2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, If I'm honest. The midrange spoils what could have been a good pair of headphones., April 9, 2009

Because they retail at quite a high price (they've now come down in price) I thought that they would rival, if not better the c-jay, Sennheiser PX100/200 & new HD238, the iGrado, and Denon AH-P372 of which I own all of the above. Put simply, they're don't!

There is a reason for that, and that's the appalling midrange. It's slow and ponderous at best, which is a shame because the bass is good and the highs are well extended. Put into that the fact that the build quality and design is rather quite special, it's a shame that it falls at the last hurdle.

I good pair of headphones at a bargain price? Maybe. However, unfortunately the more established group will fly past them... which is a shame!

I don't know much about electronics but when I saw these advertised for a big discount (should have been a clue!) and I needed new headphones, I thought they would be good quality because of the original list price.

The sound quality is passable. I feel like somethings missing, it's not a rich or full sound.

The fit of the headset is uncomfortable, even painful after awhile. They don't cup the ears at all and the slide adjustment is too loose.

I liked my old $10 ones better but these will do until I can find those again.

I've never owned a set of headphones that I was totally happy with until now. These are by far the best headphones I've ever bought, and I was just floored by how good some of my favorites sound on these headphones. I just hear so much more.
