Good sound, but horrible build quality.

Sound quality is good, I actually like it, but the plastic arms that hold the speakers break off sooo easily. Mine broke twice, one of them just becuase I put the headphones on the table. They're also not replaceable, so there's no way to fix it. I'd love to buy another one, but I can't do it knowing it'll be broken in 3 months again.

I've owned these for almost 2 years now and I agree with everyone's gushing comments on the great sound and especially the deep thumping bass.

But these speakers are definitely flawed.  Look at the reliability issues
of these Klipsch spkrs on the web.  My subwoofer stopped working and I had like a day or two before the warranty expired.  They repaired them and I still enjoy them immensely, but be aware of this obvious shortcoming.

Oh yeah, don't throw out the shipping boxes.

****Update  05/2015****  After the repair, these speakers are still kicking.  Obviously the repaired components are better quality than originals.

I bought the q-JAYS earphones last year after hearing audiophiles waxing lyrical about it.
I must say, I really loved the sound quality, and the overall fit of these earphones.
But after a mere month of usage the earphones just died.  For no reason, except poor build quality, the earphones started producing a faint, tinny sound.  And it never recovered from that.
I had spent $205 on these audiophile earphones, hoping to get at least a year or two of blissful sound, but it was really money down the tubes.  Think my $75 Sennheisers give me much better value overall - good, reliable sound for years.
I wish these new and hip companies would show some consideration for other people's money.  It is not enough to be the new style accessory/ a transient must-have equipment; it should be the basic requirement of high priced items to provide some build quality and longevity in return as well.

I feel very cheated and highly disappointed with an obviously much-hyped set of earphones. Its sound is certainly not worth $205 per month.

Nice Sound But Needs Bass  And poor built quality

Good sound, but bad quality.  It started altering the sounds after a couple of months and became useless.

I've been buying in-ear headphones since the first iPod. I thought I knew what good phones sounded like. I have a pair of AKG-701, Senngheiser-HD595, and the ATH-M50s, so I've head some decent cans. I've searched high and low for earbuds that sound good. Finally, I came across these, which are unanimously well-reviewed. I got them today. I found nubs which fit my ears snugly, the build quality is excellent excellent excellent, the 3 year warranty is outta sight, but I'll be damned if they don't sound a lot worse than my Apple iBuds, my Philips SHE9005A/28, and my stupid MEE EDM D1P (purple/white). Do these things need 300 hours of burn-in, or something? Because right now they sound like AM radio. I don't really want to return them, but it's a lot of money for unhappiness.

UPDATE: My apologies to the company. Their customer support was excellent. Actually, it turns out it was my Nexus 5 phone that was the problem. Many people reported terrible sound with that phone. Unfortunately, I discovered the phone was the problem *after* I returned them. I would order a pair again, as the build quality (and customer service) was the best I have ever seen for an audio product.

Sound quality is above and beyond for the price. However, after 2 months of use, the left earpiece has problems with delivering sound. Jiggling the wire entering the earpiece partially restores it, but it loses connectivity. This is rather shocking considering the rest of the headphones' build quality. This is an issue I've only had with $5-10 headphones. And I've even baby'd the headset, using the included case, so there should be no reason for the damage. I got a replacement from Beyerdynamic, and after another few months the replacement had the same issue. Definitely don't buy.

I have bought 4 pairs of these, the sound is amazing.

BUT....

They literally break every 6-12 months like clockwork. The wire eventually pulls out from one of the two headphone ear pieces every time. Gonna try the PortaPro to see if those hold up better.

When I got these I was pleasantly surprised by both the sound quality and the overall build quality. Probably the best feeling and sounding cans you can get for this price. But after a month, the cable suddenly snapped right where the once-handy volume control was. I was very surprised how easily it severed right off. I then managed to pull off the other end of the volume control with disturbing ease. I can't just solder the wires together, because they do not pass a signal without the volume control, so the set was rendered useless. Huge bummer, because again, I really liked how these sounded. This is a relatively new model, and I was pretty generous with the star rating here, so maybe Pyle Pro can fix this problem soon. Don't buy these unless you're ready to be extremely careful with the volume control.

The headband is made of really cheap plastic, and finally broke apart on me. These lasted me about a year and a half. For reference, I have Sony MDR-7506s that I bought in 2010 that still work and remain intact (I've only had to replace the ear pads).

