Not the most comfortable. [Posted on 2007-07-27]
I purchased these from another retailer and later returned them. They do look cool. However, the sound quality is only average, and they are uncomfortable if they don't fit your head just right. I'm about average when it comes to head sizes I guess and I found the neckband to be much too large so that it added no support and my ears did most of the work holding the set on my head. This became very uncomfortable after a short time. Also, the ears pieces did not set well over the ear to maximize what I was hearing. All in all, these headphones are only average and I believe MUCH better quality and comfort (and price) can be found with a pair of KOSS KSC75 headphones. Which I've also reviewed here at Amazon.
Good for the price [Posted on 2007-08-04]
I bought mine at Best Buy for a bit more than what it costs at amazon. They work good with my Ipod and the sound quality is a bit above average. I didnt really have a problem hearing and enjoying what i was listening. I wish however that the headphones were adjustable to fit at your own comfort level. It fits alright though. I dont run at night or anything so i dont know about the reflective neckband aspect.
- Also its really easy for others to hear what your listening to. While not a major deal, but something to keep in mind. After some time of use whatever material the cord is made of starts to fray and come apart (just a tidbit).
+ Sound, reasonable price and durable.
So if your looking for decent priced headphones then these are good choice. I looked around for a bit for quality headphones for the ipod. Before not really finding anything that i liked. These are good for me for the time being. But i do plan on upgrading in the near future.
Very impressive [Posted on 2007-12-07]
I needed a set of earphones to go with my newly purchased MP3 player. I dont like earbugs and clipons arent comfortable either. I found these at a Rite-Aid drugstore, about the same price as listed here. I really wasnt expecting much, just something that was usable. Impressive! Very comfortable and good sound. I very much enjoyed listening with these and am glad I bought them. There are better 'phones at higher prices but these are well worth what they cost. Recommended.
Great Headphones [Posted on 2008-01-05]
These headphones are very comfortable. The cord is great, it's very long and it's not plastic so you can bend it all which ways and it doesn't ruin the sound quality. Very nice headphones.
great headphones [Posted on 2008-07-09]
i paid 57$.for a pair of headphones.
these are just as good as the more expencive headphones.
i like the earpads that are non removable.as with other headphones.
the pads would come off.then id have to replace the earpads.
i use them with my computer/mp3 player.
