volume levels but should be good enough for proper listening without an amp. The type or amount of bass is a matter of personal preference and can be easily corrected by using an equalizer. HD201 are newer in comparison to HD202 and are said to be better overall but all that depends on your taste of music. To me, both are good as I've heard none and still wondering which one to get. :p
 
@everyone..

take ur time and make ur choice and place ur orders.. on the basis of some suggestions i recieved on the other forums, im trying to figure out whether a more convenient payment mechanism can be put in place which would allow the buyer to directly pay Jaben.

Will update when i have some info on that.

+1 for the 202 .. I got myself one from the U.S of A early this year for 20$ :eek:hyeah: and am very happy with the performance so far.

Though it is not in the league of the biggies, it stands it's own ground when it comes to clarity and bass reproduction (at the price:p ). I cannot say whether they are better or the 201 is, but they are certainly not crappy...:no:

But the thing which I found missing was volume control. Sometimes, a pain when listening to mp3s and can cause you to suddenly jump when a particularly "loud" song starts playing. :bleh: But, whoever buys this, make sure you listen to some Lounge and trance tracks on this... outta this world.. :angel: & :jumpy:

What abt undervaluing the products ??

the point is...supposing that the items gets into customs even after all precautions ('undevaluein' is a taboo word:bleh: ), the buyer will have to pay for it........
