5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing for the price, July 6, 2009

By	M. Lifshits (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the money, these "little" wonders are as good as it gets. After about 100 hours, their true character comes out - clean mids and highs, great soundstage, and visceral bass

Pros:
-Sound incredible for the money; can compete with MANY much higher-priced phones, especially of the boutique variety (Bose, Skullcandy, etc)
-Comfortable for long stretches
-Don't require a dedicated amplifier (but can still benefit from one)
-Simple, functional, and durable design

Cons:
-Pleather earcups get quite hot; not unique to these but rather a characteristic of all closed and semi-closed headphones with pleather cups

Other thoughts:
-Quite large. These compete with the Everglide S500's for being the biggest cans I own
-These aren't true closed phones. As such, they do not provide the isolation you may expect

Final thought:
-If you only have $50 to spend on full-size headphones, there is simply no point in looking any further. They aren't just great for the money. They are just plain great.

I'm not really an die-hard audiophile, but when I heard that these were known as the "poor-man's Audio Technica ATH-AD700", I thought, why not?

Well, I'm not saying that it compares (since I'm pretty much a newb at that distinction), but I have to say these are the best sub-$50 headphones that I've bought, and I've bought a lot of them. After a good week of burning it in, going through my sizable music library, and playing endless rounds of Left 4 Dead, it does NOT disappoint. The bass isn't boomy, but rather well defined and fairly clean, unlike the other cheap headphones you could find in any given b&m outlet. When gaming with the on-board sound, I've heard details that, personally, got me the edge in a lot of FPSes that I play. And I'm not going into how it was such a treat it was listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons with this thing on.

A word of warning: The pleather cups tend to get trap a lot of body in them, getting my ears slick with sweat. Also, I wouldn't bring this outside, since it's rather large and goofy-looking. But on the upside, they are extremely comfortable. Wearing them right now, they're not that heavy, and has a nice fit to my bulbous head. Part of my also wished to have bought something with a built in mic, but since I could go to my local store and pick up a $5 mic, I'm not going to mark that as a con at all.

So, if you like an inexpensive full-sized headphone, go ahead and buy this. If you have a large head, then go ahead and buy this. If you're tired of buying the crap-tastic Skullcandy brand, then go ahead and buy this.

Amazingly sharp and punchy. Perfectly shaped ear cups. I can wear these for hours without issue. Music sounds unreal with this headset. Movies are great and these are the best headphones for gaming that I've ever heard.
