I couldn't tell whether the phones were any good because the housing made the headphones sound like I was listening inside a cardboard box. Hollow, terrible sound. I don't mean terrible compared to top quality headphones, I mean terrible compared to what you get with your average Walkman!

I was quite pleased with my headphones, which I purchased mid-january to use in my dorm room. They were somewhat uncomfortable with extended use (2 hours or so), but they felt pretty good, and I never had a problem with sound quality. A few days shy of the end of the year, the plastic on the un-chorded side split cleanly in two, for no apparent reason. However, for 15 bucks, AND with a lifetime(!) warranty, I still highly recommend these. I just ordered a nicer pair of sony open air ones, but these served me well.

what a [bad] set of headphones. ....and after about 1 month....the left headphone stopped working....and then i was too lazy to return it so i kept it for another two weeks and then the volume control switch started to malfunction...it wud shut off the other speaker when it got a lil high...and it was annoying..finally today i decided i was gonna return it...so i put it in it's packaging...and guess what...the left headphone BROKE off...like it physically detached from the uniti was EXTREMELY carefull with this pair cuz i wanted them to last for a couple years at least..but that didn't exactly happenstay clear of these headphones..they are "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE"it's WORTH payin an ...or w/e for a quality productsound quality was EXCELLENT tho.......while it lasted :P

You cannot find a better set of speakers for the money. I have had these for five years with no problems and they are still the same as when I bought them. There is a handy volume control on the speaker cord. Buy these and you won't regret it.

The sound on these headphones was fine, while it worked. It just stopped working after about 3 months of use. It's not like I abusing the product. I used on the subway for the ride to and from work. That's about it. An hour and a half a day. It's too light to use as a doorstop, so I guess it's now useless. I'd stay away from this product.

I was looking for some headphones to replace my old Sony MDR-V2s that were losing their foam covering. I wanted them to limit outside noise while not leaking the sound out to outsiders either, as I need them for practicing piano without disturbing my roommates. This is why the closed-back design seemed favorable.In reading reviews of other headphones while trying to make my selection, I found that a major problem with closed-back designs is that the sound resonates and distorts, making it sound like tin cans over your ears.There is no exepction with these. When I tried playing my keyboard through them, they sounded way worse than any headphones or ear buds I had ever used with it.To their credit, keyboard voices other than piano sounded a little better, so maybe these headphones would be great for listening to techno music or something, but certainly not classical.I shall be returning these.
