Consumer review (newegg.com)

Worked great until I rage destroyed them

 

Really liked these but I slammed them against my desk when I died in a game, which broke them in half. So sad.

Can't hold up against a rage quit so get something stronger if you want to occasionally slam them against your desk.

Great for the price

 

Good headphones. I foolishly got these as carry around replacements for some lesser Sony earbuds that stopped working. I would buy again, but not to use while on the go.

Good sound range, better than any speakers or other headphones I own. I don't have anything fancy so not a big surprise there. Highly adjustable and pretty comfortable, can accommodate large heads no problem. Handles bass very well, high volume is no...

The cord is too long to be used with an mp3 player or laptop - these are meant to be used when you're going to be stationary. There is no padding at the top of the head, and being bald this set can dig into my scalp at times.

Excellent Quality for a low price

 

I don't know if these could be used with a headphone amplifier. I doubt I will try. I have seen that JVC has a newer model of these. I may try them out and post a review.

Clear mids and highs Decent Lows Had These For years. They have survived many raids, Afghanistan. Black Label Society and Alice in Chains at ridiculous volumes. I am very pleased with these

Great Sound for the price

 

Sound isolation is fantastic, i'm no sound engineer, but it's got some of the best sound of any headphones i've ever used. Amazing sound for the lay person.

When I would wear them for hours at a time, I would eventually get a pain on the top of my head where the cross piece rests on my skull. Maybe my head's a little too skinny, but it felt they weren't all that secure, jostled a little. And somehow, after...

Fantastic sound quality. Built well, as I dropped them dozens times and they're still in one piece.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Its a really long cord

 

Sound quality is on par with what you would expect for the price. The cord is very long, which is awesome if your computer isn't right next to your face

Very little padding on the head area, can be uncomfortable with extended use

Great piece of equipment

 

I do a lot of editing with my Reel to Reel, Cassette, and CD and this allows me to listen without turning on my Amplifier and disturbing others while I work. The only thing better would be if they were wireless.
