Labtec LT-835 COMPUTER HEADPHONE 9 ( LT-835 )

Rating:
Summary: Good, long-lasting headphones
Review: I bought these headphones on a whim just before Christmas 1999, and have used them up until about three days ago (July 14th, '04), when the clip holding the left cup finally broke. I'm quite sad to see them go. The sound quality is excellent. (Some headsets can play lower frequencies, but they're outside the range of human hearing and cut out of compressed music anyway.) While they're not noise-cancelling, they do a reasonable job of keeping my music in and background noise out, except on a noisy school bus. The 9' cord is long enough to attach to an iPod or Discman in the middle of a bedroom floor while doing whatever, wherever in the room; or sitting back and watching movies at the computer. Overall, the set is well-padded, though like any headphones they can start to get uncomfortable after a couple hours. One small problem I had was that the plasticky stuff on the pad on the left cup started tearing off a couple years ago, but that didn't make them any less comfortable. Overall it's a great set of headphones. If I had the money, I'd definitely be replacing this pair with another before they go out of stock.
