3.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad, not that good either., March 27, 2007
This review is from: Elite-820 Headphones (Personal Computers)
Pros:
-Sturdy, probably won't break for a while, it seems.
-Design looks nice
-Nice, long, sturdy cord. The cord is 9' long, which leaves a lot of room for mobility.
-It'll stay on your head without moving much if you're wearing them while running.
-Blocks outside sound pretty well. I can barely here myself sing if I listen to music at a moderate volume. Also, others around you can barely hear the sound at moderate volume.
-Extremely cheap. I got mine for $6
Cons:
-Pretty uncomfortable. I just got them today, so I guess I haven't broken them in yet, but the ear cups press into your ears a bit too much, and are perfectly circular, which do not fit good on your ears at all. Also my ears get a little sweaty from wearing them for 30+ mins. I'd much rather prefer the $2 headphones I got from Best Buy like 6 years ago with missing cup padding - so much more comfort when watching movies and such than the Elite-820.
-Sound quality is average, nothing special about it. I can also feel some base coming through. For the price, I guess I can't complain about this, but I was expecting a little more...
Other comments:
I would recommend this for use when running or exercising or something, because they won't move and the long cord gives you lots of flexibility. For watching movies and such, look for something with a bit more comfort.
