A simple yet ideal set of headphones
924953
Simple yet ideal! I have had these going on 3 years now and they allow me to hear whats actually going on. I have a hard time hearing regardless of how loud I would turn the TV up. With these Sennheiser headphones, I hear so much more now. If I am multitasking or need to step into another room, I can do so without missing a beat. Depending on line of sight, I can get anywhere from 30-56 feet with uninterrupted sound quality, even outside my house in my driveway in some cases. Between the wireless RF connection and the sound drivers from the headphones, I get the sound quality I want. Keep in mind they are not designed for top of the line bass but for clarity and that's what you get. They are pricey but worth the dollar. I use an RF splitter bridging my headphones and the TV with the PlayStation or without the splitter and a direct connection to the Apple TV, depending if I am in my bedroom or the family room. Simple setup with a power adapter and an RF cable. Another plus is that they block outside noise considerably (LOL you can easily get away with not hearing your wife call for you while in the middle of your movie). They also allow me to watch TV without disturbing my wife while she sleeps. All in all, a good investment for those who really want to hear whats going on.

These headphones have well balanced, neutral sound and are comfortable for extended listening with well padded head band and ear cups. The ear cups seal well and provide moderate sound isolation -- good in case you need to hear the program material but also outside sounds at times. I particularly like the swivelling earcups, making it easy to take the phones off my ears and rest them around my neck. The easily adjustable headband has markings for the amount of extension, making it easy to set them after taking them out of their case. The included case is a nice touch and protects the headphones when traveling. It is fairly compact since the headphones fold up to some degree. The construction and materials feel substantial. The in-line microphone is OK, not great. The sound may be better if you hold the mic closer to your mouth rather than just let it dangle. But I did not buy these headphones to use with a cell phone, Skype, etc. so it really does not matter to me.

The average/basic sound quality is to be expected for a pair of headphones on the cheap end of the market, but thats actually what I wanteda basic pair that I can throw in my bag and use when not wanting to lug around my bulkier Bose noise-canceling headphones. Theyre comfortable for my ears because they have the ear clip, although I sometimes have to adjust it a couple times to get them to sit correctly on my ears. The one weird thing is that the length of wire going to each earphone is not the same, so one earphones wire dangles more than the other. Im not sure why they designed it that way; its not hugely annoying but sometimes I find I get caught in the longer wire. I like the blue color.

Driven by a proper source these headphones will give you a humble, yet enjoyable and accurate audio experience. The bass is solid, the midtone is properly present and treble is soft yet crisp.

It will capture the tiniest detail and render it subtly but clearly in a reasonably linear and neutral response. For instance these are the only head-phones I've used which fully capture the full range of Neil Young's music, but they are excellent for other styles, like old jazz, newer noise-based music. Pretty much an all-rounder.

They are utterly comfortable and can be worn for hours without a single itch. They have natural sound isolation, letting you enjoy your music undisturbed without turning the volume up to 11.

There may be better headsets out there, there may be cheaper headsets out there. But at this price, I'm overly happy the value for money and wouldn't consider any other gear.

Some may find the neutral style a bit "flat" or boring, but for those people Beats by Dre has the overpriced headsets they seek.

The August EP615 Bluetooth Headphones are supplied in a simple box. Within the box you will find the headphones packed in a plastic bag, the USB charging cable and the user manual.

The headphones look of high-quality. You can wear them comfortably and you hardly notice them due to the low weight. The headband cannot be adjusted, but fits nicely around the head.  You cannot feel any pressure, but is still tight enough not to slip. You cannot use them for sporting activities.

After the headphones are charged they can be easily connected to Bluetooth. Acoustic wise I am pleasantly surprised considering the low price but I find the sound very dark.
In some cases, especially with very lively songs the dynamic is missing. But it is still acceptable for this price.

There is only one thing that I find disturbing, there is a slight whistling on the ear with the buttons. Unfortunately, you can hear this up to 50% of the maximum volume. Therefore, a quieter set up is not possible. For this I will deduct one star.

Finally, I would like to say that for this low price you will be offered a good product with small weaknesses.

