Product Description

YOYO foldable headphones feature neodymium drivers that deliver rich, powerful audio. Their soft construction provides comfort on a higher plane. No heavy metal structure is so flexible that I t molds to your cranium, so they're incredibly easy on your ears and head. They come in a tough little carrying case that you can wrap the cord around yoyo-style.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't fit my small head, January 13, 2005

As other reviews have said, the bass sucks, but my biggest issue is that they are not adjustable for size, and they keep slipping off my ears because of the flexible nature of the design; especially when I'm on the treadmill, I can't keep them over my ears.

I still own my old pair of Sony over-the-ear headphones, and I thought the Oyoyos would be a good replacement, but now I have to use the Sonys at the gym and the Oyoyos on the train.

Deccent sound at modest volumes but a mess at higher volumes, particularly the base. What's worse however is the fit, they pop off at any movement and dont block out ambient noise-not very useful at the gym for example. Altec can do better.

Been using my x-mas present for a week now. Totally hated these things from the start but said I'd give them a week. In that time I've come to love these things for the awesome sound they give to vocals.

Played Alison Krauss through them and it's like heaven, crisp, clean, the breathy raspy quality of her voice detail shines through. I'd only recommend these for acoustic guitar type recordings, vocals, spoken work (books on tape). There's a great spacial quality, like the headphones are further away from your ears than they really are. Very dynamic.

However, there is ABSOLUTELY NO BASS. Sounds like plastic-like thuds that don't really amount to anything. There is no depth. It's like the person singing is right there in the same room as you, it's that clear. But it's like the person with the drums is in the next room with the door closed. What's up with that? Bizzare that headphones could be so bi-polar. I would not recommend buying these to anyone. Since I can't take them back, I'll reserve them for listening to Alison.

Buy at your own risk.
