good sound, pleasant aesthetic

Simple set up, good sound, pleasant aesthetic. The speakers are lovely and just the thing to purchase alongside a record player or other audio setup.

I'm old, and old school.  I still like to be able to see, and sometimes feel, my sound equipment.  These speakers do a great job in a medium sized room, placed at opposite ends of the room and work with a sub woofer in place.  The entire long room is filled with very pleasing sound that is good at any volume.  For the money...they are good.  An audiophile will no doubt find fault, but the price on these says they should not sound this good.

These headphones might not be something you're looking for if you want a ton of bass, but it produces good sound. I use it for video editing on my mac so it's important that I have a nice audio sound instead of something cheap sounding. It definitely produces a richer sound than some small iPod headphone (well obviously), but it also has a nice, comfortable feeling to its ear pads. It's not too tight fitting like studio headphones; it snugs right onto your head. Now it says it's closed headphones, but I wish the music was a little more quiet for others to hear if I'm listening to something. Not complaining though, they're still nice headphones.

The best feature here is the silky smooth, rich and natural bass; it's neither timid nor gimmicky - it's just a fine performance for bass lovers. (If you're not a bass lover, and you're used to cheaper earbud style phones, it may feel like too much: Earbuds often don't transmit bass very well. I really love the bass, but if you can't get used to it then hopefully you have an equalizer on your audio device.)  The sound is satisfying throughout the spectrum (although those who really like a lot of treble may find it lacking), not surprising given the 3Hz - 27kHz frequency response and the more-than-adequate 40mm dual diaghragm speakers. The lack of buzz and other iatrogenic noise is superior to many other speakers. Bravo, as they say.

The unit is designed fairly well except for one flaw.  The weight is moderate (way more than your buds, but not as much as the big cans from Sony, for example), the cushioning at the ears and on the surface that touches your head, the size is adjustable (look closely and you can see where the earpiece can slide down).  They're comfortable, although comparable to other headphones in the $100 and up range (in my admittedly limited experience). However, for the performance, the overall weight and comfort level is fine. (At first, the tension of the phones is not as "lightly sprung"  as claimed, but I expect this will loosen with time (or my hands slightly stretching it).

There is a slight problem with the in-line volume, pause play, skip tracks, etc. controller:  It's too high to comfortably see or use when the controller is connected close to the headphones.  However, the line is detachable!  Just plug the controller end into your audio device and the other side into the phones, and now the in-line controller is more like bent-arm's lengh away.  I really appreciate having the in-line controls (I don't see them very often on cheaper phones), but at this price, one might expect left/right balance or maybe treble/bass control.  Perhaps I'm expecting too much.

Being able to fold these up, and then pack them in an astonishingly lux case makes up for some of the deficits.  (I wonder how much this would cost with a cheapo pouch, or none at all.)  It's surprisingly light, well-padded, and has a half-case mesh compartment for storing the cord or whatever.  Very nice.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the sound and overall quality.  Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to go out and compare other phones to this one, but it compares very favorably to the various Sony closed-end phones I've in the past.  You don't need huge headphones or "boost" features to get a great-sounding bass and full sound at the high end and middle.

Feels comfortable, sound is good, easy to use

I'm not an experienced audiophile, but the sound from this little speaker is quite good -- not tinny in the treble or smothering in the bass.  Works well around the house and (just tested this) produces more than sufficient sound for use in a classroom. Even with the volume cranked up, the sound is clear and seems quite balanced for several genres of music.  I had no troubling pairing it with my iPhone and my MacBook.

