[MrJames123456789jame]

prik

[dreamstwice]

These are the best sound headphones you've ever used?..... I pity you... these are the worst I've heard. Boomy, muffled highs.... absolute crap.

[musicflowable]

Dj headphones????

[liamzuid]

@musicflowable Meaning that they are designed for a dj but they also sound good just listening.

[tenchufreak]

can you compare these to beats by dre?

[MrJonojono34]

you shouldn't use these out of your house the cable is like 3 meters

[talkpremjit]

are you a boy or girl???

[PivotParalyzer]

Slow Down Boy!

[EpicShotz75]

sennheiser hd202's i own they are my favs hve alot of bass and hve great sound but im looking to gt these but are they better than hd202's?

[Booklvr777]

i am so glad these are cheap. i just wish the cord were less likely to rip and that it wasn't so long!! :( p.s. are these comfortable for wearing 6-8 hours straight??

[abhishekkundu101]

can it be used for ipod??

[Thoughton77]

@abhishekkundu101 Yes

[Cruiserthewary]

Do you think these headphones will be good for drumming?

[DiegoDoesTech]

andtheyredjheadphonesbutimgett­ingthemforatrainride. The kids right, it's all one word.

[djdiligence]

mite need plug attachments but all do work on ipods

[djdiligence]

why does everybody always ask if they can use them for mp3 or ipod ofcourse all headphones work with ipod and mp3 players.

[indigocheese]

Voice is so high my dog died.

[01thrilla]

I bought these the other day, decent pair of headphones, but i expected more from the bass and volume itself, seems pritty low ! ive even altered settings etc on my i pod and phone, ive adjusted the volume on both my devices as well, but the loudness to the headphones, doesnt do a great deal..oh and the cabling is ridiculously long!

.Although in saying that the soud Quality itself, is crisp :) its good value for money and a well known manufacturer but overall they good for now

[carnifex714]

@01thrilla the reason the cable is so long because they are studio headphone and the cable needs to reach from the mixer to the mic booth

[GINOVIDZ]

Stressed out whiteboy with fat fingers

[FMORA1]

Why make the review so fast? you want to go bathroom?

[pokealong1227]

sennheiser's are freakin amazing. The cable is to long, thats the only problem

[robinjuste76]

Great sound at low or moderate level. Watch out for leakage at high level. Excellent sound quality. Great for the price!

[Intergalactiic]

idk why everyone says theyre really big. they look average size

[007slaney]

@Intergalactiic They are average really, for proper stereo headphones. Great value for money too. I recently bought Sennheiser HD555'S, and although they're better, there is not too mucjh difference

[J4YM5]

@007slaney

hey how well does it contain the sound in the headphones ( the sound leaking )

im thinking or buying a few pairs for recording acoustic guitars and i dont want the sound coming from the headphones to be picked up back through the mic.

would u recommend these? msg back cheers

[007slaney]

@J4YM5 Hi, they are closed back, so hold sound better than most. They will leak some sound at high volume levels, but are pretty good. Compared to open-backed heapdhones, these barely leak at all. Whether it will pick up on the mic depends on mic sensitivity, volume through the headphones, volume of acoustic guitar playing and distance from the mic. I would say they are as good as any, so worth £13 from amazon

[J4YM5]

@007slaney thanks for the reply, ill order a few now :-)

[duderme]

I got those yesterday. They are the best headphones I have ever used!

[AggaPlace]

Does it have a mic ?

[SpaceBluntBoi713]

do they have good bass? and are they block out noise?

[inTubeHD]

@SpaceBluntBoi713 I have them They Do Block outside voice....as far as Bass is Considered you can adjust equalizer for that...also in windows 7 have a bass Boost mode which with this headphones woof Killer bass. The Bass without proper equalizer is also strong and the Doesn't Muffles over all sound, But if u want More Bass then u will need to Equalize.

[Yoruboy]

Nah these are not good headphones at all. The bass response on them are VERY week. I don't think they are worth $30. When you are playing them with an MP3 player, you have to max out the volume on your player to get any decent sound out of them.

[james6801]

these dont block out a lot of noise at all. tried these in the car, couldnt really hear what i was listening to and had it turned up loud

[samobing]

These kill the bose???....you clearly cant afford the bose one!!!!

[Nebraskahusker23]

@samobing These might not but anything in Bose's price range will. Bose is over-priced shit. I would never buy any of their products.

[ryanahearne]

Shit review

[kilplayer]

im listening to this using them.. not the best though :P

[mallakralla]

does these leak sound ?

[GreneMamba0]

it will be got choise to quake iii, quake live ? od hd202 will be better ?

[MMProgramming]

Looks like terrible build quality

[Darkwalker1990]

@MMProgramming I own these and its not as bad as it looks, though i will be replacing them with some hd595's soon :)

[inTubeHD]

@MMProgramming Build Quality of these r better then your Cock.

[MMProgramming]

@inTubeHD Yeah thats why they sell for $17...

Why you use cock as a example?(u gay?) -.-

[DJGPR2]

I wanted to ask if the headphones have good bass & treble quality so they can be used for djing. please reply. (sorry for my bad English :) )

[KokoroBeach]

Nice review, LOL at the squirrel outside.

