Good thing for it's price

I wanted to buy a studio headphones, and chose this one. For 16$ they sound very good, i don't know what else to say. Couple cons are that i very bad hear my friends with bad microphones in voice chat and when i use headphones for hours, my ears and head are get tired.

Good quality

These headphones have good quality. You can hear people speaking around you, but they cannot hear what you're listening to. The shape of the cups is no very ergonomic though. The cable is long but I believe you should be able to shorten it if needed. They come with a jack adaptor and a bag.

Perfect value!

Still can't believe this was 20€.

Super comfortable, good sound isolation, good sound quality.

Good bass, good treble.

Cord doesn't start tangling up easily, has good length, and feels sturdy.

Five stars for cost versus quality

Ordered 5 sets for a community radio station on a budget. We're thrilled. The quality for the price is exceptional. Slightly cheap build quality and discomfort after long periods of wearing can be overlooked for the cost of the product. Doesn't really compare well to more expensive headphones but that's not why you'd buy them. Great quality for the price you pay.

Great for the price!

Extremely comfortable headphones with great sound across mids and bass. Good construction as well, so only wish that the cable was deplaceable, as this is what typically breaks first

Pretty good for the price

I use these headphones for my electronic drum kit and electric guitar.

I would say they are very good for the price tag: the sound is decent, they are durable and comfortable to use for longer periods of time.

Taking all into account it was a great purchase and I would recommend them if you're not looking for high-end sound quality. These headphones do the job just fine.

Very positively surprised!

I bought these as i wanted a cheap headset just to monitor things at night to not disturb the neighbors. Bought them specifically because i'm very used to wearing AKG headsets and love how comfortable they are, and these looked similar in construction.

I was not disappointed! Extremely comfortable like the AKGs, though not as well ventilated, my ears tend to heat up if wearing them for a while. As for the sound, i've seen some people complain about harsh top end, but i find the sound extremely pleasing! Bear in mind though: both the bottom and top ends are slightly to moderately hyped, so consider these more of a "hi-fi" type headset than any kind of monitoring solution.

How is that possible?

I have used many professional brand name headphones.

I bought them from curiosity.

I can't believe this pair has such a good sound.

I use them for recording because I never use headphones for mixing/mastering.

I use headphones just to catch any noise detail...

So I recorded vocals listening through them.

Every detail and vox tuning issues were revealed.

Clear,well balanced and detailed sound.

Buy them.

Great for guitar monitoring

I use them to play the guitar on my Boss GT100 at nights when I can not use a cabinet or monitor speakers. They sound great.

Just don't use them at work, or your coworkers will hate you because they are open headphones :)

good for the money!

Really useable as a monitor headphone. For longer listening sessions it can become a bit tiresome on the ears. But certainly worth the small sum of money for this headphone.

Used for gaming

Clear sound, in all gaming-related scales. Footsteps and remote sounds easily distinguished.

Can be worn for hours without ears becoming irritated.

Only after several years, the cable and pads started wear out.

For the price can't say anything bad.

Considering the price, they're a really great budget option for home studio use. Sound is better than most of the "budget studio headphones in 50-100€ range. Comfort may not be the best, but may be down to personal preference. One hefty great piece for sure.

Wow!!

probably the best budget headphones you can buy today. I use them in my home studio for mixing with my Apogee element. The clarity is unbelievable even when I’m mixing multiple tracks and instruments.

Pros: price, sound quality, clarity, robust construction

Cons: they don’t come with noise cancellation, and they become slightly uncomfortable if you use them more than 4 hours

Don’t spend your money in more expensive headphones, these are the best you can buy in the market today. They beat more expensive headphones that cost 10 times more.

Amazing headphones for the price.

These headphones have great sound quality and are very comfortable. For only 20€ they are an amazing buy. Also very handy that you can change from headphone jack to a 1/4 inch jack easily.

It was a present for my father and replaced his 30 year old earphone.

An extreme powerful bass (but not too much) for this price level.
