 Technical Specs Wrong November 21, 2008
If the frequency range is important to you, DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES.
If you're looking to use them for something like Centerpointe's Holosync cds, these will not work for you.
The advertised frequency range, when I bought these headphones, was 5-30,000 Hz. When the package arrived, the frequency range on the package reads 16-24,000 Hz.
Fortunately, I caught that before I opened the package, so Amazon was very good about the return, and even paid for the return postage, since it's their website that's wrong.
 Great headphones November 19, 2008
Wow, the price here is a lot lower than I've been paying for these at other places. (Almost half). I found the headphones to be very comfortable, but I don't have a very large head. The sound is not flat -- I like the bias the phones have, though. They have a lot of clarity and a very nice sound. A bit extra on the low frequencies (but not too much) and a bit on the highs. As a drummer, this is perfect for me. Warm sound, but not fuzzy. If you want an unaltered, flat sound, you might want to choose something else. I've made gifts of these to various people who also really like them.
Great October 12, 2008
I purchased these headphones because they were the best sound quality for the money and were also efficient enough to run with an MP3 player. I have not been disappointed, they sound very good, though not perfect. They have only 2 drawbacks. The bass is a little weak for me and then they come, they didn't fit me right. When it starts getting into loser decibel levels it starts to distort a little bit. Fairly minor flaws, especially since the fit can be fixed in about a day if you leave them to stretch out.
Solid Contruction - Good Sound - Tight Fit July 26, 2008
The other reviewers have hit these points and I have to agree. They are efficient enough to use with my MP3 player, but I do have to turn then up more than the Sonys that the cat destroyed. I wanted a pair that would block out external sounds (which is why I didn't get the Sennheiser PX100's) and these definitely do. The sound, and the construction is just solid. Bass? Definitely! - But I found I had to change the equalizer setting to boost the high end - they weren't as sharp as I'd hoped based on some of the reviews.
Fit - Tight, really tight. I have a long head, but not extremely wide and still, despite some headband manipulation, are quite tight and my ears get warm. I can do about 30 min and then I need a minute w/o them to continue listening.
So I have to give them a 4 - a quality product, but I'd like them to be less tight. I have tried some of the suggestions in the reviews but with limited success. I'll keep trying, because if they were less tight - they'd be hard to beat for the money.
Fantastic headphones. A drummer's dream. July 13, 2008
These headphones are absolutely perfect for me. I listen to lots of low-end metal (post-metal, doom metal, etc) and also black metal. I also listen to lots of post-rock. I couldn't ask for a better set of headphones at such an affordable price. They're quite heavy on the bass, so if you don't like much bass, stay clear of these.
My favourite part, tough, is the noise-cancelling pads. Those are perfect for me, as I can hear my music totally clearly when I'm playing drums along with my iPod, trying to learn songs. The sound is crystal-clear and very, very nice.
They also come with an adapter that you screw on to the 1/8 inch input to make it 1/4 inch (to plug into a keyboard, mixer, etc.)
I highly recommend these to anyone looking for some great headphones at an affordable price.
