Would these headsets need to be "burned in"? The bass seems awfully absent...

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

These headphones have bass in a more classic sense which is accuracy, fast, and punchy. They're not like beats where the bass takes over the sound and no amount of burn-in will help in that regard. That said, mine have plenty bass maybe you have a defective unit?

Any good quality headphones require a burn in period. And I find the bass great. I am not a fan of sub woofer takeover. I like my sound crisp and clean.

There was a time where I would have been able to answer that question but that time has passed I no longer can.

I'm pretty sure they're just trying to make them look cool. They are good headphones, but I highly doubt I could throw them in a fire.

Hi tamara, I would totally not recommend these. Mine died, the entire left side just went dead. This is the second razer headset that did this to me. And please don't get me started about the rest of the stuff they make. If you want to spend your money on 'cool looking' garbage then buy razer, otherwise I suggest that you research professional audio equipment.

My father has no issue using them in any port that can be used by standard headphones. Are they possibly damaged? or the ports at the gym?

no this is not a known problem. However the wires after around 2 years do fail forcing you to buy better higher quality cables. Return them back or just buy new cables. I would be more pissed at Sennheiser about the wires but the cans just sound sooooOOOoo good that I could care less and ponied up the cash for some good wires.

These headsets must be plugged into standard RCA style Left and Right audio jacks. In my case I have a TV that provides these but you could also likely find them on a DVD player that was hooked between the cable box (if you have one) and the TV. Hope this helps.

I'd love to have a pause or skip on the headset. I often am working on another system via a KVM switch, and listening to the music on another computer with the headset. That is it, I really like them and they hold up well.

Mine Sound Like An Ear Piece!!! (2 Of Them) No Bass What-So-Ever... I Am Returning Them!!!

I didn't think they felt cheap at all. I thought they looked and felt like professional quality. I've had mine since June 2014, so about 6 months with no issues. Now granted I've basically plugged them in and left them. They get switched occasionally from game system to game system, but nothing like the wear a DJ would probably put on them so I can't give an informed response if they'd hold up. It seems like they would if they were treated with normal care.

I'd love to help but I haven't noticed this issue...admittedly I am not a serious audiophile..........

One more thing Nate these speakers need to be broke in not all speakers need to be! But these do 20,30 hours of mild bass so they get use to the box you put them inn. If not you'll risk chance of blowing them.

Please keep in mind these headsets DO NOT come with a bottom disconnect cord so you will need a cord that would plug into something else. If you don't have a cord you would need help with this transaction.

Before you consider it as damage is good that you test couple things: 1. try several 3.5mm ear phones. 2. Do you hear nothing or you hear but not good quality? If you pull the plug out slowly can you hear a difference in the quality of sound? 3. be sure volume are up, sometimes the configuration for 'headset' was low volume and you are not aware, just plug the ear phone and up the volumen at max. 4. play something in the phone while you test all of this, like play a song. be sure you can hear it in speakers and the previous point to see if you can hear it in the ear phones. If any of those works, is better to: 1. send back for guarantee service. 2. take it to a service place. 3. throw it and buy a new one... lol. good luck!

Count me as yet one more who, a-Can't use earbuds, and b-Has used these exclusively for at least a decade in spite of the fact that I know I will have to replace them in a year. I was willing to play that game as long as I could get them for as little as five bucks. Now that Sony has done this astonishing thing with the price I am no longer cooperating with what I'm pretty sure is a case of planned breakage. All in all it's a bizarre situation. *Nobody* makes a comparable product? Will certainly post if I find one.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

I don't game. But I can't imagine why they wouldn't be. I have listened to them during movies through my HT and while the SFX mixing is a little heavy handed, they didn't complain.......

They seem Genuine to me. I was slightly skeptical at first too, but so far they haven't broken or anything. The bass and clarity is very good, and I feel I can say that because I own turtle beach headsets as well and these I would have to say are slightly better than the turtle beaches.
