I am so happy that I purchased this pair of headphones! I have never owned anything but the dinky 5 dollar ones before, and was sick of having constantly aching ears from the poor sound quality, as well as cheap parts rubbing against sensitive ear bits. These 'phones have changed everything. Here's the good stuff: *They have rich, deep sound, and block out or muffle outside noise. *Super-comfortable! They hug around your ears rather than pressing against them. *Little to no distortion at high volume levels. *Big bass - I have tested these guys with some of the bassiest techno I could find, and it performed exceedingly well. *The extra-long cord, with the mute and volume control within easy reach, are very convenient.

Now the bad points: * They are big, and they are clunky. * If you are in a hot room, they will make you sweatier because they cover so much skin. Also, people who are claustophic about things around their heads or faces will find this uncomfortable, and are probably better off getting a much smaller set of phones. * Treble could use a little bit of work. Very heavy bass at very high volume will drown out the treble, which makes listening annoying. However, if you are listening on a device that has equalizer control, you can probably adjust it to a more comfortable level. Also, this probably won't even come up unless you are listening to some heavy techno, etc. *They are heavy and tend to want to slip off your hair while you wearing them. No head-banging with these puppies on! ; )

But man, they are so comfortable! The sound is very nice; much nicer than I expected for the price. If you are looking for a comfy pair of heradphones that will allow you to really *enjoy* your music, try these on for size. Enjoy!

I've had these headphones for about two months. And they're a great deal for the price.

The sound isn't bad. The bass slightly drowns out the treble, and could be deeper and more clear. The treble itself could also produce clearer midtones. But again, the sound is decent, and the treble and bass can be adjusted with an equalizer. Also, the sound doesn't become harsh when turning up the volume.

The headphones are very comfortable, although they look a bit strange because they curve outward from the head. So the head winds up looking like an alien... They also have a long cord with volume and mute control. The long cord and volume control are convenient, but you have to hold the mute button down, as it doesn't behave like a light switch. Still, I often don't use the mute button because the headphones insulate well. So even if the mute button is on, it's hard to hear others. At the same time, you won't bother people with loud music.

Overall, in spite of their weird look, these headphones are a good deal for the price, and provide great comfort, decent sound, and convenient volume control.

This is a great set of headphones for the price. Would even pay a bit more for them. They are pretty big and are really for home use. I wouldn't take them out rollerblading. Good long cord, good sound, good volume control. Only complaint, I wish that mute button would stay down. It only stays muted when I hold it down.

I would say that these are a great value for the price. I like a lot of bass, but there isn't an overwhelming amount of bass. The treble is crisp and cymbals aren't pingy, they are crisp and precise. For the price of $14.99, these earphones are an incredible value. The treble is crisp, the bass is great. And considering I have a 200 watt infinity sub on my home system, I know good bass when I hear it. These earphones are comfortable and sound great. I use them everyday at school with my portable cd player, and let me say I am extremely satisfied with them. Considering I purchased these to replace a pair of $75 Sony Earphones, and I'm more satisfied with these, I'm extremely impressed. The only reason I can think of why somebody would give these a bad review, is if they purchase a pair of Sennheiser pro series which run minimum $150 a pair. These earphones have the best quality for the money! Don't pass these up!

I had a pair of Discwasher Headphones for a while which put out some serious bass and had an in-line volume control. These Jenson phones are from the same company as the Discwashers I had. The 40mm driver in these Jensons are 5mm bigger than my old discwashers. I just sold the Discwashers to a friend b/c he never heard such awesome sound on headphones before. These Jensons are better! I am so happy. They are at a DANG GOOD price, sound awesome, and have a great volume/mute control. I don't believe many heaphones can compare to this one especially for the price.

These headphones are a great value. They cover the full ear ear, which is a plus, and the volume control on the cord has come in very useful when you can't reach the volume control on the device you're using. The mute button is also a great feature (something you wouldn't expect on headphones at this price) but not being able to make it "stick down" can be a bit bothersome, still a great bargain!

good strong bass, clear treble, ok midrange. more importantly in this price range: looks really good and feels really good. :-)

I needed some headphones for my mp3 player. Since my mp3 does not feature manual volume controls (rather digital ones accessible through a menu), one of the criteria had to be that the headphones had a volume control on the cord.

Other criteria included:
- Inexpensive. I don't believe in dropping outrageous amounts of money for something that I will use only for my mp3 player at work.

- Sound quality. While I'm looking for something that won't break the bank, I want a quality set of phones that will give an overall decent sound.

With this in mind I came across the Jensen JF25's reviews. They were mostly favorable, and so I gave them a shot. For this price, you get a great set of headphones. They aren't going to blow you away, but they definitely do their job.

I believe I'm still in the break-in period with these headphones, but I can echo some of the other review made. The bass, while not lacking, can be slightly overbearing at times. Also, I'm not sure if this will go away with time, but some tones can come across harsh (but inconsistently so).

Overall, if you're looking for something cheap, you should check these out. These phones are not for audiophile elitists looking for a bargain. Rather, I believe these phones will fit the average listener on a budget extremely well.

After wearing these headphones for 30 minutes, my ears begin to hurt. I'm not sure if I'm wearing them wrongly, but these headphones press my ears against my head.

Because these are closed ear headphones, you should expect the discomfort normally associated with wearing headphones for an extended period of time. So, it's a good idea to remove the headphones every so often. However, discomfort shouldn't include causing my ears to hurt.

The sound is pretty good for the price. I wouldn't say it's great; my Harmon Kardon speakers are better. I use these headphones to listen to audio when my roommate is in the room.

These headphones come with a volume control as part of the cord. I don't use the mute button because you have to hold it down, but I just turn the volume all the way down if I need to.

Countless times I've dropped the headphones, banged it, yanked it when the cable was caught on something, but the headphones still work. The 2 meter cable is nice and long, longer than the usual 2-5 feet you usually get. My final recommendation: if you're looking for cheap cheap headphones with good audio, get these, but don't wear them for extened periods of time.

I JUST bought these phones. I am going to return them. I have major issues with their sound. The phones DO have a nice rich bass (as other reviewers state), which I generally love, but these buggers make everything ELSE sound (like all the other instruments and voices) is singing/playing into a styrofoam cup -- very muffled and flat. It just didn't have that "ring" to it or crispness. I tried them on my computer and through my receiver/stereo. Only if I cranked the treble to the max and dropped the bass to pretty low did it sound "fair". Even my wife agreed, who always shakes her head at my audio pickiness! I'm going to look for another brand or upgrade a few dollars-worth!

I *will* miss the volume control on the cord, and the "mute" button, though it only drops the volume substantially, rather than completely removing the sound. I won't miss looking like a weirdo in them. They bow out just above your ears. They were comfy, I will say, though I only wore them for 20 minutes.
