And, by far, these are the best. If you have problems with ear-bud type headphones (which I do) you will love these.Also, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. However, this is about the 10th set of headphones I have tried over the last couple of years.
As I'm getting older my hearing is getting worse and worse and I hope to use these for learning new languages.Normally, one would say, "well, for the price, they're pretty good." Let me assure you. I've just placed an order for two more just in case they break sooner than I expect. You could spend much more and get much less quality.
I will start by saying that I just received these. Now, the catch will be, how long these last. This is where the price makes all the difference in the world.
I've bought wired, wireless, brand name, off-brand, etc. The sound quality off a Sansa Fuze MP3 player is superb (and that player doesn't have much oomph).I wanted something I could use on the elliptical that I wouldn't care if I ruined them after a period of time.
Prepare to have instrumental texture flattened out of your music into a sheet of generic pop. I tried these because the Sony MDRA101 pair I've been using for years were losing sound.I guess I've been spoiled by the Sonys. They provide generic listener friendly sound but not intimately close, multi-textured sound.I'd rather use the faded Sonys. In this way, it's hard to actually feel the music and get led into it- you're always standing before a clear sheet, wanting to get to the other side.Overall, these headphones are okay. The Panasonics, although much cheaper, are not a substitute. They do deliver crystal clear sound and the bass is there but the problem is that the sound can be clear in a flat way.
These little things sound better than skullcandy, gummy, and the walmart version of gummy, the marshmallow. being a teenager, I go through headphones very quickly(up to a pair a month or less). Don't hesitate on buying these things, you will not be disappointed. These things are amazing. Now, keep in mind, that I just got these, but I am shocked. The audio quality is AMAZING.
I have not used them with a top notch stereo system. My wife and I use headphones in a local gym while watching a TV mounted on the equipment. They are inexpensive and work fine for this application.
I have no complaints. The subject says it all. Headphones are light, nice and fit well on my head.
