"Nice Affordable Headphones"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
As someone who wanted to sit down and start recording with a standalone mic, I wanted a nice set of over-the-ears that were comfortable, so I could sit for long periods with out having to rip them off my head. The importance to me lay in the quality of the sound. I wanted to hear every detail of both my playing and my vocals, the places where I'm spot on, and the pieces where I'm lacking. These headphones cover that need just fine.

"Great set of budget minded headphones."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Overall I would say these are a great set of headphones. For the practicing musician you'd be hard-pressed to find something substantially better for the price. These would make a great set of headphones as a replacement for super-expensive "boutique" headphones.
Sound
Great budget headphones, Decent response across the board.
Features
Came with a 1/8th in jack to a 1/4th in jack, Thankfully!
Ease of Use
No setup, Attach the adapter, plug into amp, Enjoy sound!
Quality
Really what you'd expect at this price range, They do not feel like they would survive much punishment, But not super-duper cheap. They feel like they will last a good long time, if taken care of, but still susceptible to punishment, as most of the headphone is made of snap-together plastic.
The coily cord it uses to connect to your headphone-out jack on your amp feels real sturdy. It is nice and thick wire, wrapped in some tough rubber/plastic feeling coating.
Value
A great value. The sound doesn't break up at danger-to-the-ear volumes. The bass response is really, really great, without sacrificing too much in the other ranges.
Manufacturer Support
Neutral Response, Haven't made any contact with the company, I doubt I will, these are decent headphones!
The Wow Factor
The headphones look decent.

"Good choice for general studio use."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
These 'phones are good for studio monitoring. They are loud and seal against the ear well for good isolation. They are not the most accurate in frequency response, but that's okay.
Features
They are loud and seal against the ear well for good isolation.
Ease of Use
I wish they had a regular 1/4 inch plug on them but the adapter does snap on tightly.
Quality
The only negative is that the soft leather-like covering on the ear pads will flake off with a couple of months use...and it makes a mess!

"Good phones but not all that sound proof"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought these phones to monitor live recording on a Tascam HR40. They do the job and are a definite step up from the open consumer grade Sony's I was using but I would prefer even more blocking of the live sound. They are comfortable and appear well made. They do not fold up for easy packing but they aren't supposed to, not a problem for me. All in all good phones at a good price. I rated manufacturer support a 3, but it should be a not applicable because I have not used their support.

"Best sound, Best comfort"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I love these headphones and I hope they last me for ever.
Sound
When I first put them on I wasn't expecting much from the 35 dollar headphones but I was blown away. The balance in the low and high is superb and no distortion at all, I tested them out and cranked the volume up and no crackling just a pure, amazing sound. These blow the 300 dollar boses out the door and I'm not kidding.
Features
I needed the bigger adapter for my keyboard and it just snaps on over the smaller head and simply plug it in I love it. The cord is just the perfect length. It doesn't pile up on the ground or pull on your head. It is coiled toward the end and the way that it connects into just one ear cup is a great feature. It allows me to move my hands freely and not snag onto the cord. The cord is virtually weightless and it feels like your wearing wireless.
Ease of Use
Well it is very very complicated to use these head phones. You have to put them on your head and plug them in. It took me forever to figure out how to use them. They're headphones c'mon!
Quality
The padding on the headband and the ear cups are fantastic I put them on and the cushioning felt amazing. I wore them for about 3 and a half hours and it never made my ears sweat or get hot and the weight of these headphones makes you forget that you have them on, absolutely no pressure on your ears unlike the uncomfortable seinhousers. I could sleep with these on.
Value
For the quality that these headphones are they certainly beat out the expensive sonys, bose or seinhousers. I haven't found a better pair, and I have tried several.
Manufacturer Support
These headphones are built like a rock and I don't think that I will ever have to deal with the company.
The Wow Factor
It looks very professional. They aren't like some of the pioneers that stick out and are bulky these are sleek and the perfect size.
