Review 1 of 5

Price Paid:  $26.00 from buy.com

Summary:
I was very surprised at how comfortable these headphones are. The open, lightweight style allows them to be used for extend periods of time, but they retain a full enough acoustic value that most music can be enjoyed. The only lacking thing is that they are limited in what they can reproduce range wise, I wouldn't recommend these for anything but casual listening.

Strengths:
Extremely comfortable, clear sound, stylish look

Weaknesses:
Lack of full range

Review 3 of 5

Summary:
Excellant for the price at $50. Good thing about these headphones is they do quite well with every different type of music including classical. But I believe they are more meant for the R&B to rock type headphone beacause of the deep bass. Check them out. Great for portable.

Strengths:
Bright highs with good mids

Weaknesses:
Overempasizes bass at times

Review 4 of 5

Summary:
These headphones are the most comfortable that I have ever worn. They also have a clear, natural sound, but they also have a slightly recessed treble response. That quality has proved to be a negative for me because some of my CD's sound dark on my new AIWA XP-V50 personal CD player (which also has a mellow sound). But, no $40 headphones (I paid $50) are perfect and they are a very good compromise between long-term comfort and good sound quality.
