Comment: These are above average headphones for the price. They are extremely comfortable, and I can easily tell that they have above average drivers for this class of headphone. As is the case with some of Audio Technica's higher end headphones, they are a bit light on bass as compared to Sennheiser or Grado. But the midrange and highs are clean. I bought them to use with podcasts and books, as I was primarily concerned with comfort. If you're looking for a superior music headphone in this price range, I would probably recommend the Sennheiser HD201 over these, but the Senn's aren't nearly as comfortable. I have the Koss KSC75's which are another notable budget headphone, and I prefer these for most kinds of music.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Headphones for the price. 2007-07-16
Comment: These headphones are exactly what I was looking for. They are lightweight and don't feel like a clamp on your head. The earpieces are soft and very comfortable. I can use these for much longer times than I have used other headphones. Plus the sound is very good. I like the sound better or at least as much as much more expensive ones. I recommend them for computer use and for the less fussy audiophile (like me). I reserve final judgement because I haven't used these to listen to a great source on demanding music recently.
