5.0 out of 5 stars #1 for Bang-for-Buck, November 24, 2009

I'm on my second set of these. The first ones I bought lasted a good few years and that was with me treating them awfully (shoving them in bags etc). So far my second set has outlasted my first.

The ear clips looked very sharp and frightening at first sight, so I just popped the speakers off, removed them, and snapped the speakers back on. Nice and comfy now.

As for the sound? I AB-ed about seven pairs of headphones. These came in second to a set of quite expensive Kenwood headphones. I'm actually quite shocked that headphones can sound this thick, this present, this clear, for $29.99 (how much I paid). The lows are deep and boomy, the mids are crisp and full, the highs are shimmery (maybe a bit too much sometimes, play with your EQ settings a bit). You can really hear each layer of music even if it's as thick as the black metal I tested them on. I'm trying to find a place where I can buy a few more pairs of these.

As with anything, test a few pairs out (if you can), and make sure you test these too.

2.0 out of 5 stars not comfortable and average sound, April 10, 2007

The plastic hooks that allow you to wear this behind the head are very annoying if you want to use these as regular headphones. They fit OVER the soft leatherette cushions of the earphones...which makes them uncomfortable to wear..I had to snip them off with sheers..They are a bit more comfortable now but still not a nice fit..Sound is not bad...not great...If you can get them for under $10...worth the money if you plan on cutting off an integral part of the unit..which will now allow one to wear them behind the head..

These are quite comfortable, great for planes and pc use, a definate good for the buck set of headphones, either way you choose to wear them.
