Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These headphones are great if you want something cheap and portable. They absolutely cannot compete with higher quality headphones from companies like Sennheiser and the like. I primarily use these headphones for listening to Pandora at work, but at home on my hobby computer where I do most of my audio work, the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros and Sennheiser HD 555s beat them handily in every performance metric. The most noticeable problem with these headphones for me is that they do not seem to clearly output sound in the mid to mid-low range. Though I have not investigated the audio drivers, it seems as though they are tuned for most of their performance in the highs to the mids and then in order to push them as a performance model, some fair low end bass performance was tacked on later. Sounds that shift from mid to low are drowned out and sometimes bass comes at you unexpectedly since it seems to be driven a bit more powerfully. If you are looking for the best sound, don't buy these. If you want a set of headphones that you can use everyday that sound way better than a set of earbuds get these. I don't want anyone to think that these headphones are not good. They are *absolutely great* for a price of $45 and they will be worth it to you if you do not want to purchase a higher end model or if you are listening to low quality mp3s. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to be able to actually hear their music and can't/doesn't want to buy a higher end set. I rated them a 4 out of 5 due to the low price and more than acceptable sound.
