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

I enjoyed these headphones while they lasted. They were very comfortable (for me) and isolated outside sound pretty well. The sound quality was also quite good for the price, and they have a long cord.

My problem with the product was the cheap construction. I used these headphones seated at my computer. One day I stood up while wearing them, and I was standing on the cord. Before I could react, the left earphone popped out, and snapped the puny wire connecting the right earphone. I know that this was 'User Error', but you would be amazed at how little pressure it took to break these headphones.
Because of the price, and because I didn't want to wait for a warranty replacement, I just bought a different brand locally for about the same price.

I bought these headphones a while back as a replacement for an older set. They are surprisingly comfortable, not to heavy and don't get the ears hot after prolonged use. The sound quality is good, about what you would expect from an inexpensive set of headphones. The plastic used is somewhat brittle. In the climate I live in, it can get very cold, which certainly doesn't help. I recently had the left band above the headphone as I was taking them off on a particularly cold day, so I'm looking for a replacement now. I would still recommend them. They're a good product for the price.

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.
