What's not to like?

 

I read all the reviews and settled on this one for the quality and comfort (not too worried about price). It's easy on the head and ears, cuts out all the ambient noise (including the yeowling from a demanding cat). Quality of sound repro is just what...

Really good headphones, but....

 

Now before I start, Let me say, these are really good, and I used them for everything from gaming, music, watching movies, etc. It's been roughly 6 - 8 months since I bought these, and there has been this weird crackling / popping sound from the left...

Amazing headphones for the price. Best in it's class!!

 

First I'll state that these are my first set of "upper end" headphones that I've ever purchased, but they sound amazing in every aspect of the word. I listen to all genres. All kinds of Rock, Reggae, Metal of all kinds, some hip hop and Industrial and...