For now, I'd have to say these headphones are my favorite one hands down along with having a good quality look and feel to them.

These headphones are reasonably light weight, but they they have a high pressure clasp on your head for it to stay on and also act as noise cancellation.

The head pads and the ear cup pads are made of pleather. (good for noise cancellation, but yucky during the summer).

Because of the light weight-nest of the headphones and also the cushion feel on the headrest , you don't really feel it pushing down on your head.

The high pressure clasp it has on your head could be annoying to some, as it may put pressure on your jaw muscles that are near you ears.  Plus I have big ears and if you have an oily face the ear pads would shine when taken off.  To solve that problem, I use kleenex to cover the pads lol.

Now, I'm in no way an audiophile, but I do have a general idea of what sounds good.

In my music, I do have a lot of  songs from a different kinds of genres so my opinion may be a little biased.

If you want a descriptive and professional opinion of what the sound is like then may I suggest looking at some of the Youtube videos and the written reviews that are done by the audiophiles.

So for a basic description:
With the bass ports completely open, you get a full head pounding sensation (in a good way) of the music.

With the bass ports completely closed, you get a sound that more emphasizes the highs, which may sound good for talking videos.

Turning the volume up, I find it that, in simple words, the music gets louder. I feel that there is no distortion whatsoever and that you tend to pick up on little things of a song that you didn't know were there.

So in other words, I find the clarity is amazing, the bass literately shakes your head, and you get a good range of the mids and high as well as the lows.

Now the BAD:
There is a little notch on the housing as well as a groove on the cable that allows the thing to fit into the thing  :)

This means that not all cables will fit into the housing of the headphones.  Because of that notch, you can't fit a AUX cable in that has a fat housing.

You can, however, fit a slim housing cable and it won't be block by that notch.

Another approach is to use an X-acto knife to cut off the notch so you could fit almost any AUX cable in.

My 2cents:
Overall, I find that the Custom One Pros are an exceptional pair of headphones.

What I love about them is that they can cancel a good amount of environmental noise, and they can be modded.

PS:  I just got them this past weekend 9/5/2013 and sure glad I did, the price was $185 DEALSSS and now I see it went up $45... YEAAAA!!!  Also, if you have a big noggin they will do fine.  My noggin size when I wear my FiftyNine 50 baseball caps is 7 5/8, hope that helps!

JVC Marshmallows aren't the greatest headphones, but you get a nice sound for the low price tag. They have a sound that is more than acceptable for the casual user and provide a nice, affordable, and fashionable upgrade to stock earbuds.

The sound is mainly bass-oriented. The bass packs a punch, and on bass-heavy songs, you can feel it thumping in your ears. The mids are a little bit weak, but it won't bother casual listeners at all. The highs are a bit harsh and things such as cymbal crashes and "S" sounds in vocals are unpleasant at higher volumes. Overall, the phones are good bass phones that provide a satisfactory sound for those who are not accustomed to higher quality headphones.

The foam tips block out most external noise. You can use it on a loud bus at normal listening volume and you won't be disturbed. These are some of the most comfortable in-ear phones after you use them for a while, but when you first get them or after long periods of not using them, they will be stiff and physically painful to use. They require a couple days of use at first to really benefit from the isolation and comfort, and you will want to squeeze the tips after each use to make sure they are soft. The tips also aren't very durable and will rot if you squeeze them too much, so don't get in the habit of removing the tips and squeezing them to make them softer when they are already soft enough for use, as it will only break them.

One final complaint is that the cord is short. If you are tall, this will be an issue. I am six feet tall, and it is difficult to use them in an average-sized computer chair with the tower on the ground, and if I were much taller, the cord wouldn't even reach the player in my pocket.

