FAQ:
Q: What changes were made from the Sennheiser HD 201 model to the HD 206? They look identical but presumably something is different.
A: The products are identical other than the model number and the packaging.

Q: Does it have a mic?
A: No.

Q: How long is the cord?
A: The cord is about 3 yards (>9') not counting the part that splits to a "V" near the ear cup which is an additional 12".

Q: Is the cord detachable?
A: No. It is a long cord and can get in the way. You can use a small cable tie to shorten it and help manage it when you don't need the full length.

Q: Can I get an extension cord with them?
A: You can order extra cords to fit them.

Q: What is the wire like? Is it real copper or nylon foil wrapped?
A: It's a cheap plastic/rubber-like material. It's a long cable too, about 4-5 ft.

Q: One side of the earphones has quit working. How do I make a warranty claim?
A: Contact Sennheiser or Amazon for warranty information.

Q: How do the HD 206's compare with AKG K240 Pro for neutrality (mixing/mastering)?
A: The HD 206 is a tracking headphone. We suggest using an open-back headphone to mix and master like the HD 650.

Q: Can you use these with an Epiphone acoustic-electric PR-4E guitar?
A: If the PR-4E has mini-jack capability.

Q: By which company does the shipment?
