"Thin cord fails"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)

After about 11 months of gentle use, I how now have a short in the cord right at the base of the headphones that makes these useless.I guess I'll try my hand at soldering on a new cord.
Sound
Great while it lasted.
Features
These would let you practice quitly anywhere and still have a good idea what it would sound like out of an amp.
Ease of Use
Couldn't be much easier to use.
Quality
Everthing but the skinny cord.
Value
Good while it lasted, but I'm not willing to buy a second pair and have them fail in a year.
Manufacturer Support
I'll contact them, haven't heard back yet.
The Wow Factor
This could be a great product, if it just held up to normal use.

"Best way to play on the go."

I move from a Vox amPlug to a set of these (Twin). The sound is much better and you don't have to deal with the amPlug sticking out. I plan to get the Bass model soon.The headphone a good quality (if you compare them to a $200 set of headphones they will loose, but would hold their own with $100 headphones)My only complaint is the could have put a better quality cord on these, it's a little thin and for me at least, the cord is always the thing that wears out first on a set of headphones. Even better if they would have a 1/4 inch jack on the head phones and you could use your own cord.

very convenient piece of equipment because it makes practicing any where with sound a reality. i really enjoy my Vox amphones alot. the only thing that makes me nervous is its thin fragile wire. other than that i am glad i have a pair.

"Not too sturdy"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Very good sound—just like a twin. I can even get them to sound like my Deluxe Reverb at high volume when you use the gain knob on the headphones. Problem: Flimsy manufacture. The right phone fell off the headset after about 10 uses. No extraordinary stress or tension, it just came off. It is now Gorilla Taped back on. To be sure: the Jack and cord seem a bit cheesy as well. Soooo: they sound great, but they need to be handled with kid gloves.
