Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Headphones
Review: This little baby rocks my world. Comfortable, portable, good sound, good bass, good looks. What more can I say.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just WOW!
Review: This pair is simply amazing... I never thought I could get this kind of quality with just 30 bucks, but now I do. I'm not giving it a 5 star rating because there are still better headphones out there, just none under the [X] tag (I checked ^_^). Also, I'm not so sure about how long it'll last if I continously fold and unfold it, but I don't need to worry about that much since it's on my head whenever it's with me. Its hinges are metal reinforced and very sturdy and the structure in general is amazingly durable compared to other headphones. If you're looking for a new set and you don't happen to be a DJ, then this is exactly what you're looking for.

Summary: Not bad for the price.
Review: This pair of headphones is good value for the money. For those that complain about its tinny sound with no bass at all: When I first got this cans, I felt exactly the same way. Tinny sound, no bass at all. Basically I wasn't impressed at all. But that was before I gave them a burning in session. NO, I don't mean lighting your phones on fire but rather, playing them at above average volume for one or two days continously. Try leaving them with the cd player on repeat mode, at above average volume for 24-48 hours. But be careful not to turn the volume to the max, might spoil the phone. Use any kind of music you want. This loosens up the drivers of the phones. The phones will be able to respond better to sound/music from the audio source. Try listening to your phones after you've done the burning in session. You'll definitely notice a difference :D

Summary: Great Headphones, Great Price
Review: Wow. These are seriously great headphones. Music quality is well rounded and can handle all the bass your CD player can pump out, and still catches all the higher notes right on. As for overall comfort and ergonomics, they fit pretty well, but if used for hours on end can get a tad bit sore on the tips of the ears. Looks are pretty stylish, maybe a little too much for some, but I found looking like a Jetson to be quite enjoyable. Overall great sound quality and durability (these things are built to last, mine have only developed a few tears in the ear pads due to large amounts of use, nothing serious) and if you are looking for a great closed ear style headphone, this is your best bet. Eaisly matches up to higher priced compedators. Go buy them. Now.
