These are great headphones for under $50.00 and can be compared with the sound quality of much pricier phones. The lows are clear and not too pounding. Good balance across the whole spectrum but could be a bit better with the highest range. A little tight and warm on the ears but still comfortable - a matter of personal preference. I don't listen for hours at a time so this is ok. They have good noise isolation. I prefer noise isolation headsets without noise canceling because they tend to produce better overall sound quality. When you think of it, the noise canceling is canceling out various ranges of the tone and must affect the music quality by their very design unless you pay really big bucks for the best which I have never tried. I do agree with other reviews that the cord is a bit too long and the winding thing is a big large and heavy but it is a small drawback to an otherwise superior headset. I ditched the winder and use Velcro chord retainers to contain the excess. I'll use these for everything from casual listening of my cellphone tunes and Pandora radio to connecting to the better stereo system with high end recorded music and for monitoring video/audio recording I do for a theater group (the stereo and the monitoring are where the long chord will come in handy). I would recommend these units. Did not give a full 5 stars because of the tightness, lack of extreme highs and chord issues but great for the price.Read full review

I connect these headphones to a new Denon bookshelf system, and am moderately happy with the sound quality. Classical sounds pretty good, but average experience when listening to rock/pop. The ear cuffs become uncomfortable on my ears after about 15 minutes of wearing them. Given the price, this is probably what should be expected.

I'm not the most reliable person to ask for a headphone review. But I'm just going to give you a down and dirty version. Don't take this review as the word of the gospel, but these headphones are awesome for their price. Okay, first thing when I unpacked it was to hook it up to my computer and stream some SiriusXM. At first, they sounded extremely unimpressive. The sound was tinny and the bass was non-existent. But I am a believer of headphone burn-in. So I left my headphones playing on full blast for about 4 straight days (96 hours). Your patience is rewarded when the 96-hour-burn-in-time has passed. The bass is there, it certainly is not head-thumping, but let's save that characteristic for Dr. Dre's Beats (which are horrible in the mid-tone range). Final Result: The overall sound quality is comparative to it's price. Requires 96 hour burn-in. Now, I wear glasses. Usually, most if not all headphones push my frame into the side of my head, which gets painful after awhile. Maybe your head is smaller than mine, but probably not, since my head is pretty small. Also, beware if you have large ears. These things really hurt when they put pressure on the edges of your ears. When I take them off, the tips of my ears are red. May not apply to you, but something to be wary of. Final Result: Ergonomics (is it that?) is not superior. They may mash your head and ears, which gets painful. Beware glasses-wearers. I recommend Bose headphones if that is what you want. In the end, I still enjoy the headphones. They were a good investment since my old pair broke after the cable split in half. I still don't like how it hurts if I don't adjust it every so often, but the sound and price just can't be beat (may be debatable...). If it ain't broke, don't fix it.Read full review
Over the years I've purchased a dozen or more headphones to meet my ever increasing amateur audiophile needs. Although these headphones won't match those in the $200+ bracket, they will certainly meet the requirements of those who are looking for a lightweight, portable, on ear upgrade to earbuds and the like. At this price I was able to purchase multiple sets of headphones to be used in training videos for my employees. Certainly worth the price.

While there's an older HMD that's my usual fave for dry (for the Z), these are super for an FOH disc tango mix for their other-world bass bias (vs others, like the DR6M you can't find anymore, or the MDR6 or WHY Sony calls theirs nowadays, that we always had at the desk). A little less zingy on the highs than others, well heavy bottom- work together great for getting not too much upright and more violin so I don't have to think too much and compensate in that idiom in which I might be doing the knobs at the moment. For straight listening- not that I'm everyone's expert, but it might work for you- I guess cool if you're skateboarding at the moment or into dub- really massive on low end freqs, especially for such low end price. Even nicer for less mid honk than other foreign (aka Eastern-made)-sourced drivers with bigger coils/magnets, when one might guess otherwise. It's not just the cans- I've tried these drivers in other fitments with the same result. (As if my opinion matters, but may do for one other person.) Easier to wear all day than those earpinching foamy things they used to make (414s), among their affordables. Just be ready for lots of boom... (I do the 4 star thing because they are great for me, though so boom-weighted they'd throw me for flatness for sure if I weren't looking for that bias, otherwise, given the price range new, I'd do 5 over any I've had to hear, which aren't many in that bunch. Just me, again...)Read full review