[estosjapos]

These are not DJ headphones and please quit caffeine.

[pokealong1227]

@estosjapos actually they are considered DJ headphones(hence the 3m cable + adapter)

they may not be $200, but they are still considered DJ headphones.

[Tranc3FL]

@pokealong1227 What are you talking about?

Just cause it comes with a adapter and with longer cable

doesn't mean there are DJ headphones =.=

[pokealong1227]

@Tranc3FL im aware, but those are two miniscule details that when put together with the other details of the headphone, cause everybody to come to the (correct) conclusion, that these are considered dj headphones, i just dont feel like listening them lol

[Tranc3FL]

@pokealong1227 U mean sounding muffled, uncontrolled treble rolling off,

with a terrible soundstage a DJs, then sure w.e.

Techincally they were for home, these are power hungry tbh

[pokealong1227]

@Tranc3FL havent had a single one of those problems so thats just you, guess quality of the individual product can cause different opinions between users

[Tranc3FL]

@pokealong1227Well yes, but it isnt just me that recognize the flaws, but then again its only $30

To need an amp to reach full potential these kinda destroys the points buying $30 headphones 0.o

Audiophile FTW.....

[pokealong1227]

@Tranc3FL dont have such high expectations then;)

they do a great job for the price, if you want some pro headphones fork out the money haha

[Tranc3FL]

@pokealong1227 Don't worry about that... Already have XD

[pokealong1227]

@Tranc3FL then its all good man, its all good:)

[rAmpAg324]

@estosjapos I hated the fact that it wasn't a real dj heaphone so Diy mine to Dj style...

[rAmpAg324]

@estosjapos I hated the fact that it wasn't a real dj heaphone so Diy mine to Dj style...

[farzshmarz]

U talk so fast!

[9v0lkan]

these headphones aren't that good to be honest... If your a serious audio listener then these are rubbish. for people just casually listening then they probably wont know the difference.

[marekm19]

@9v0lkan i know what you mean, but for the price of $35 dollars, theyre amazing

[DJGPR2]

@marekm19 i found them 15 euros.

[THEOBAMANIZER]

i have these they are good for casual listening....definitely not for audiophiles i would go with the Shure SRH240 or some other midrange Sennheiser headphones ...

[Jed9133]

im looking for monitor headphones and I saw this and looks promising but at the same time cheaper than the rest...

[Cdogpyjamas]

I got these headphones today. I will use them for a while before saying what I think, but so far I find it better that the sound is not so full o n in your ear as my cheap sony ones, and also stuff that is recorded at a lower volume gilbert and sullivan sounds a lot better.

[HvidtSkater]

do they sound alright with metal?

[Cdogpyjamas]

The closest thing that resembles metal that I listen to is system of a down. Yes I am very impressed with these headphones. They block out all sound well worth the money :)

[HvidtSkater]

Mad as, im gonna buy these XD

[humbert0acevedo]

Good review. Hey how many cups of coffee did you drink, you were like talking really fast. But yeah I'm thinking of buying some also for road trips, and the earbuds for school lol.

[xjmeex]

can it fit the whole ear?

[ShoRyuMip]

@xjmeex

Yes.

[xB4MVxTRIVIUMx]

@xjmeex yea it does...(using 'em right now ;) lol)

[derbigpr500]

Hey. I'm intending to get these headphones or sennheiser HD415, but i've read on some reviews that HD202's arent loud enough, and that bass is pretty weak, is that true? Because i didnt try them on. I only tried HD415, and those are brutal. Feels like you have 2 sub-woofers tied up around your head.

[ManuelDr]

Hey nice review dude I think I'm gonna get a pair!!! woot woot for meh!!!!

[podreviewz]

Great!! Hope you like them!

[ManuelDr]

So yeah I got me a pair of HD218s and the bass was great and they were very comfortable but they didn't cover my ear well and felt a little loose on my head and I was planning on riding my bike with them and I didn't want them to fall off my head while riding, so I traded them to my cousin for his Sony MDR-NC7s which do cover my ear entirely and fit tight on my head but lack of bass compared to the HD218s.

[sitadriver]

@podreviewz hey are they still workin fine ?? any problem ??

[stan67monster]

@podreviewz Nice Review, but those Senns could never kill Bose! I have the Bose QC3's and The Sennheiser HD 201S'!

[Rapbiii]

5 stars

[Milosbgg]

can i use this for my mp4?

[podreviewz]

Sure. As long as it has a headphone jack.

[myreviews13]

enjoy the trip ill talk to you when you get back

[podreviewz]

Thanks man. Talk to you soon.

[crps3ESA]

@podreviewz really? they killed the bose? cuz i am about to buy some bose around ear , but i have this other choice, and since the bose are 110 more expensive , i was hoping alot more quality from bose, but which would you choose??

[GadgetGurl101]

nice, they look good! I'm not a fan of DJ style headphones, but they look good! 5/5

[TheAppleiHelp]

nice 5 stars

[podreviewz]

thanks