Overall, I would give it 2 stars for build quality, and 5 stars for sounds quality. If the build quality were better, I would probably recommend these in a heartbeat. Otherwise, these will break on you. Based on my experience, they should last two years if you baby them, 3 months if you're rough with them to any degree.

On the other hand, I've since bought a B&O H6 2nd gen. Better bass, more detail, clarity, and much better build quality. I can let other people listen to them without worrying about them inadvertently causing permanent damage to the headphones by looking at them the wrong way or something. Overall, those seem like a better investment.

There's no reason why a good pair of headphones can't last you a decade. These aren't planars we're talking about. Come on.

I'd hate to give such a poor rating to headphones that sound as good as these, but they deserve it... Grado has been around since the 50's - I got them because I liked the way they looked much more than any modern headphone.
Unfortunately their build quality is also stuck in the 50's. I'm a careful person, that guy that never loses or breaks anything.  These headphones came apart within the first week of light use.  Both ear cups fell off the metal rod you see there.  I also thought based on the price that these would be metal. They are cased in plastic.  I also had to add additional padding - I couldn't wear them for more than 5 - 10 minutes without significant pain... The hard plastic part of the cup smashes against your ears without a thicker pad.  I never bring these anywhere because of their fragility and size.  The cable is a Y shape which is both too big and tends to twist itself up.

Sound quality was the only thing that meets the standards of today's headphones.

Initiially, I had planned out a really good review for these headphones. I recieved them about a month ago and used them daily until recently.

The sound quality is great, no question, but these headphones aren't built to last. After only 3 weeks, the cord that connects the headphones to your device snapped almost completely off, and is currently being held together with a piece of Gorilla Tape.

If you're looking for discount headphones, I would suggest looking elsewhere. The cord is fragile, and the materials are cheap, which is unfortunate. If it wasn't for those two things, I would be singing a different tune (LOL HOW FUNNY).

These headphones sound great, once you find the proper earbud to fit your ear (3 different sizes are included in the package).  Superb bass response without overpowering the music.  The built-in mic/remote is very useful.  The remote even worked with the 3rd-gen iPod Shuffle, which requires the remote to work the thing.

However, all of this is completely nullified by astoundingly poor durability.  I went through 3 different sets and every single one stopped working in the left channel after a month of use.  It didn't seem to matter if they were handled gently or roughly.  The bayonet plug works loose and it is a mono earpiece from then on.  It's a shame that an otherwise great set of headphones is completely ruined by this.

DO NOT BUY!

Like everyone else says, the sound quality is solid, with clear mids and highs, and resonant bass that does not overwhelm the treble. My main gripe with these headphones is that after 3 weeks of very mild use (bringing it from the office to my house, using it on walks with my dog), the bass on one ear completely disappeared. I am extremely disappointed with this build quality, as the wires have no experienced any contusions at all, and so should still be working.

Sound ok but bad build quality. Ive had two of these and the ear foam fabric has come detached on both and one the mic is completely gone. Go for a better build quality!

First off let me say for the audio quality ONLY these received any stars at all. I bought these as I listen to music all day at work and wanted something comfortable that blocked ambient office noise. As a musician I seek out audio clarity throughout the full spectrum in my music, and these certainly filled that role well. The sound quality is very good, balanced with a healthy bass response and clear mid-range. The ambient noise blocking is good too with a very good seal. After about 2 weeks of constant use the sound quality became a little richer but that's where anything positive about this unit ends.

The build quality is simply horrible for the price point. The plastic is cheap and thin, and the worst part of it all is that they clicked and creaked constantly! If I tilted my head to either side it produced a click or creak due to the cheap plastic construction; parts were rubbing on one another. It got so annoying I actually took them apart and had to file down the offending parts. That partially solved the problem but there was still a random creaking when I tilted my head. Very, very annoying and distracting.

Next is the cord. The thin plastic cord began immediately wrapping around itself, to the point where it would braid itself all the way up to my chin. No matter what I tried I could not get the left and right cord to stay separated. Very annoying. My cheap $25 Sony monitors that I've had for the last 10 years have given me far less trouble and are built far sturdier than this.

I ended up turning these into custom ear protection for when I drive my Unimog 404. At least in that I can't hear the damn clicking anymore. I replaced them with the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. Best switch and far superior in every way. Spend the slight extra dough and avoid these.

They sound half decent, but the build quality is garbage. Wait for the Philips SHP9500 to go on sale. They are better in EVERY WAY for just a little bit more.
