I recently tried buying new headphones but I had to return them and keep these over my skull!!! These are great headphones, and the price doesn't do it justice, these Headphones offer a wide range of frequencys it handles the deepest bass and the highest peaks, I have put these headphones through a workout listening to led zeppelin!! talk about range, you've got thundering drums and bass, with a wailing vocalist screaming at the top of his lungs!! this pair of headphones handles it masterfully!! Maybe not good enough for you stupid snotty "audiophiles" oh nothings good enough for me except BOSE blah blah blah, well you should give these a test anyways... I highly recommend these headphones!

These headphones sound great on my ipod. The mid lows and highs are crystal clear. On some songs the bass is absolutely booming but not too much. Great headphones would strongly reccommend for anyone who's not willing to spend 250 on bose triport headphones. Great product

These headphones produce an incredible sound for its price. The bass gets so powerful, that you can actually feel it. It also creates a very clear and rich sound. Hands down, you will never find better headphones for this price. It is truly a rare gem to be adle to get a nearly professional quality headphone for the amount people pay for basic ear buds. The one cord makes putting the headphones on and taking them off very easy. The cord is so long that you can set your portable player down and walk around a room without taking the headphones off. The only problem I find with the cord is that it tends to tangle. The cups are so large, and fit your head so well that the headphones reduce outside sound almost as well as noise canceling headphones. The only flaw I found with the overall headphones is that the edges of the material Aiwa used to comfort your ears tend to tear.

First, I'm not a hardcore audiophile so I guess my ears aren't SUPER sensitively pampered to only Seinhiesser or whatever, but I am a musician who plays 3 instruments and isn't completely ignorant or tone deaf.

Sound blocking: It drowns out sound REALLY well, which is awesome if you live in a noisy dorm like I do. If you're just wearing them with quiet music or no music, you can still hear what's going on around you muffled, but once the music goes up to medium to high volume, you can hardly hear people talking at all. Great for if you want to study or concentrate, doubles as earplugs.

Long cord: great plugged in at home or something, gives you mobility. Length can be slightly annoying on portible audio devices, but not bad. Just got to wrap it around your CD player a gazillion times, or bunch the cord into a ball and hold it next to your music player, or just let it hang a lot and hope it doesn't catch on anything.

Really comfortable: Doesn't hurt at all, even after hours. Easy to adjust, though I always keep it on the smallest setting because I'm a small person. Your ears get slightly hot after a while of being covered though, but that's just obvious and inevitable I think.

Quality: Great. But DEFINITELY play music in it for a while before judging it, let it break in a bit. At first, everything sounded muffled & gross and even worse than my cheap earbuds, so I was sad. But after letting it play for a couple of days, now it's EXCELLENT quality, and im really really satisfied! I don't hear any distortion. Im able to decipher lyrics in songs effortlessly that I've never been able to understand before. Clear base, good all around. I definitely think that these headphones are much better for contemporary bass/guitar/drum/electronic stuff & vocals though, than for classical music (especially strings). In the beginning, classical music sounded really muffled & awful...after letting it break in, it's gotten TONS better, so now, classical music actually sounds really good & clear on these. It's just that once in a while, violin sounds a bit tinny though, but it's usually fine; piano & other instruments sound fine. So in short, great quality! But if you listen exclusively to classical music or something, maybe another headphones more catered to that would be better, though these are usually quite good anyway and almost always sounds crystal clear; but if you're the standard contemporary rock/pop/etc music person, these are perfect. Phenomenal sound, I LOVE these headphones, they sound better and better every day.

Big: These are huge. I'm a small person, so I look like a total retard wearing them, but maybe they'll look okay on you. Random note: these are the same headphones that Natalie Portman wears in the movie "Garden State" if you want a visual :) You can wear them around your neck when you're not using them, but then you can't look down cause they get in the way. So maybe size might be an issue for some. Nothing major though.

