How good are these headphones for on the go?

I agree with Bruce Hudgens. The cushions don't surround the entire ear, and provide that extra resistance to being knocked off the head and onto the pavement. Being monitor headphones, I bought them for listening at home and recording. They sound great and are comfortable.

Active I would say not good... Just walking around I would say ok. I wanted more of an over the ear headphone but the speakers and cushions on these are smaller... Cord is pretty long so you will have to stow excess.

It depends what you are looking for in a headphone. I can tell you that if you want portability, build quality, relatively balanced sound signature, and great sound quality (compared to its class), then you will likely be very happy with these. However, if you want something with a good soundstage and clarity, you should probably look at open-back headphones from Grado or Sennheiser.

They sound great with my tiny Sangean DT-210 shirt-pocket radio. It has rave reviews for FM sound quality (look it up) and runs on just two AAA batteries. Since that little radio can drive these high-efficiency headphones nicely, I think nearly anything could.

I can't say since I've used them only for listening to vinyl or CD's for an hour or two at each sitting. I believe that for a closed pad style phone they are very comfortable but I am thinking back to the days of the heavy closed phones by Koss or Superex which were very uncomfortable. What is your priority; good sound or comfort? If comfort is your priority you might want a smaller semi-closed type headphone. If you can compromise these are a fine choice. As others have said, expect these to improve in sound - a more balanced response - over time.

That is the reason I bought these headphones. They work great for riding. The combination of great sound plus the noise canceling buds make for an enjoyable long distance ride!

I have had these headphones for about a year and have walked a few times with them on. I have not experienced problems

It depends on what you are going to use them for. I live in the city which is pretty noisy, trains cars etc but I wanted headphones that I could hear around me. So their not noise cancelation. I haven't had a lot of headphones so, I can tell you this. They don't have more bass then the zik parrots or beats. Most likely they're like a low kind of bass headphones. I use it for my nexus 5 & they don't have a lot of bass but when I use them for my galaxy tab 3 they have bass. But with these I can say they changed my taste in music. I listen to more live bands now. Before it was a lot of hip hop

They are good for movies, music, and games. The mic quality is ok. However, they are not the most comfortable headphones, but if you wear them over a hoodie then problem solved.

Yes sir/maam they are comfortable and super light and cheap. I walk on a trail with them on,I drive with them because dj's talk to much. I am a music addict, no patience for commercials. I plug these headphones into my ipod and they are perfect for me. Jon M. Little Elm,Texas

They sound great for anything. I don't really use them, but my teenaged son wears them for hours on end, so they've got to be reasonably comfortable. The ear cup is deeper, and the phones lighter, than the old Koss Pro4AA, which has always been my standard for great sound

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

They are indeed good headphones for listening and travelling, but I would not recommend them for running.

Having tried on only a portable MP3 player (iPhone 3gs) and not a tablet, I will say that they definitely get loud enough. I will typically listen on 3/4 max volume to drown out all background noise around me.

7.They are a good pair of cheaper headphones, which come with a nice case and are REALLY comfortable (you won't find much more comfortable headphones), but the sound quality is mediocre and the build quality is plasticky.

I've used these on a ten hour flight and they were really good ( but I was in front of the wings, however close to three babies) Sorry I can't compare to active noise cancelling headphones.

I think you get what you pay for. I own a pair of Bose Quietcomfort 15 ($300) and use them for work travel. They sound great and are really comfortable for prolonged periods of time. Much better than the Beats Executive model (also $300). Bought my wife the Sony Noise Canceling Headphones ($150) from Costco and she really likes them but doesn't wear them for long. My kids actually have the Sony MDRZX300 and they sound pretty good. Once you adjust them properly, I think they feel fine. Sorry for the long winded response.

They're not the actual noise canceling-type headphones which are more expensive, but I can use them on a plane and block out the noise and it does dull any outside noises A LOT so they should work just fine.Case in point: I play music to go to sleep with these headphones, and I slept through a burglar alarm going off in the apartment I was staying in (the cat set it off). I blame the headphones. Whoops...
