First off let me tell you that these are great for inside your house hooked up to something like a stereo but on the road they need alot of power to have clear, crisp sound otherwise most portable CD players do not produce enough power for you to have the volume any higher than a whisper.

But when used inside these are great value for money headphones and have excellent bass and the treble is acceptable. The sound is extremly clear and crisp but will deteriate with use. The cord is also a very good length.

One of the down sides is after much use of high level sound and bass the quality of the sound deteriates and there is a slight crackling noise which is ok once you get used to it.

But overall these are great headphones and i beleive this is a good buy for your money.

These earphones have a nice sound to them for the price you pay. My only complaint is the construction of the headset itself. The earpieces are better than far more expensive units I own, shutting out much more of the outside noise that is always going in my house. The problem is the headset itself. It is plastic, with no padding at all. I resorted to taping foam rubber to the top to keep from constantly scraping the top of my head. The size adjustors won't stay put, pulling out all of the time. So I had to adjust to the size I wanted and then tape them into place. There is nothing I can do about the tension though. there is no adjustment for the amount of pressure placed upon your ears so unless your head is the perfect size you will not be able to wear these earphones for very long without your ears starting to hurt. Because the top piece is such stiff plastic, you will not be able to flex it without snapping it entirely. This is unfortunate since even $3 throw away earphones have an ability to adjust the pressure on your ears. I don't understand why these don't. They would have been better off with the type of headset used in the Sony MDR-XD300. That frame looks to be far more comfortable than this one is, even if it would add a couple of dollars to the cost of manufacturing these earphones. The reason I didn't buy those earphones was not so much that they are more expensive as that I was looking for earphones that had a slimmer earpiece because I like to listen to books or music while lying down and thicker earpieces hurt when lying on them. These earpieces don't hurt when I wear them lying down because they are built slim and flat yet have just as much cushioning as thicker earpieces have.

Well all I can say is that I thought I was getting a deal but I was wrong, these headphones look and feel great. The sound is another issue though. It's a pretty hollow sound. The bass crackles and treble is low. I should have waited and got some Koss heaphones or something. The other reviews are pretty correct (the one about the bass cracking is dead on!) Consider something besides these wanna be's.

I recently purchased the JVC HAG11 headphones, and my initial impression is favorable. They are very lightweight and comfortable. The listing is inaccurate as they have 30-mm driver, not 40. I am not an audiophile, but for me the sound quality is very good. They do a good job at blocking/diminishing outside noise. Even though they are listed mainly for indoor home stereo use, I wanted a portable full size over the ears headphones mainly to use with my laptop. I cannot sleep on a plane, and would usually listen to windows media player (version 9 is great), play quick games (solitaire, pinball, snood, etc..), or just watch a DVD. I debated between these, Sennheiser, Koss and Maxell, and decided to go with the JVC name. I like the single cord which seems sturdy, but I am not sure how durable they will be. I do not anticipate heavy usage, but so far no regrets specially for the price (I will not lose sleep over fifteen bucks if eventually they fail, hopefully after the one year warranty). I would recommend if you want a nice set of headphones at a reasonable price. Thanks Amazon.

These headphones are real value for money. Very useful in my office as well as home. For all those people who really like to chill off, this piece is a excellent buy for its price which it is being offered for. I am simply in love with my JVC headphones.

I hate these headphones.

Get hax570s instead!

These have terrible sound quality and fit really weird. I'd just go for the HAX570s because those have so much better sound it is uncomparable. Avoid these, not worth 25 dollars!

Well I feel these headphones are GREAT bang for your buck, very pleased with my purchase and honestly thinking of picking up another pair for home use.