Mute Button: Great. I wasn't looking for this feature, so its a nice little extra. It only mutes it when you have the finger on the button though...meaning that the second your finger leaves the button, the music starts playing again; it doesn't work as an on-off switch. However, there are levels of muteness, which is nice. Like, if you only push the button slightly, the music plays in one ear so you can hear someone talking more. Then, it mutes the music completely if you push it all the way. Easy access, no problem.

Overall, I highly recommend these headphones. They're the best I've ever owned (though I'm no audiophile), and are excellent quality, isolation, comfort, sound, and value. They're nearly flawless. My only slight complaint is slightly tinny sounding violin on OCCASION (it's usually great), its hugeness, and really long cord length which might actually be good for some. So yeah, buy these, they're awesome

For those browsing the low-end headphone market, these headphones deserve consideration. It a very powerful seller for Aiwa which is why it's still being sold about a year and a half after i bought them with NO alterations to the original product. That's impressive.

Pros

-Excellent Sound quality

-Easy Access Mute Button

-Excellent Noise Cancellation

-Very comfortable

-Long cord

-Great value

-Nearly zero force needed to adjust headset to head

Cons (nitpick)

-Too easy to accidentally hit mute button

I purchashed these headphones to replace my 2nd set Philips HP170 headphones that developed a short in the wire just like my first set.

These headphones are serving me well, and they do a very good job in drowning out sounds of coworkers and they are very comfortable. They also have a very long wire which allows me to move around my cube without being retricted to staring at my computer screen all day.

The sound quality is pretty good, but I think they they can use a bit more bass and clarity. Also while I like the mute button on the headphones, but I also wish they had a seperate volume control on both the left and right side as my philips headphones did.

Other than that these are very good headphones, and more importantly, they last longer than 5 months.

At $30 these are a real bargin.

I have owned quite a few pairs of these headphones over the years, and I can say that they are easily my favorite pair of headphones ever (I might change my mind when i get my AKG K701s next week though =P).

The frequency response is great on these headphones (5hz-30khz is an amazing range). They are very durable and feel very solid. They are also really comfortable.. the strap over the head has ample space to move and doesnt butt up against the bars above it. I use these headphones for DJing, and havent been able to find a pair to replace it. They are very lightweight, which is definitely a plus for me. I have used a lot of my friends headphones when I forgot mine and found them to be very uncomfortable and heavy.

My first pair lasted me 2 years until the cord got chewed up by my office chair. The mute button actually shorted on these, but I just soldered a bypass... these were actually the hp-x222 model. I have owned 2 pairs of hp-x223s after these, the first which I loaned to a friend and never got back. Luckily I had purchased a spare set and I am doing everything I can not to let anything happen to these now that they dont seem to be sellign them anymore.

Overall these are AWESOME headphones. If you can find a pair anywhere I would jump on them. AIWA PLEASE COME BACK!

I've had these headphones for about 2 years and they've worked really well. I've had no complaints about them until a few days ago. For some reason, sound doesnt come out of one of the earpieces anymore. This is especially weird because it's the one that the wire goes into, and the other earphone is working. But overall, really good, comfortable headphones.

I bought three sets of these, one for each of my kids. Two of my children are in college and love using these to not disturb their roommates. My oldest child requested these kind because the popular ear buds hurt her ear canals when she inserts them. These are comfortable to wear for a long time. My kids use them while studying and the headset does well in cutting out background noise.

I really loved my HP-X223 headphones- I thought the sound quality was great, they were great at reducing the noise from my rather annoying roommates, the long cord was super convenient for listening to music from my bed loft, and the mute switch meant I could hear people if they asked me a question. I arrange music for a capella, and I could hear the individual parts more easily on these headphones than on any others I own, including in-ears. However, less than a year later, the speakers in one of the ears has died! I'm very sad about this... however, for a relatively cheap pair of headphones, I guess that's the best you can hope for.
