"Excellent buy for Excellent sound!"

Sound: I use them purely for listening to music. They do justice to everyone from Michael W Smith's "Freedom" to Kurt Bestor's "Innovators" to Secret Garden to "Best Blue Note Album in the World". I've tried about a dozen different headphones ranging up to $150 Sennheiser's. These have the best all around frequency range that you can actually hear coupled with being distinct enough to hear stage noise of breathing flutes etc. - and for the price it's nearly unbelievable. Feature: No features needed. Quality: Seems to be constructed well. They're simple, look good and have a great design for fitting anysize head automatically. Value: Best value in what you get. My next favourite pair (Denon AHD-550) are a lot more. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed support. The Wow Factor: They look good hanging beside the stereo. Overall: I expect to get 10 years of normal use out of these...or more. If they got crushed by my Unimog today I'd replace them with the same ones, no question.

Style of Music: Jazz, Rock, New Age, Easy Listening,

"Buy some unless you're rich enough to buy some really expensive ones"

Sound: I havent't used many headphones, but I can confirm that these do give a sound pleasing to my ears and don't seem to distort at loud volumes. Feature: Noise attenuation? well im not sure exactly what this means but im pretty sure these phones don't do it very well, like a sieve both ways I'd have said. Quality: Seems fairly robust, I feel that if i were to jump on it fairly hard I could write it off in one go, but if you don't walk on them too often then they feel like could last a fair few years. Value: Rather good value for money I think overall Manufacturer Support: Haven't had the pleasure as yet The Wow Factor: Well, I don't think I look too silly wearing them, but come on man... earphones don't pull chicks. Overall: Should keep me occupied for a few years yet, they'll probably meet their ultimate demise under an amp at some point.

Style of Music: Rock, probably more pop-rock than rock rock
