Labtec 980425-0403 Elite 835 In-Line Vol Control Headphone

Comment: Having using earphones all my life, I wanted to try headphones but I didnt want to spend 300 dollars. These headphones at first look cheap but they work great! Comfort and sound quality was superb considering that the cost of the headphones were under 20 bucks. However, after wearing it for hours it might cook your ears and feel a little bit of discomfort but then again doesnt every headphone? The only complaint I have with this product is the long 9ft cable length. It might be useful for those who have computers as it has a in-volume control on the cable but I mainly use these headphones for my ipod. These headphones are the best for the cheap price. So if your switching from earphones to headphones without breaking your wallet, these headphones are the way to go!

Comment: The headphones are very comfortable, even for a person with big dreads like myself. The sound is decent, not amazing, but you can hear good highs and lows. One complaint is the volume could go a little louder. The cord is nice and long. The headphones seem pretty durable. I have had it for a month or so and it sits in the bottom of my backpack with good deal of abuse. It hasn't shown wear or damage. I compared this with the 825's at school, there is very little difference. I think the 825's put out a little more volume and muffle outside noise a bit better, but they also fit a little bit tighter. The 825's might be preferred by those with smaller heads. For the money they are both a good deal.

Comment: Very nice headhead phones and very underrated... they have a nice crisp sound handling highs and lows and also have the volume control ...

Bottom line, its hard to beat this set of headphones for the money ...

Comment: Very very flat sounding. Even messing with the EQ in Winamp for 5 minutes I can't get them to sound "clean/clear".

I'm promptly returning them, oh well.

OMG!!! The Sennheiser EH-150 came in today that were going to replace the Labetcs. The EH-150 totally OWN compared to these Labtecs!!!! Amazon, please remove the Labtec Elite 835 from your line up, they are very, very, very, very, sub-par!

Comment: It is an ok set. It does its job. Don't expect it to block much exterior noise.
