Pleasantly surprised (and amazed)
Let's just get right down to the point. I've owned $70, $99, and $135 headphones from all sorts of high end manufactures. They were all awesome headphones. I use them really often and end up going through a new pair every year. This time though, I was a little short on cash (moving expenses and the like), so I decided to do a ton of research on Amazon to find a suitable pair for a lot less cost. The ratings here speak for themselves. Don't let the very few negative reviews sell them short. At such a low price point, and despite all the high reviews, I wasn't expecting much. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. I had to switch to the included larger size tip and the sound isolation is just incredible. Now the real challenge will be to see how long they end up lasting, but for now, I've very happy.
Edit: It is July, 2012 and the headphones stopped working a few days ago. So these lasted a total of 7 months with very heavy use. I am impressed actually. As stated earlier in this review, I was going through a new pair of expensive headphones every year before buying these. Even though these lasted just over half a year, I am still very happy. I just purchased a replacement pair, this time in white.
