4.0 out of 5 stars Decent pair of headphones, July 7, 2001

You can't beat this price for simple, closed ear headphones. Labtec is a reputable brand and makes good products. These will work with anything (including computers and walkmans) and are great. However, these are extremely well suited for devices such as scanners and sound labs.

These headphones have good sound and are comfortable. Not too heavy either. Headband is well made. They hit all the sound ranges well. Dual volume controls are nice too. A stereo/mono switch is something all headphones should have, and these include that.

Here are two minor gripes that docked the review down to 4 stars. First, the cups don't close over your ear perfectly, therefore not providing the tightest seal possible. And number two, the cord is too short. Yes, it's coiled, but it doesn't uncoil well enough. I'd rather see it uncoiled with at least 9 feet / 3 meters in length.

Still a very worthwhile product for private audio listening needs.

For the price, these have to be the greatest headphones that I've ever owned. Compared to similarly priced headphones, the sound is verfy clear because of the over-ear padding. My only complaint is that the pads wear more quickly than I would've liked, but if that is the one downfall of these, then their quality obviously speeks for themselves.
