Customer Review: Excellent for audiophiles on a budget
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these headphones, and earbuds just cannot compare. After my old high-quality headset was destroyed by my cats, I attempted to make do with earbuds, but I could tell that the sound was nowhere near as rich. Additionally, I found that all of my earbuds took certain pieces of music and added vibration static to the songs. Finally I had enough and went back to a proper headset.
My music sounds SO much better now, and a lot of subtle elements that I'd been missing are much clearer. I'm going to be doing a lot of work this semester with audio equipment, and I already know that these headphones will help me with that instead of getting in my way and giving me inaccurate playback results, which the earbuds would have. Most headphones that reproduce sound at this level of quality go for considerably more money, so it's definitely the choice for someone (like me) who's on a limited (student) budget.
Customer Review: Extremely Durable!

I just had to review this headset now that I've owned 2 pair... I'm not an expert on sound quality, but they sure sound good to me... As, for quality of it's construction, I can tell you a couple things about this headset...
First of all, I have had my original headset for over 5 years now... I fall asleep every night listening to the radio with them on, and it has never broken, which is amazing to me since I sleep like a tornado...
Secondly, I have a cat that for some reason likes to chew on the cord of this headset every day, sometimes even when I'm still wearing them... The cord is STILL intact after years of chewing and the headset still works great, but I fear soon my little furry friend is eventually going to chew all the way through so I just bought another set...
So, all in all, I would say this make and model of headset is more than worthy on 5 stars in my opinion.
Customer Review: Nasty headphones, for a nasty price. (nasty=amazing)
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these little things. So light yet so durable, so gritty yet so pretty (opps, that was kinda lame wasnt it), and the most important of them all, so CHEAP and yet so GOOD!
These things are awesome, delivering grrreattt and authentic sound at all levels, they satisfy me in just about everyway. I started of with the crappy stock phones, lost em the first day i got em and didnt care a bit. So i bought these, and after owning them for 4 years, they're just startin to fall apart on me, but hell, i used em everyday for at least 4 hours, i dropped them more times than i can count, and they still sound just as good as the first day i got them.
If ur looking for a good cheap pair of headphones,and if u cant afford them, then i highly dought that u have the money to pay the power bill which is running the very computer that u are sitting in front of right now.
Customer Review: Great for the price!

I bought these 3 years ago at a Meijer and they are still in wonderful shape. When I'm drawing I wear these while listening to music to block out external sound. My husband loves to laugh at movies he watches downstairs whenever I'm doing homework. These things will block him out ha ha! The padding feels wonderful against your ears, however you can start to get sweaty in the warmer seasons if you wear them for a long time. These things can take a beating, I've rolled over them several times with my computer chair. The sound quality is great and they are fairly comfortable. If you don't like ear buds and don't want to fork out a lot of money to higher quality head phones. These will be perfect for you! I can't stress enough about how awesome these are to wear while working because they block everything out. It makes you feel more productive while listing to your favorite music.Customer Review: great cost to quality ratio

I bought a pair of these headphones in 2002 and they are still going strong. I've had other headphones in that time as well, but these have been rather constant. There have been a couple of hundred dollar headphones that didn't last anywhere near as long. Earbuds have their uses, but step up to fuller, richer sound with some real headphones. I haven't even taken good care of them! the sliders that fit your head are loose (but they still stay on my head!) and the phone pads and their covering are still in pretty decent shape. They also do a reasonable job of isolating outside noises. These have no reason to be made so solidly, especially for less than $20, but they are. The cord is also reasonably long, and at this price its not a problem that its not coiled. Anyway, I think everyone should have a pair of these just as a spair if not as a primary set.
