Good for the price

Overall its ok. I use glasses and I have to say that it becomes very uncomfortable after an hour. Sound quality is not great but it’s ok for your practices. I wouldn’t recommend this one for edrums though because this is an open model so you will hear the pad strokes.

Good cable length!

Great value!

These came as part of a bundle, and seeing that they could be purchased for £17 I was not expecting them to be very good...

I was wrong! They more than exceeding my expectations. The sound quality is good, and they fit comfortably (to my head atleast!)

Personally I don't think you will find better quality at this price level. I've had headphones that cost 5x more, and performance is on a par with these.

Highly recommended.

great for its price

Not really the best souding headset around, you can hear its limits at high levels, but for 20 euros it is great. It feels sturdy, it's smooth on your delicate ears and has a satisfying long cable with the double 3.5/6 jack.

I use it for recording and studio monitoring, it does the job and I'm pleased with it

Good choice

Clear, crisp sound, very comfortable on the ears and the head, do what they are advertised to do.

Nice!

it is completely worth it to provide decent monitoring to musicians, no need to spend a lot of money, I would not recommend them to mix or be your top of the line headphones, they are more for secondary uses, eventual reference monitoring for you and monitoring of musicians in your study.

Great value for money

I use at home for practicing.

Use with Line6 Helix for guitar. Perfect.

Also in combination with Millenium mps850 e drums. Top.

Good headphones for practice

I received them as a part of an e-drums bundle and used them for drums and guitar practice. For 20 €, it's way more than I could expect.

Pros:

These are my first circumaural headphones, and ears feel great wearing them. The sound is good compared to ordinary headphones from a department store, they also block external noises quite well. The sound is quite detailed for my inexperienced ear. It doesn't hurt to listen to drums or a guitar at a decent volume.

Cons:

After wearing them for two hours, I started feeling how they squeeze the head. An hour more, and it was outright painful to wear them. I had to stop my exercises because of that :)

But that was also the case with other (basic) headphones that I used to have before. These headphones are still way better than everything I had before for 20-30€.

Very nice for a low budget

I got these included in the e-drum millenium mps-850 bundle, and were surprisingly decent.

Acceptable for the price

I would say it has quite average sound, comfort and doesn't feel very good build quality so if you want something to wear daily for an hour or more perhaps invest in proper headphones, or if you want to save, fine, but don't have high expectations.

This is perfectly fine for casual use as I use my piano only occasionally.

Great for the price

I bought these headphones to mix when I was starting out, the quality is good for the price and they are very comfortable as well.

Very comfortable and good sounding, they are semi-open back so you'll still hear what's around you, which is good for mixing but not so good if you're recording a sound instrument like drums and need to monitor with music.

Another pro is that the adapter is those that screw on the plug, those are great and hard to break.

The only con is that the cable could be longer.

Would recomend for sure!

Nice headphones

Good for the price, nice sound and bass

It feels as cheap as it is (come on guys, look at this ridiculous low price!) but the sound is pretty damn decent! I got these from a bundle (I didn't really want them...) but after joking about it with a couple of mates we all got our mouths shut by how decent the sound actually is! If you're on a tight budget... you can seriously consider it as an option!

Good quality for the price, low lifespan

Bought it as I need entry level studio headphones for a DIY sound project.

Good sound, nothing too fancy but I thought it was good for the price that I paid.

Unfortunately, it hurt my ears if I used them for too long (5+ hours).

The cable trimmed down after 2 years of not so intensive use (I would say 6 months of intensive use).

Good enough headphones with great price

Long cord, 3,5 mm stereo mini-jack and 6,3 mm mini-jack adapter included. Comfortable and sounds good. A.k.a good enough headphones with great price.

If you're some sort of audiophile on a hunt for best hi-fi you're probably not even looking at these (and/or you shouldn't). For the rest of us mortals these are just fine.

edit: Dropped them last night and right side is rendered mute. Cheap price equals cheap quality. Lesson here is that you probably should not drop these.

good quality

Good quality and I really enjoy the sound I get from these headphones. Also, they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I would recommend these headphones
