Cons:
- It feels like my ears are going to fall off after wearing them for thirty minutes.

If comfort is no issue, then these are the best cheap headphones around.

"The best for the money", I got these to replace a pair of the same style that I wore out. The coverings on the ear pads just wore away, because I wear them while I work.

Those replaced a $... set of headphones, and I never noticed any sound difference, whether on classical or screaming rock. I did notice the 'phones were much tougher (the $... set sort of fell apart in my hands one day) and the "trackball" (actually a roller) easier to use. I also like the Mute button to check if I heard something without pulling the 'phones off.

Yeah, I'd like the earcups to be larger so they rest around my ears, not pressing on the edges, because I do wear them for four hours at a time. Most people don't. And for the difference in price between this and the $450 ones, I can buy a lot of CDs! The band over the head, because of the suspension system, is extremely comfortable. When you're wearing them, they look like -- a pair of sound-sealing headphones. Nothing strange about them. They just don't disappear like earbuds or some lightweight disc job that lets the outside noise stream in and bruises your ears fiercely.

Buy 'em! You'll like 'em.

"Good product, a little tight around my big ears though.", These are the best headphones i have ever owned, the bass is excellent, the amount of sound it blocks out is just right, but they just dont fit around my ears too well. After over an hour of use, i have to take them off for my ears the breath before i put them back on as it gets quite hot and hurty on my ears. Other than this they are absolutely perfect.

also, don't fall for that "self-adjusting" noise, they don't adjust, there is just a piece of elastic [like in jogging pants but weaker] if you have big head it will work for you but otherwise it won't. it'll just sit there waiting to slide off.

"90 day wonder", The sound on these headphones was fine, while it worked. It just stopped working after about 3 months of use. It's not like I abusing the product. I used on the subway for the ride to and from work. That's about it. An hour and a half a day. It's too light to use as a doorstop, so I guess it's now useless. I'd stay away from this product.

"Muffled sound", I JUST bought these phones. I am going to return them. I have major issues with their sound. The phones DO have a nice rich bass (as other reviewers state), which I generally love, but these buggers make everything ELSE sound (like all the other instruments and voices) is singing/playing into a styrofoam cup -- very muffled and flat. It just didn't have that "ring" to it or crispness. I tried them on my computer and through my receiver/stereo. Only if I cranked the treble to the max and dropped the bass to pretty low did it sound "fair". Even my wife agreed, who always shakes her head at my audio pickiness! I'm going to look for another brand or upgrade a few dollars-worth!

I *will* miss the volume control on the cord, and the "mute" button, though it only drops the volume substantially, rather than completely removing the sound. I won't miss looking like a weirdo in them. They bow out just above your ears. They were comfy, I will say, though I only wore them for 20 minutes.