I'd been looking for a decent set of headphones for a bit now and nothing was quite catching my eye. I came across this set and liked the look and the stats. I was a bit wary with the disclosure reviews ,but these are living up to the good praises. These are nicely light weight ,but solid at the same time. I've had these on for long periods of time with zero issues of weight or comfort. I do game ,but I mainly listen to music and narrations. Everything from Lindsey Stirling to A7F to The Cars I've not been disappointed. I even tried some sound/bass checks for good measure.
I've not tried the mic mostly because I don't generally use one ,but I'm sure it's fine. I got these for a good set of over ear headphones for my computer and I am more then happy with them.
The only down side ,as it were ,is my cord is not braided ,but it has a real length to it. No extensions needed unlike other sets I've seen.

I bought these headphones for exercising so I didn't want anything too fancy, but I was so impressed by the audio quality that these have become my everyday headphones.

First impression is quite good. The headphones are packaged in a hard case with felt-lined interior. Cables and adaptors tuck neatly inside the case within a removable velcro bag. The speakers turn to lie flat, allowing for a slimmer case. The overall package is neat and professional. Ideally suited for storage and travelling.

The headphones look decent with subdued highlights and a pleasant overall shape. However my first complaint is the plastic construction; although the headphones have a metal strip hidden inside the head band for added strength, the rest of the body is made from plastic. The headphones are unexpectedly light, which doesn't inspire confidence in the overall product strength. I've had this pair for a few years and there are no cracks yet, but durability is an ongoing concern.

The headphones sit comfortably on the ears with nice leatherette pads and padded headband. The band length is adjustable and easily accommodates my gigantic head. The pads completely enclose the ears which can get quite warm, especially when exercising, but this is true for all headphones of this design. The noise reduction from the pads alone is good - about 30dB by my best guess. I can and have worn these headphones for several hours without discomfort.

The battery compartment is concealed under the phone arms and accepts one AAA battery. The battery is required for active noise cancellation but the headphones also work perfectly in passive mode without battery power. As passive headphones these are really quite excellent. There is no discernible hiss, no popping, and no hum when the track is silent. Playing a rock guitar track (Jeff Beck) the drums are slightly subdued, indicating a smallish driver, but in practise this means more emphasis on voice and guitar, which for most people is desirable anyway. The audio is not as good as a pair of AKG studio headphones but they easily reach within 90% of that goal. I was pleasantly surprised.

With active noise cancellation enabled the headphones become much punchier. Listening to some drum&bass (Friction) the low-end expands and the dynamic range increases. I would say they are actually bass heavy and I tend to use the EQ on my player to put some high-end back, but this is personal preference. The noise cancellation is spookily effective. Clapping my hands in front of my face is nearly silent. The normal background noise of the gym/home/work disappears completely.

I adore these headphones to the point where I use them more often than my AKG studios, and for the price they simply can't be beat. I only regret not buying a second pair when I had the chance. There might be other headphones that offer marginally better audio quality, but nothing that offers this kind of value for money.

I've owned about a dozen sets of headphones including Sonys, Logitech Ultimate Ears, Sennheisers, and Klipsch Image S4's and X10s.  These are head and shoulders better and they'd better be for an MSRP of $350.  I paid $185 for mine as the price seems to float and I feel they're worth it.

Sound is clear, deep, and well isolated with the oval tips.  High and lows are clear and respond well to equalizer settings in Apple devices, everything from classic rock to modern death metal sounds just as good as over the ear models.  Spoken word in audiobooks and podcasts don't have the harshness I'm used to with cheap headphones.  I've used my dad's Bose earbuds and I still prefer these which feel like half the mass but double the sound.  Watching Netflix on my iPad through these is much better than the iPad's speakers, especially in action movies or heavy soundtracks.

The oval tips are good at blocking outside sound but are fairly smooth so running them up through a jacket causes them to slip from one ear - they more or less sit in your ear canal rather than hold in it.  The default tips are the only ones that work for me, the package has several other sets that are useless to me.  The biggest single issue I have with these headphones - and it's the same with my X10s - is that dry weather and static cause some kind of interference in the wires.  I can "hear" the wires rubbing against a sweater or jacket as I walk, if I tilt my head and they slide across fabric I can feel that static transferred through the wire.  I don't get this on my cheap Sonys I take jogging or the less expensive S4s.  The headphones are also so light they can feel cheap, I do prefer the straight headphone jack rather than the 90 degree curved jack on the X10s and I'm less concerned about the wire bending too much.

