Looks good but uncomfortable and lacks bass.

 

I would have to say when I first saw these headphones I thought that they would be very good because they looked good and they were only $30, but I was wrong. The memory foam ear pads get uncomfortable for my small ears after about 15 minutes of...

Most comfortable headphones ever!

 

I've been looking for a good pair of cans I can wear all day, both at the office or while I walk or take the train. I tried several pairs from Sony to Skullcandy, and they all eventually hurt or overheat my ears. Also I wear glasses, so that's another...

Only decent sound, but very comfortable.

 

I got these to use in the office to listen to music during my work day, so comfort was a must. These things are very comfortable both physically and aurally. The padding seems to muffle the sound a little bit, but it's a good tradeoff if you're going...

Great sound, excellent build, sleek design.. LOVED IT!

 

I picked up this headphone yesterday after much research on the web and stores. I compared this with JVC HA-RX500 and BOSE In-Ear. I have to say that this exceeds my expectation of what I paid. I loved the quality of the product (i.e. short and tangle...

Disappointed

 

OK, so for the price the sound is OK. I'm not going to pretend I am some expert audiophile, I am just your average music listener, listening to a wide range of music. The sound on these headphones is fine, and what you expect for the price of the item....

Consumer review by:

DO NOT BUY THESE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

 

OK, so for the price the sound is OK, when these things are actually working. I'm not going to pretend I am some expert audiophile, I am just your average music listener, listening to a wide range of music. The sound on these headphones is fine, and...
