Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Maplin Electronics

Summary:
Avoid these headphones. They're comfortable to wear but sound awful. The sound is aggressive and unpleasant with harsh and tinny treble and hardly any bass at all. Turn up the volume and the sound gets even worse. Maybe this is typical of headphones in this price range, but the slightly more expensive Senn PX100 sound a lot better (but by no means excellent).

Strengths:
Comfortable to wear Inexpensive Long cord should you need it

Weaknesses:
Harsh, tinny treble Weak bass

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I have been using this headphone for my guitarcombo, so the neighbours wouldn't be disturbed, and I must say that when I put in my output from my effectpedal the sound is better then when it goes through my combo. I love this thing, the cord is very long so I can jump through my (tiny) room while playing:).

Strengths:
Great sound extra long cord

Weaknesses:
none that I noticed
