The best

Ordered them per 2 for my studio. Very comfortable and an enormous good sound. The best at a ridiculous price ! 5 years ago one of them damaged an instantly again ordered 2. Still no regrets what so ever

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 headphones for a great price

I ordered them blindly going by reviews on this website. The only con IMO is that they stop being comfy if you wear them for extended period of hours. I use them to practice my bass guitar and for listening to music, and they work well in that regard. For this price, i'd definitely recommend them!

Great Quality For Low Price

These have been my favorite headphones for 4+ years. Love the balance on them and can't beat the price.

Great choice

Not expensive, great clean sound, the additional Jack is super handy. The fact you can pack them in the bag is even more awesome.

Rarely - a few stiches on the other side tend to move a bit but it's mostly because of the 'wear and tear' taken with the amount how much I use them. But still they don't lose comfort.

For the price and the product that you recieve - definitly worth it

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).

I was very surprised

I was very surprised by the quality of the sound and comfort. Some much more expensive headphones are of much lower quality than these. For every recommendation

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 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.

Very poor quality, save up for something better if possible

I rarely used headphones for a long time, and then I was fortunate to have a great pair of Grado open-ears. Then, when I needed closed ears, I got the Sennheiser SD280 (I think that's the name). Anyway, eventually, for whatever reason, I needed a new cheap pair of closed-ear phones and I plumped for these.

The drop down in quality was shocking. Tinny, piercing, and the sound seemed ... distant. Anyway, I highly recommend saving up for better phones if you can. If you're absolutely stuck, I guess they're at least cheap and seem to be well built.

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.

i think this is the best headphones in its price segment

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

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

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.
