5.0 out of 5 stars Good sound and longevity, December 30, 2006

By	J. A. Filippazzo "Husky" (TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I owned/used/abused the previous model for more than 6 years and man did it take a beating. It worked flawlessly until the little volume controller broke open and one of the wires broke off. I decided not to bother trying to fix it so i found this set and purchased it. Aside from looking cool and good price, they looked even sturdier than the last model headphones (including the volume controller). They fit comfortably, cover your ears completely and are not too tight. Good, full, clean sound (better if you can tweak it), and very loud. I Use them primarily for games, as you can hear the smallest of sounds. Good for watching TV privately if you really need to (although the cord gets in the way). Owned them for 1-1/2 years so far and not a scratch. For the price its a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV headphones, May 13, 2007

By	David Tombs (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I am very happy with these headphones. I use them primarily for watching TV, and the long cord and inline volume control makes them well-suited for the job. They are also very comfortable and the audio quality is good.

The only downside is that the included 1/4" adapter was flaky and made the audio crackle, but I already had one. I would still say that for the price there is none better, so these headphones get 5 stars.

PS. Like other reviews said, the description is wrong. It does not come with an extension cord, but just one long one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just Make Sure You Don't Lose Your Receipt, May 13, 2007

By	Person "qazwsx34651" (across the street) - See all my reviews

Since most of the reviews on these have been positive, might as well drop my very quick, negative review into the mix. Purchased these for a cheap headphone to use with the television. Not expecting anything stellar or amazing--and I won't even start comparing these to my audiophile quality cans. Actually they don't even sound all that bad, fair bass, good mids, highs are on the bright side; good sound in general. The cord is a long twenty feet, and they are comfortable. Volume control is a nice add-on. Cheap too, you can go to your local Target and only have to drop $20 for these things. The only annoyance was that the headband adjuster moved around all the time. Otherwise, these headphones were great and served a purpose. But after some time I realized why they are so cheap; because they ARE cheap. Two weeks into purchase and the right channel dies. No explanation--I certainly wasn't giving them a hard time. Returned them and got a new pair. Two, maybe three weeks later, and the right channel dies. Again, no idea why these Philips headphones keep giving out on the right side, but two out of two pairs did this in about the same amount of time. I guess I am just getting unlucky pairs, since a lot of people like these, but I am going to stay away from them. Too bad I lost the receipt.