People tell me I sound fine throught the mic but it will pick up outside ambient noise easily - that makes using these for calls while you're typing on a mechanical keyboard or something else noisy uncomfortable.  I didn't have that issue as much with a previous cheaper inline mic but I had to shout into it to be heard so that's the tradeoff.

If you're someone like me who places a premium on good audio and is willing to shell out money for good headphones, these are the best ones I've played with that will let you make calls.  Perfect for travelers, subway users, and office dwellers like me looking for a little peace.

The headphones are quite pleasing. They have a decent balanced sound. They are comfortable for extended wear and the cable is replaceable. I don't think there are any headphones in the price range that are as functional as these for DJ'ing , Overall regardless of the price I was very pleased with this product.

These are excellent headphones for the price,  and are supplied with two detachable cables -  one for a PC with separate  headphone and microphone  sockets,  and the other for devices such as phones with a single headset connection which has a right angle connection to prevent damage.

The headphones fold down into a compact size,  and are easy to carry.

The sound quality is excellent, and is clear with good base.  I will update the review once I've had more time to use the headphones with different types of music.

There are only a few things I would change. First I'd supply a carry pouch,  and second I'd make the headset cable a little slimmer so it works better with phone cases.

I'm pleased with these headphones. They were easy to connect to my computer, and the sound quality is good. Keep in mind the target consumer for this style headphone is someone who wants the flexibility of leaving cords behind. These are not audiophile quality headphones. That said, the sound is much better than most inserts and many over the ear headphones in this price range.

I have not tried syncing these with my phone yet, and probably won't - I typically use my landline when I'm in my office, which is where I use these headphones. Overall, the quality, sound, fit, and ease of use are quite good. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a set of portable headphones that don't have a cord.

Having used these headphones for almost a year now in between school and everywhere else, I can say these headphones live up the praise already given of them. I bought these to have a pair of stylish yet still quality headphones that were right above $20, which is $50-$100 cheaper then most other over-the-ear headphones on the market right now.

I was skeptical of the quality when I first opened them out of the cheap plastic box they came in, even more skeptical when I felt how light and cheap the hollowed plastic seemed to be that surrounds the cans. Yet upon trying them out I found them to be very comfortable, being able to wear them without any discomfort at all for about two hours. However, being that I have very large ears I have to slightly fold them into them into the cans, so the headphones can surround my ears instead of having them rest uncomfortably on top of my ears. I am finding that the headphones seem to be losing their tension in the manual tighteners found on each side of the pair, I'm finding myself adjusting them about every half an hour so far. The rubber cable that thankfully only comes out of the left can runs about the same length as all other headphones, which is certainly long enough to run into someones pants pocket or a computer next to them.

The sound quality is nothing special, yet is consistently clear and loud enough for any task. The bass is certainly lacking compared to some of the more "kid-oriented" headphones that use excessive bass to compensate for their lack of sound quality yet still a high price tag.

The look of the headphones pull a more old-school look that certainly stands out in the crowd, and comes in a bunch of different colors, however I find that the classic red really brings out the style with the rest of them having a too muted look.

These headphones rival some of the premier and high price headphones. They are versatile so you can use them outside the studio as well. I wouldn't say that they are flat response completely however they are clear with not a lot of coloration.

The description in this review up there is, in a nutshell, why I like these headphones.  They are in the most inexpensive market, are lightweight so you can wear them all day and not have your ears hurt.  The sound quality is very good, I can pick up all the little noises I'm listening for.

A very important feature is the in-line volume control switch, which allows me to adjust volume without having to affect the volume of my recording.  It also provides a very loud volume when turned up high, so that one can monitor from the back of, say, a DVD deck or some other recorder's RCA output without an amplifier.

One of these an another by Koss (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/KTX8-Collapsable-Headphones/dp/B00008Z1QG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">KTX8 Collapsable Headphones</a>) are a part of my kit that I couldn't do without, so I purchased several in case they ever decide to stop making them.
