Nixon Nomadic (White)

The Nixon Nomadic On Ear Headphones are exceptionally stylish, and they come in a variety of colors and configurations, including an iPhone-specific option with integrated playback controls. Includes handy extras, such as a hard-shell carrying case and...

Music through the Nixon Nomadic headphones is lacking in bass, and highs tend to get lost in the heavy mids. The earcups put some pressure on the ears, and the headband slips when the wearer walks around.

The superstylish Nixon Nomadic On Ear Headphones have looks that could kill and a sturdy, unique design, but the muffled, mediocre sound will not satisfy audio purists.

"Not Horrible"

These are not the best headphones I have ever owned, but they aren't the worst either. First of all they look outstanding. I have the red ones and they are very eye catching. They fold up and are travel friendly. The bad is that they simply do not...

Look Great

Not much bass

"Not worth a penny"

At around £100 these headphones are the biggest rip-off going and I strongly advise against buying them - you WILL be disappointed. They look absolutely great, probably one of the coolest headphone designs going at the mo, but in practical use they are...

Look brilliant, great design

Awful build quality

"waste of money!"

meh. after having owned the headphones for not even two months, the damn thing 'broke!' lost sound in one ear, basically. plus, the fit was really bad. i had to keep lodging it into my ears. it just wouldn't stay put. not worth your 40 bucks!

sound is great. looks sleek.

um, doesn't have longevity. crappy fit.

Nice cans!!!

These are solid headphones that look and feel fantastic. In some of the previous reviews it was stated that there was poor bass response and sharp highs, however, I dont feel they are that bad. If you have a device that you can adjust the EQ these cans...

Terrible sound quality, way too expensive. Nomadics are terrible

I cannot believe I bought these. As soon as I got them and put them on I realized that they had no bass response, the highs were tinny, and altogether, the earphones sucked. I'm having a hard time selling them on Craigslist now. If you want a better...
