Good Sound. Terrible Fit.,

I am sort of puzzled by the reviewers who found the fit comfortable. These babies angle-in about 45 degrees. Most of the sound coming out of them is not directed into the ear but rather up towards your hair! After wearing them for fifteen minutes, they started to cut off blood circulation through my temples. Maybe if I had a larger, rounded head these would fit better. That said, I'm really not sure who these were designed for, but they are not going to work for me. It's too bad as the sound quality was pretty good for the price. I just can't justify a higher rating for something so uncomfortable, regardless of the good sound.

Stylish and Great Sound,

If you have hair like the guy in the advertisement (has a 'FRO), these headbands will sit perfectly on your hair. Unfortunately, not all people have such stupendous hair, and the headband will rest on your neck. This is uncomfortable at times for airplane rides, car rides, etc. But guaranteed, you'll find a comfortable position with them.
The sound quality is amazing, with extra bass meaning extra bass (meaning bajos adicionales). They're light, and I have used them for 2 years (with one replacement because I lost them once) and I'm like them. Time to time, I get compliments on the style.
The neckband is not adjustable.

Good sound, fit could be better,

My headphones died on me so I need to get a new pair quickly. I work in an office and the sound of silence drives me crazy. I just went into Best Buy and picked up the first pair that looked good. I will say that the sound quality is real good for the price. Like most people I am a bit puzzled by the choice in the angle for the speakers.
They aren't painful or very uncomfortable but they are just weird. They seem to rest at the bottom of my ear and the sound is directed upward. But with a little adjustment I was able to find a pretty comfortable position for them. I'm sure after a while I'll get used to them. My previous pair made by Cyber Acoustics would tend to press into the top of my ear and after a few hours use I'd have to take them off. But after a month or so of use I didn't even notice it and they stopped hurting.
So all in all I can't really recommend these as the best headphones out there. If you are interested you'll want to find a way to put them on...Read more
