 A+ Headphones November 2, 2008
Jesse Stephenson (Kentucky)
These headphones are amazing, simply put. I had been researching headphones for over a month and these just seemed like the best quality for my price range and they certainly have lived up to my expectations. They deliver perfect sound and fit comfortably for hours. Also, they do not require a headphone amp for my Zune so listening on the go is easy.
Very nice sound October 18, 2008

I got these because I wanted a really good pair of headphone and I wanted some that didn't make my ears itch. Problem solved.
The Good: They have a rich, well-balance sound. I like these because of the open-air which doesn't hold moisture in my ears. These headphone also fit very well, no adjusting, though if you started dancing or something they might come off.
FYI: They a bit bigger than I expected, but they don't feel big because of the way they fit. The screen color is purple, perhaps not the most masculine of colors. I might end up taking a sharpie to the screen. Both positive and negative is that you can hear sounds around you. In a way I like it so I don't miss something, but on the other hand drowning out others is a purpose of wearing headphones.
Great sound, large, weird color choices August 26, 2008

I have been using these headphones for about a full month now for mainly gaming and music. So far they perform superbly and actually worked amazingly well before I bought a new sound card to enhance them. They sound even better now but not enough to justify a $100 sound card purchase. It took about a week to get used to the largeness of the headphones since I have a thin head but they adjusted quite quickly. My only gripe with these headphones is that they look dorky with their gold and purple color design. Who picks those colors for headphones, honestly?! It may have royal colors but they don't really look good with a black case, black monitor, black mouse, and so forth. Just stupid. Oh, they seem super sturdy and I've almost tossed them around a bit and them haven't cracked or made any sign of breaking. The flexibility to them probably has a lot to do with that.
Defintely a good buy and I don't regret the purchase but the color scheme is awful in conjunction with other parts of your computer. Oh, I upgraded from some $60 sony headphones that I bought from 2003 and it was night and day in comparison when wearing these, fyi.
 Great Cans! August 24, 2008

 Almost perfect headphones with a few unforgivable flaws July 26, 2008

Pros:
High quality build, good connector (1/8-inch with 1/4 inch adapter), long cord (but doesn't really tangle or get in your way), lightweight design, comfortable on your head, good sound quality (I'm not an expert on this part though).
Cons:
The headphones are designed to easily expand to the size of your head without putting much pressure on your ears. The problem is that you need a very wide head to even fit the minimum size. If you don't the headphones will slip off if you move. The have a very loose fit on my head and so there was absolutely no chance of using this with my portable music player. The bass is weak, but I have read elsewhere that it gets better once you break them in for 100 hours (I don't know for sure though). Also, the headphones have a lot of noise leakage. If you have the headphones turned to a comfortable listening level, anyone in the room will be able to hear the songs you listen to as well. They offer next to no noise attenuation.
Conclusion:
DON'T GET THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VERY WIDE HEAD!
