Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $16.00

Summary:
At total, it's a good buy.

Strengths:
Very good volume and sound quality.

Weaknesses:
You listen and everybody in a radius of one mile listen with you. In three months or so, the pading comes out and wearing the set becomes really uncormfteable.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $15.00 from Online store, don't remember exactly

Summary:
Bought them because I was looking for a cheap pair of headphones for gaming on my computer and some music listening, and had a friend with them who loved them, suggested them to me. I couldn't find them at any store as I was looking for these in 2000, and if the guy who put the post above is right, they were 2 years old by then. So I found them online for about $8, with about $7 shipping and handling. They are great headphones, but I don't keep the cord wound up when I use them, so I keep stretching the cord when I'm on my computer and I shift positons in my chair, so I'm currently looking for online place to buy another pair. I'm not even going to bother with looking for a different pair, I love these too much. I would suggest them pretty much to anybody looking for open-air headphones, but then again people who need perfect sound will probably want some studio-class ones, cause I doubt they are that good (but good enough for Quake 3 and Offspring :) )

Strengths:
Strong sound, surprisingly good for blocking out minor sounds despite open air design, long cord.

Weaknesses:
Bad ear cloth/foam.

Similar Products Used:
Nothing, cause as soon as I found them, I didn't bother with anything else.

Review 3 of 3

Summary:
These are good headphones and are an extremely good value, i bought these freaking things for $10 bucks!!!!! They work great even at high volume but without a bass boost. I recomend replacing the ear cloth because they may bother your ears after a few hours, they make extremely good headphones to take along on a long car ride.

Strengths:
Very good headphones, will not distort music at high levels without bass boost.

Weaknesses:
Bad speaker cloth, it hurt my ears after five hours so i put on some other ear covers that were bigger.

Similar Products Used:
tons of stuff

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
