Best headphones ever.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I just got these outta the box and plugged them in for the first time and wow... I won't be using my 5.1 for quite some time. I actually thought my speakers were still playing in the background when I started playing a song... thats how powerful the bass is. Everything else sounds perfect too.

Cons: NONE.

Other Thoughts: I'm pretty sure I just got the best headphones for an awesome price. I have owned so many headphones prior to this purchase that arent' even worthy of being compared to these. Also always gotta give props to newegg for having them at my door right on time as always.

Pros: Seriously amazing sound. I've heard of people saying that there's too much bass in these, they're somewhat true. However it's not so bad that you can' hear great sound out of it! They're also very durable too, I've had this pair for at least 4 years and the worst that's happened was the insulation came off a bit on the cable once - nothing a quick and cheap replacement cable couldn't fix.

Cons: Long cord is a bit annoying if you use it for a portable device (have to, too poor to get a pair of decent canalphones). Also they get uncomfortable after a half hour; My ears warm up and the way it's designed is that it lays on your ears. Makes for very uncomfortable ears. If it wasn't for that, they would have gotten 5 eggs out of me.

Other Thoughts: Great for games and movies, not so great for music that isn't bass-heavy. Likely the best >$50 pair of headphones you can buy.

Great Headphones

Reviewed By: Packetgod on 11/23/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Very strong bass, super comfortable, blocks out ambient noise, closed design helps prevent others from hearing your music and very durable

Cons: Perhaps too much bass? Cable broke after only 4 years of use :)

Other Thoughts: These are great headphones, I came back to new egg looking for a replacement cable as mine finally failed after 4 years *hard* use. I use these everywhere, in the cubical they help keep others from hearing me and me form hearing them, on the airplane they block out the airplane any neighbors, and at home they make movies sound amazing (especially ones with explosions).

Great sound from such a cheap pair of headphones, while not as precise as other more expensive ones these have a great range and amazing bass. Perhaps too much bass but I can help that just by toning down the bass in the EQ. I listen to every type of music on these, techno and rock are great on them and classical is quite acceptable. Country still sounds bad.

Just excellent

Pros: These headphones deserve their 5 star average. I have owned this pair of headphones since the early 2004. I remember trying out at least 6 or 7 different sets of headphones ranging from $50 to about $150, and took them all back before finally deciding on these. I was blown away back then, and still am to this day. They can put out loads of clean bass if that is what you desire (did my fair share of this when I was younger...), but offer a relatively flat sound without any sound enhancement. Very clear bass, decent midrange, warm highs. I haven't listened to Sennheiser's $300+ phones, but I don't think you can get much better than this in this price range.

Cons: Can be a bit uncomfortable if worn for several hours on end, but for me all it takes is a slight readjustment to let my ears air out. I don't wear them for several hours at a time very often, so for me it isn't a large con.

Other Thoughts: Owned for 5+ years, still original wires, earcups, everything. That's durability, especially considering how often they've been thrown in the bottom of backpacks, worn in the rain, left in the car in the winter, etc. The wires plug into the earcups, meaning if you break the wire, all you have to do is get a new set of wires. These also don't require insane amounts of power to drive, as my Zune 80 easily drives them and they sound fantastic to boot.

cable issue

Reviewed By: on 9/4/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: like everybody saying.....

Cons: the cable on the right side can't survive for more than a year like some one already pointed out, so, enjoy it for 3 years(2 years warranty) and get something else.

Other Thoughts: extremly long cord, 10 foot i guess.
