Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
These are nice headphones for $20. If you're not used to "behind the neck" headphones, some may find them uncomfortable. I like them because they're held tight against the head, and don't let much sound out. Sound quality is good. Better than any stock headphone that come with "portables".

Strengths:
Sound Quality. Fairly inexpensive.

Weaknesses:
Might be uncomfortable for some.

Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $25.00

Summary:
I'm nicely surprise about the sound and the comfort. These pairs were a gift for my cd player and the sound is better that I could expect. Good entry level headphones ! Now I'm suprised how the MDR G82 would sound !!

Strengths:
comfort, portability, the ears don't come to sweat, nice sound

Weaknesses:
the bass is not too strong - but for the size, there's no miracle. after all, bass is not colores and over emphased. Medium a little uneven, highs a little weak that's all
oh ! another thing : don't wear glasses wit them or your ears will soon look like the Concorde's aerobrakes !!!

Review 4 of 8

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
Typical good audio quality I would expect from a pair of lightweight Sony headphones. I use them for practically everything from listening to music, to watching late-night DVD's on my computer, to editing videos, to practicing my keyboard synthesizer.

I wear glasses, so it is a little awkward wearing these headphones, especially at first. But as long as I don't try to adjust or remove my glasses while wearing the headphones, everything is fine.

I'd recommend these headphones to everyone, even those wearing glasses, but they will require some getting used to. Therefore I must only give them 4 out of 5 stars.

Strengths:
Looks cool, good sound

Weaknesses:
Awkward with glasses

Similar Products Used:

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.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

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.
