 o.k. for the money January 11, 2008
I read all the reviews prior to buying these headphones. They were accurate. These are o.k. for the money, which isn't much. Doing it over, I would spend a good bit more and get a good set. I do not enjoy listening to music on these due to the crackle. They keep the neighbors happy in my building, but serious music lovers should spend more.
 Five for $10 December 6, 2007
I give these JWIN headphones five stars because for $12 including shipping, these headphones do a decent job. These are great entry closed headphones because they give you a reasonably comfortable feel around the ear, are light for economically cheap headphones, and just overall a good built for the price. I personally don't enjoy the feel of earbuds in my ears and I decided to upgrade from the standard open headphones that come with Sony walkmans. Just to dip my toes in the water, a friend recommended these so I could get a feel without blowing money on something unpredictable in taste, feel, reliability, etc...
Before I even read the other reviews, I too thought these lacked a clear treble, but the midrange is punchy and the bass full fills the low end of the midrange well. It seems to reproduce a snare drum well, not muddle too much on toms and you can pick out the bass drum. Anything midrange sounds fine, but no definite gloss to a guitar, but it doesn't lack in an annoying fashion. The bass guitar by itself is okay for practicing, but again isn't so clear in a mix always, but supports well enough for a $12 set of phones. For general rock and overall "filled" recordings with a lot going on, they are fine. Even on my classical piano music they sound well. For any electronic or jazz music I'd look to going up the latter a little bit more (though I have no recommendations). The lowest frequency response is 20 hertz, and I wouldn't bank on that. A recording like Lusine's "Make It Easy" remixed by John Tejada easily shows the limitations of the bass, that's why I recommend buying a better headphone if you plan on listening to a bass groove genre, but don't want to spend over $50.
When you first get these and want to find what I believe is the truest response with what I think is a balanced EQ recording, try Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". It may surprise you for what you get out of $12.
If you're new to the game of headphones, this is a good place to start. Now I'm building myself up from these without any regrets.
I have owned these for 6 years. They're good. October 11, 2007

have owned these headphones since Jan 12, 2001. Why so specific about the date? Two reasons: 1) it was my first time haggling with a business owner over price, and 2) so I get a little credibility for the review :)
Anyway, I am listening to music on these headphones as I type this. The bass is SUPERB!! I listen to ALOT of jazz and I also love hip-hop. When listening to jazz I like to hear the bass and sax/trumpet leader (or piano leader). Not that drums aren't important, but they get heard no matter what headphones are used. With these bad boys I am able to hear the low/mid/high end with quite a bit of clarity. The bass sounds rich and clear instead of muddy and boomy. The mid/high end speak beautifully and never sounds tinny. I'll admit that after over 6.5 yrs of relatively continuous use (approx. 50 hrs/week) I notice a decrease in quality of sound, but that's to be expected after so much abuse. With that in mind, I still haven't found any headphones for the money that sound as good as these.
I personally never use the volume knobs on the headphones, I just keep them on max and keep my iPod, computer, or CD player(remember those round things) at a lower level. Also I didn't like the fact that the headphones look so cheap. That is a completely aesthetic gripe though because they are very durable. The only crack I got was from someone sittin on them while they were in my backpack. Another gripe would be the fact that after about 5.5 yrs the headphones seemed to stop producing sound. In fact what happened is I knocked the driver loose so I have to push up on the volume knobs occasionally to get the sound back to normal. Remember though this is after 5.5 YEARS of at least 50hrs/week.
Here is a summary:
Pros: clear in all ranges, sturdy as hell, long cord protected by thick rubber coating, consistent across different devices, inexpensive but not cheap, asymmetrical wiring
Cons: didn't use the volume knobs, LOOKS cheap, no-name company, if you touch the headpiece it is heard very clearly (hard to explain...it's not a major problem though)
I bought them for $12 from the guy who tried to sell them for $24. They're definitely worth WAY more than what I paid, but it was a no name company so there was no way I'd pay more than what I did. I've become more of an audiophile and am lookin to upgrade to some much more expensive headphones. If I don't find anything to my liking, I'm going to get these again. I would recommend them to anyone I know.
Excellent headphones! September 19, 2007
These are a great pair of headphones for a great price. Its a steal. Definately would do business with seller again.
Not That Great July 26, 2007

I bought two sets of these headphones based on the reviews. This is the first time that the other reviewers have let me down. These headphones are not that great. Yes, they have individual volume controls which you can use as a "balance". And they have a l-o-n-g cord which should be mandatory on ALL headphones. And they do sound better than the dinky "ear buds" that came with my MP3 player. Maybe there is something wrong with my hearing, but the sound that I heard coming out of these things did NOT have a rich bass and the highs sounded like they were "chopped". So, all you end up with is a LOT of mid-range. And I am not a really big guy, but they just barely fit on my head. I felt like I was trying to put something that had been made for a kid on my head. I was very disappointed with these.
