Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased these headphones because my dad wanted a pair of headphones when he went to work out and go about his daily routine. After doing some research for the best headphone at the best value ($25 and below), we decided to purchase this pair of headphones. After testing it for a while, I must say, I am quite pleased with this headphones. There is no particular category that stands out with these headphones and while they lack quite a bit in comparison to Beats, higher-priced Sennheiser's, and so on, they're good value for the money. First I would like to briefly discuss sound quality, the quality of the sound compared to the standard iPod earphones are a bit better and sometimes even a little more depth. Compared to the standard earphones, these are pretty solid. When you listen to any song, you can occasionally hear background instruments or percussion very well, this can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the way you view your music. I tested this out on quite a few genres; Hip Hop, rock, ambient, slow rock, rap, and a few others. I have to say I'm not taken aback by the sound quality itself, but it's not disappointing for the money you've pay for it. I also use these headphones when I'm on the computer; I've watched a few interviews online and it's interesting what background noises these headphones pick up. I tend to better hear the background noise during an interview (such as cars and buses and pedestrians) than the ongoing interview. Personally, it's not a distraction to me but I can see it being an issue for others. Finally, the earphone fits well on my ears, I'm about 6'0 and I felt comfortable wearing them. Although when I first put it on, my ears used to itch a little bit, but that's something you get used to in a while. After using it over an hour, I can feel the pads stick to my ears, and that can get annoying. Overall, if you're not on a budget, feel free to purchase more expensive headphones that may better suit your needs. However, for those who have are on a budget or just want a better alternative than the average earphones, this is a good, almost great buy. Thanks for reading.
