4.0 out of 5 stars Good Sound for your buck, February 4, 2003

I bought these headphones and was pleasantly surprised. They are very comfortable and the sound quality was better than you would think given the price. The cord is a little long for portables, but can easily be tied up. The extra earbuds that come with it, are a nice bonus, but their sound quality pales by comparison.

2.0 out of 5 stars Design defect in the cable plug, February 16, 2007

After having two sets of these headphones lose the sound in one channel I undertook to find out what was wrong. After a bit of dissecting I found that the problem is a defective design where the wires inside the cable attach to the stereo plug. Even though externally there appears to be a good strain relief at the plug this strain relief is apparently hot molded to the tiny internal wires. This molding process fixes the tiny wires to the internal wall of the strain relief and does not allow the wires to move when the headphone cable is pulled in normal usage. Since these internal wires cannot move inside the strain relief, the entire stress of the normal usage pulling is transferred directly to the solder joint where the tiny internal wires attach to the stereo plug. After a short while the internal wire breaks at the solder joint thus losing that channel.

This is a problem that cannot be easily fixed. If you have these headphones you should take special care to avoid pulling or stressing the cable near the stereo plug. Or maybe just do not go there in the first place...

save your bucks from this poor quality product. I bought it @ walmart and one side couldn't work just after one month of use. I would recommend on sony or panasonic.
