 Not Bad For The PriceJan 01, 2006
By Zorak
I bought these headphones for less than $5. Based on my experience, 'phones in this price range generally don't preform very well. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised to find they recepted fairly well to bass and treble with only a little static at the higher ranges, but I can't complain for the price. The ear padding isn't of very high quality - a little scratchy - but keeps everything in place nonetheless. If you're looking for a cheap pair of headphones with satisfactory sound quality, I definitely recommend these.

Well...Dec 24, 2009
By Diego De La Vega
In comparison to the other headphones I've used over the years, these are probably the worst for their price. However they get the job done.
There is an annoying twittering when you listen to music that has a lot of sound in one frequency suchas piano music, but this is not noticeable with most other music.
They are quiet. For some reason I have to keep the volume on my ipod much higher when using these then when using other headphones.
So if you really nead these kinds of headphones, which I do, then i reccomend you keep looking there are better ones out there, but these are acceptable.

 The WORST pair of headphones i've EVER owned!Nov 08, 2008
By CQ DX
And as an audiophile and audio enthusiast, i've owned MANY over the years, both cheap and expensive. In short, these headphones have a very 'veiled' and subdued sound, which noticeably holds back much of the music. Even for the low money, you can find much better sounding 'cans' in the ten dollar range. I have a cheap set of Sony's that cost me around ten bucks that 'blow away' these Maxell's in every respect... better and tighter bass, and more airy and detailed mids and highs. This probably why I found these on sale for four bucks at 'Big Lots'!

Great for my purposesJul 31, 2008
By D. Johnson
"Chi-Town Dale"
I have a half dozen different headphones that I use with my computer and MP3 player. Previous to these headphones I was using noise suppression headphones from JVC for my MP3 player. They work great but are too heavy and too thick.
I like to go to sleep listening to Audiobooks and thick headphones cause my ear to hurt when I lay on it since I sleep on my side.
So I needed a headphone that is thin enough to reduce the pressure of laying on the cup and soft enough to still cusion my ear lobes enough.
These headphones do the trick just right.
Being around the neck, I no longer have the problem of them falling off during the night like I did with my over the head phones. Having all wiring coming off of only one side also helps since I was always worried I would choke myself to death while asleep with the wiring on the other phones.
The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because they are a little soft on the sound. This isn't a problem when going to sleep since I turn down the sound anyway. But during the day they are overwhelmed by surrounding noises (which is why I have my noise suppression headphones). So they would be a tad better if they were a bit louder and had a sound control dial. But the ultra cheap price prevents that from happening.
The other reason for not getting 5 stars is that the bracket is not adjustable and is a bit on the hard side. Again, not a problem when sleeping but when sitting in a chair and leaning back I am constantly having to adjust the position of the bracket since if it is directly behind me when I lean back it moves the cups to the front of my ears so far that I almost can't hear at all.
This is another item that I don't see changing since if the bracket were adjustable it would increase the cost to make them and the bracket would not be as sturdy as this one is. So rolling over in my sleep might end up with a broken bracket. The one provided would be very hard to snap or bend.
So they are far better then the ear buds I had previously and cost about the same. Safer for my hearing than earbuds as well and light as can be.
A very good MP3 headset at a very low price.
