These headphones sound very good when used for monitoring or studio applications. They will crackle slightly in the high range when used at loud volumes, other than that they produce a very detailed and accurate sound all in all. Very good low and mid ranges. They are not good for listening to most portable cd/mp3 players, computer audio or most any application where it is required to use the 1/8" phono plug as opposed to the 1/4". The reason for this is that they have a higher impedance than most headphones (such as sony mdr-v6) used for those applications that don't put out much power. Resulting in low volume and harsh sound when eq is applied. But, they were designed for studio reference not for general purpose. Sound great through any good headphone amp that produces enough juice.

Good quality. Plastic support could be improved. May be easy to break with rough handling, but fairly sturdy. Very comfortable to wear for any duration of time.

Very good value for the price! Can not get this sound quality for similar price.

These phones are a great value. I own two pair. Very comfortable Good, not outtstanding fidelity. I initially tried them out at Sam Ash on that headphone tree-like thingy where the prices went up to $300.00. You had to go to $150.00 before you got noticeably better sound. very balanced. I like the way that the sound out of My Tascam Dp-02 through these phones is very close to what I get on the burned CD. Also they seem very sturdy so far.

Nice long cord. Nicely plated connectors, good quality components in general.

These work well with the Behringer MicroAmp headphone amp.

Very well made especially for the little money they cost. More rugged than a $200 pair of Sonys I am aware of.

Very much worth the price, in fact that is the most outstanding thing about these phones. There are no better at this price point or any others up to $100.00

Don't know at this point.

Pretty much basic phones.

I've been playing trumpet since I was 12, I play and record my performances at home.

Progressive Jazz, Big Band Jazz, Fusion, Jazz/Rock and Classic Rock.

These cans sounded good with my digital piano (Kawai mp9000). Warm sounding for accoustic instruments without harsh upper frequency range. A bought Sony MDR-V6 headphones for about twice the price but they weren't a good match for my piano. Very harsh sounding upper range and too boomy at the bottom. The MDR-V6's do sound very good for general music listening though.

Not quite as efficient as phones like the Sony's. Same output source sounded much louder on the Sony MDR-V6.

Unfortunately, these lasted about 6 weeks before the right earpiece fell off and the right wire crimped in half. Am trying to fix it now. But if you are a bit hard on your phones (like me) you might consider paying for something that will take more abuse.

I Paid about 40 Pounds for these things & was therefor expecting to get some sort of quality out of them. But no! Sub-Bass is Non-Existant, Bass is so low that you'll make friends with your Graphic EQ, Mid Range is far too powerful & due to the fact that High end is missing aswel means that it sounds like you are listening to sound through 2 Hollow plastic cups! I mean, maybe I have a faulty pair or something? Because I've bought alot of 'phones over the years & have never met a pair that are so bad! Crackle, Crackle - Crackle!

Comes with Tacky plastic packaging & a spare Jack adapter to add to my collection!

You put them on, they work.

Another thing that disapointed me is the fact that they look large & therefor give you the impression that they are "Ear-Cups" & cover them. Not so, They are bigger than Ear-Muffs but lay ON the ears! Yes, the sponge is fairly comfortable but it's clear that they didn't have a design plan here as such.

For 40 pounds I could have got a pair of Half decent Sony's or Sennheiser's. What was I thinking? Still, a lesson learnt well!

In a way, it's a shame because they do in a way feel nice. But you look like a complete twit from the back with half of the cans over-lapping your ears, but NOT covering them!