Great cans - The bass is good, the low end drops off a bit and there's a slight mid-bass hump, but it feels clean, punchy, and taut otherwise. The mids are clear and the instrument separation is great. However, some higher pitched female vocals can sound recessed and quiet at times, although this is only a minor concern. The highs are clear and crisp, although a bit more subtle than some cans I've heard, as the high end rolls off a bit early for my taste. The soundstage isn't particularly wide, but seems precise and has a very clear sense of space.
My favorite part about these headphones is that they sound great for almost any type of music. My old cans, Grado SR-60i's, were brilliant with rock, acoustic and folk music, but were lacking in the electronic and hip hop departments. On the other hand, I have used my friend's Audio-Technica M50's, which sounded great with electronic, but sounded flat and congested and lacked detail with any guitar driven songs. These are neutral enough to pull off almost any genre - guitars are clear and open, and heavy bass lines are punchy and fun.
The headphones themselves are nice, too. Construction is mainly plastic, but it's thick, high quality plastic that has a nice texture and finish to it. Everything feels well put together, and they are comfortable, although the pads are a thick leatherette that is a bit firmer than it could be. I haven't had a chance to try the velour pads, but they might be worth checking out if you wear headphones for hours on end. My favorite part honestly is the removable cables. I bought these because my SR-60's (RIP) had the left side cut out, and my DIY cable job ended up melting the drivers, as the only way to separate the plastic is to either dip them in boiling water or use a heat gun on them. But when (if) the cable cuts out, it's a matter of replacing it, instead of buying a whole new pair of headphones. The cable on the k240's does seem a bit thin and flimsy, by the way, so if you can embrace the extra cash and hideous color scheme of the MK. II's over the Studio's, it might be a good time to splurge.
These headphones have some flaws, but for the absurdly low price, these are a great value. They beat out $200+ cans without batting an eye. If you're a headphone junkie, these are a must-have. And if you're a newbie who has been using iPod earbuds, Skullcandies, or Beats all of your life, you will be utterly shocked at the sound of these things. Also keep in mind that an amp is helpful -  they sound fine on their own, but the bass and soundstage stand out a bit more with a good amp. I have a Topping NX1 which is quite nice, and also recommended.

Pros:
- Good sound
- Easily connects to iPhone
- Nice design/style
- Comes with a cable if you cant/don't want to use the bluetooth

Cons:
- Small plastic side panel on the inside of the headband occasionally pops off, but is easy to put back into place. A little glue and there would be no problem.
- The buttons to change volume, skip forward/backward, and pause/play on the side of the housing don't really work? Pressing the individual 'buttons' don't do much. With enough random tapping I can get it to skip to the next song, that's about it. I don't mind though as I wouldn't really use those features anyway.
- The cables it came with (charging & audio) are a bit short, but not overly bothered by it.

If you're looking for pleasant-sounding, comfy, light wireless headphones with sensical playback and volume buttons, seriously consider Bose's Soundlink II around-ear headphones.

Passive noise-cancellation on these things is fantastic. I haven't walked down a noisy street yet, but when I press play on any song at moderate volume, my environment (usually a busy home or talkative workplace) fades away. The volume gets loud enough when listening on Bluetooth, and although I've never personally wanted to go past it's max output, I'm sure there are some headbangers out there who would want a little more volume out of these things.

Sound performance is gonna depend on your personal preference, but I like the balanced, detailed, open-air feeling of my music on these cans. Highs and mids come through clear to my ears, and in my opinion, these things excel with vocals. The bass is probably the most polarizing aspect of the sound signature: it's full and present, but you don't "feel it" the same way other headphones *cough* Beats *cough* deliver. The trade-off here is that it doesn't overpower anything, so vocals don't get washed out when the bass drops. On some tracks I wish the bass were a bit more powerful, but I still think they're on par with other wired headphones priced around $200 (and if you really miss the detail of wired sound, there's an included 3.5 mm cable). I listen mostly to alternative which employs a wide array of instruments, and I think these deliver consistently clear, strong sound across the genre.

In terms of battery life, I've only charged them once in the 3 weeks I've had them, so I'm led to believe the advertised 15 hours of listening at moderate volume.

The headphones themselves were smaller than I was expecting when I opened the box. They're unexpectedly light, but still feel sturdy, and it can be easy to forget they're on when you're "in the zone." In fact, that's one of the best features: these things are comfy, and they don't heat up my ears like how other leather ear cups do. The black version I have is low profile because it's all a matte finish instead of gloss, meaning people on the street won't point and yell at you, "Hey everyone, they have Bose headphones!" In other words, if you're a show-off, look elsewhere.

Some people might not like the button design, but after a week, it feels more or less natural to navigate. Three small buttons, one of them depressed for feel-only operation, on the back of the right earcup control volume and playback (pause, skip, rewind, Siri) the same way Apple earphones do, and the microphones on here are entirely capable of handling phone calls.

Bluetooth performance is pretty excellent, and even though it's not perfect (it'll skip when I leave the audio source and go behind a wall 20 feet away), it works well for my listening purposes. Pairing to my phone and computer was easy as could be, and everytime I turn the headphones on, my device identifies and connects within 5 seconds. Easy peasy lemon-squeezy.

Lastly, the overall value: I paid $230 for the headphones on sale, and even for a college student looking to "treat myself," it's a pretty hefty investment. I can't say yet if I've gotten my money's worth, but these headphones are definitely on track to prove themselves worthy. From the reviews I've read of other Bose products, I'm expecting quite a few more years of solid performance from these cans, and right now, they seem entirely up to that task.

