Very Good

I just picked these up to replace my cheap Radio Shack phones that I stepped on... The ear cuffs are very comfortable so long sessions don't cause pain. The output volume is amazing - much louder than my previous set. The cord is nice and long so you have a lot of freedom to move around. Comes with 3.5mm and 1/4" stereo jacks of good quality. Auto adjusting head strap works great! Cons- I think the cord is poorly shielded, they pickup a good deal of 60Hz noise and that's a bit annoying. Also I tested the bandwidth and they work fine, nice and clear, from 20Hz to ~ 16KHz above that they attenuate the signal badly. So if you really need 20KHz these won't do. For the price they are very good. Once your playing through them the noise isn't an issue; it fades into the background. I would recommend them to all but the most picky audiophiles.

These headphones are not terrible. Nor are they AMAZING. I've had them for a few weeks, and they're comfortable and cool, however they produce a bit of static. I can't really play anything at the desired volume without the sound popping a bit. The sound quality is a bit muddy as well. The lows and the mids run together a bit, and the highs aren't very crisp. If you're on a budget then these are good headphones, but if you can afford better, then I would suggest kicking in a few more bucks to get something a bit more dynamic.

    I've used these headphones nearly everyday for the last five years, and I love them. Though from everyday use there has been some wear and tear, as soon as they break, I will not hesitate to purchase them again. I use them for home music production and mixing, and I adore them. I can be picky sometimes with audio quality, but these do the trick just fine. Whether it's for listening to music while studying, or making music in your free time, I could not recommend these headphones enough, especially for the price.

  • After more than more than 5 years they are mostly functional

    My aunt and uncle got me a pair for Christmas some years back and they have been the longest lasting pair of headphones I have ever encountered the sound is amazing and they only recently started having a little trouble with disconnecting and the pad on the adjustable headband broke after 4 years of use so it is still mostly functional
