Review: End Plug Has Weak Design (Edit: It used to, they fixed it.) - [Originally (2014 February)] The headphones themselves are very nice, with nice sound, bass, and the phone-compatible stop/play button along the cord, but the end plug is thin and weak, and if bent too much, as can be the case with phone use, can break, resulting in sound only out of the left earphone. Such was the case after 4 months of use. [Update (2014 December)] Rather than search for a different set of headphones, out of laziness I reordered this and...found the cord-plug issue was changed / fixed. It's now a highly flexible rectangular cord that goes into the plug, unlike the thick round cable from the first pair whose plug went defunct after 4 months, which is perfect for it in phone-in-jacket-pocket. Also, this version is not as tight on the ears or head, and the sound...sounds better. So, awesome. :) 5 stars to the newest version, well worth the price. (y) Review: Not the best fit. - They work alright, but they don't swivel left/right (only up/down) so they don't really lay comfortably over my ears - as my head isn't cube - shaped. They're sort of raised away from the ears towards the front. I ended up getting some Sony's and giving these to my kids.

unsatisfactory
i didnt have any satisfaction with this product this to me was a waste of my own money and i wouldn't buy any type of electronics from here again.

Great Deal for the Price!
I bought these heapdhones refurbished to replace a pair that had broken, and I was surprised at how good the quality was for what I paid. The headphones are comfortable to wear, and the cord even has a built-in mute button. The sound quality isn't as good as the $30 headphones they replaced, but they'll certainly serve me well until I can afford a more expensive pair!

These headphones are the greatest at a great price
These headphones are the greatest at a great price. I can sleep comfortably in them and it drowns all loud noises out!!! I love it and thee only headphones that I want.

Japanese Headphones
These headphones are pretty cool bass sound, they stay on your head instead of falling off a lot. The only drawbacks for these is that the plastic phone piece is not glued together and will split also, after a while the jack part fails and when ever mine is connected to my iTouch, the slightest jerk on it will make the volume on my iTouch go to max. Oh and even though the box says that the soft parts on the ear parts are comfortable, they are but after a while they kinda put too much pressure on your ears and hurt. My final headphones will most likely be the Daft Punk Tron Monster headphones.

Nice mid-range though