Great rich sound. Flushed look makes them hardly noticeable.

I bought this to go in my son's bedroom, which is a rather small room. I needed it to sound good and take up very little space. This stereo does both of those very well, and at a very reasonable price. I also consider it to be very attractive. I think the reviewers that dinged it for its sound quality are expecting too much from it. I can report that the tweeters sound clear, the midrange is good, and the lower end is about what one would expect from a unit of this size--there's only so much that can be done physically.

The unit is well-built; I don't think it's going to break anytime soon. The display is clean and attractive; and the remote control is good. I have nothing to mark it down for because it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Enjoyable, big room sound across a range of classical, jazz, and pop music. My very positive experience with sound quality mirrors that of previous reviewers here. The looks are contemporary and elegant, so it fits well into any room decor. Pairing works just fine on both Apple and Kindle devices. It's not as portable or as cool as the UE Boom with its app, so I'm keeping that for travel and grab-and-go personal sound. One minor nit is that the legs on the speaker don't fold up. Therefore, I use the original box to pack it up for travel to protect the speaker and legs from damage.

On my journey to audition a few low-priced headphones that caught my eye, I checked these out while they were an Amazon Daily Deal. If you don't mind the very tacky aesthetics, reminiscent of Monster's monstrosities, they are a  pretty good set. These Logitechs actually require a bit of burn-in and the sound is much better than the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/AKG-K-404-Foldable-Mini-Headphone-with-Carrying-Pouch/dp/B005SYZ3G4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">AKG K 404 Foldable Mini Headphone with Carrying Pouch</a>&nbsp;I was using before. The bass is rather rich and the mids and highs are serviceable. They're not quite as comfortable as the AKGs, but they are sturdier and the construction feels much better. The cable is breakaway, so it will disconnect from the headphones before it will tear the phones off your head if they get snagged on something. The inline mic and remote only partially work on Android devices. I could pause and play music, but couldn't control the volume. I haven't tested the actual mic yet.

I enjoyed bringing this around and the sound is pretty good.

Short review, these are excellent sounding headphones.

Obviously being open-backed they are not really suitable for noisy environments. But at home, I prefer the open back design, which is less isolating from the environment as well as greatly aiding a feeling of "airiness" and smooth treble.

The build is excellent and you really feel like your money was spent on something high quality. They are very comfortable, as well, and have a sturdy metal construction without being too heavy.

Sonically they are not what I would call "neutral" or "reference" exactly but they have an extremely pleasing sound. The bass is very "full", that is obvious right off the bat, but it is almost never overbearing. I have seen response curves for these headphones and they are somewhat emphasized in the bass region but do roll off somewhat in the sub-bass (below 30 hz or so). This roll off is a characteristic of open backed drivers, and traditionally their Achilles Heel, but in this instance it's not a problem. The response curve is very similar to what you would get from a high end set of speakers in a medium size room. In truth, very little musical information is present below 30 Hz. I'd say the only noticeable effect of the open backed driver is that artificially low notes (such as from certain synthesized R&B tracks) are not quite as "tight" as they could be, and sharp fast attacks such as from a kick drum are almost imperceptibly softened. But overall the effect is very pleasing, warm and full bass, not muddy and these headphones have more (and better) bass than most of the general population are used to hearing from headphones.

Of course it's in the rest of the frequency range that these headphones really shine. They are just well balanced IMHO to create a very pleasing sound. They reproduce higher frequencies very well with an open, spacious sound that never gets tinny or fatiguing. Just a very pleasant and detailed reproduction of music. Highly recommended.

Oh, the cord high quality cloth braided, but it is quite long. I appreciate that because for home use I want a little freedom to move around. But if you are going to use it with a portable music player I recommend using a shorter cord (luckily it's just a standard 3.5mm plug on both ends).

Comfortable, good sound, easy-to-use volume controls.

Very good sound; mighty handsome to look at.  I choose these over my usual choice for sound equipment, BOSE, because of the help LSTN provides to the hearing impaired.  Also, it didn't hurt that the trees used for the wood are responsibly harvested.  You should note that these ARE NOT "Noise Cancelling" headphones, although outside sounds are dampened somewhat.  The in-line mic is helpful for using these with a cell phone.  The packaging is so nice I kept the box, although I suspect the carry/storage bag will not get any use.  Overall, a very good piece of equipment.  The only caveat:  I can't tell you how disappointed I was to see the words "Made In China" on the packaging.
