I cant believe how good these headphones sound for the money.....WOW!
I have a pair of more expensive Sony MDR7506's, and these headphones sound almost as good for less than half the cost. Dont get me wrong I wouldn't say they are neck in neck with my Sony's. However they do produce a very nice sound that is crisp. I would say the bass response is just as good as my Sony's. They do go pretty loud as well without distorting which is a nice bonus. How loud depends on the recording you are listening to though. The better the recording the better they sound, although this is true of most headphones. They are pretty light headphones so you wont get a neckache after listening to them for a few hours. Build quality is very good, I would say excellent for what they cost. About the only thing I dont like is that they do make you sweat around your ears because of the vinyl ear pads.

I think that even audiophiles would have to agree that these headphones are an excellent value compared to any others in the same price range.

If you are looking at these now and wondering, should I? Dont hesitate for you will not be disappointed. I sincerely thought that people were probably overhyping these things until I put them on my head. I mainly use them for listening to my ipod, however I have used them to listen to movies as well and they do equaly as well in that arena. I'm actually considering buying some of the other colors.

VERY impressed with the quality and the price! i can honestly say i have not heard headphones like these before! I use these when i am in a loud environment (i'm a DJ). When the sound from my speakers are turned up loud i need something to block out the exterior sound so i can monitor my second channell. [...]

These headphones are great! They just work. You forget about having them on. That's the sign of good technology. The wire is not too thick or flimsy and not too long. They block out just enough environmental noise to let you focus on the music without feeling scary-isolating. The only problem with these headphones is that they don't stay adjusted. You put them on and they slide down and are too loose. I modified mine by squeezing the metal slider wires together with a pair of pliers. If you squeeze them close to the bottom of each slider it will bend the slider just enough so that it tightens the adjustment and the earpieces stay put. It probably voids the warranty though, so make sure you like them before doing this.

Bottom line: these are the best headphones I've ever had as far as sound (better than my Grado SR-80s) and comfort (way more comfortable than my Sennheiser HD-280 Pros). Oh, don't forget to "burn them in": leave them overnight with music playing slightly louder than comfort level.
