good sound, not much else to recommend it.

The sound quality of these headphones is very good. Clear, no distortion. Unfortunately, the headphones feel very cheap, the adjustable ear pieces very awkward to use. The headband itself is not adjustable and is on the small side. After having these...

Love these things. Bought my first pair in Germany in 2003 and I still have them in 2010. I'm buying another pair from Amazon so I have a spare, since a child has decided that chewing the cord is a good idea. The things I love the most about these are...

Good Sounds, Great Price

These sounds great, and live up to the price point. I enjoy the ability to coil the cord. Well done headphones.

Good sound but poor materials, and you need to have a VERY small head.

 

Good sound but poor materials, and you need to have a VERY small head.

Very good sound but the materials are cheap and noisy. Also, they were deign for a head of a 8 year old child; way too tight.

Very Pleased

These headphones are great. The chord is long, but you are given a thing to store excess. These things are very comfortable and sound great. A lot of these reviews talk about the base being strong, but I have two things to add to that. One, the bass...
