decent

I bought a keyboard a few years ago and these came with it. They are decent sound quality, not amazing. Also could have more bass. Some complaints: 1. They don't swivel so they can be uncomfortable after an hour or so. 2. The frame that goes over your...

Escape the interference

Its funny how headphones have become such a part of our daily lives. From the ubiquitous white cords dangling from our iPods to their predecessors, those foam covered throw-aways from the walkman era, headphones have become the way many of us...

Good, full sized headphones.

Decent headphones

The AKG K66 headphones are probably the best open-backed headphones you can get for such a low price. They are open-backed, so don't plan on using them to listen to Iron Maiden at full volume in some public place and expect to get away with it. Very...

Spend some extra

They don't swivel, so they can be incredibly uncomfortable. Everyone else can hear perfectly what you are listening too (that's bad.) They are pretty distorted, and the bass is about as powerful as a metronome. I was given them for free, and I am...
