I have never heard of the Berhringer brand until seeing its headphones in an Amazon Lightning Deal yesterday. In picture, the HPX2500 looked pretty good for a pair of twenty-something-dollar headphones. Seeing the actual product and using it for sometime, I deem it an excellent headphone for the money. I'll rate its quality at 8.5 out of 10. The headphone jack and cord use a lot heavier gauge materials then the competition. Berhringer is a maker of studio musical equipment. If you would like to know more about it, just Google it. There is a pretty informative article on it in Wikipedia. There is even YouTube videos about its huge factories in China.

You should be aware that because the HPX2500 is NOT a closed-type headphone, there is little to no sound isolation. In other words, if there is some sound in the environment, you will hear it. Conversely, others will be able to hear what you are listening, albeit at much reduced volume. This is called an open-type headphone. IMO, open-type headphones seem to offer better clarity. On the other hand, closed-type may offer more bass. What you listen to most should be the deciding factor in selecting open or closed headphone design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very crisp and comfortable, lacking bass / coiled cord, December 29, 2009

I have had these headphones for less than a week. They are very comfortable. High frequencies come through very clear. I noticed them distorting once, a very little bit, while listening to Blue Man Group. BUT it seemed like there was an excessive amount of mid-range frequencies in that section of music. There is very little bass response. If you "LOVE" bass you will likely be disappointed with these. Seemed to handle it fine when I plugged them into my stereo and used the bass boost. To my ears, doing that, really balanced the sound perfectly. As mentioned in other reviews they DO have an open back design so they do not block outside sounds and others can pretty much hear everything you are listening to. One of the main reasons I picked these headphones was the claim in the "Product Features" section that the cord was coiled. IT IS NOT COILED. It is straight, nicely heavy duty, about 6' long and the screw-on 1/4" adapter is very nice.

Overall: well-made, comfortable, and crisp sounding but needs help with lower frequencies. . . and a coiled cord, :(

I won't say these are better than 100$ because they're not i will say they're comfortable it feels like your not wearing headphones at all...i'll say the sound is challenged not great but good enough if your doing something basic with them...but definitely not for advanced listening...i gave it 5 stars because it is worth what you paid for and maybe a little bit of a bargain too...the ad says high definition and it's not really so...i will say you can hear a certain seperation that you can't hear normally but the bass isn't very good and the vocals seem layered in echo but you do get a good dynamic wide range on these things...so like i said it's for basic stuff like wearing them while you record or similar stuff like that but not the ultimate experience.
