Well, I was looking for a .... solution until I got my Logitech Z-540's (good speakers BTW), so I picked up these. Only 8 bucks, can't beat that price. It also claimed it has an added bass boost which gave it the edge. I figured "what the heck, they're only headphones" So I hooked them up. At the time, I was not very good with sound and had little expirience compared to now. They were OK, but I decided to review this again with a real analysis based on real speakers:

The headphones sound mediocre overall and don't produce a very clear sound or tone overall, but they get the job done. The "bass boost" is completely bogus. Even equalized, I noticed almost no bass coming through, and with a full-range sound test, I noticed that almost all of the bass range is gone and it really leaves the audio very weak and empty. Overall, the sound quality is poor, fizzly, and weak.

If you're looking for a good pair of headphones for a good price, these are not the ones you're looking for. I have heard from numerious sources that the Koss KSC-50's are a good pair and I intend to pick those up if I ever get an MP3 player for example.

Bottom line: Don't buy them.

...I bought these headphones ...figuring they seemed to be a good deal and claimed they had s uperior bass boost. Well, I hooked them up and they are what you pay for. Normal average quality. The bass was not at all what I expected. The bass is, in fact, very weak. Also, I found that after wearing these for about an hour my ears started to hurt. If you're looking for a quick solution with deecent sound like I was, these are good for you. Otherwise, don't get them....
