5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic headphones, December 29, 2006

By	The Rev "---They called me the Reverend when ... (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews

I've owned a pair of these for about 5 years now, both at my desk at work and while walking. Most people either put up with substandard performance of the ones that come with their music device, or buy a set of $20 headphones and are happy with the mediocre sound. I bought these for the sound quality, and haven't been disappointed. They sound _great_. The sound rivals anything under $70-$80 (especially if you like rock), has plenty of bass and good response overall. These even sound better than the Bose noise-cancelling headphones, though that's not saying much.

My one complaint would be that I use mine so much that I've managed to break off the plastic covering the wire solder, and have had to get (free) replacements. Buy a pair, hook em up to your CD/tape/mp3 player, and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgot How Great These Are, October 22, 2007

By	A. Phillips Jr. (east point, georgia United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had a pair back in High School in the 80's used with a Walkman. These are very lively compared to Sennheiser PX 100's. If you prefer classical music then I would go with the PX 100. From Pop, Hip-Hop, Jazz and Rock these are the best for sound and definitely price for Ipods and MP3 players. I thought about a pair of Grado SR60's but these were much cheaper and more portable. Who wants to walk around with a six foot cable? Trust me guys, these are the one to buy. They bring out the passion in your music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meets all my needs, June 27, 2007

By	FatherNurgle (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I've had mine for 2 years, use them exclusively for my laptop when everyone in the house is asleep and I want to play a game or listen to a radio stream, mp3s or youtube. These rate a 5 on comfort, which is my main concern. I can't legitimately comment on the sound, since I'm no audiophile, but I've never noticed any problem with the sound. They're not really "noise-cancelling," but that's good for me...I need to hear the baby monitor. I'll probably buy a second pair for the office.
