The tinny audio quality hurts my ears
352768
I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks, mostly on public transportation. These headphones are good at blocking out noises on public transport as well as conversations while in the office. And the built in microphone for phone calls is fine. However, I find that the hard "S" sounds of the narration/interviews/callers hurt my ears. This is the case on all devices with these headphones, including the desktop at work. I've tried to mitigate the hard "s" problem through my device's equalizers, built in sound profiles, and lowering the volume to no avail.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Kenny Wheeler fan and an avid collector of his records. Plus, the music on this recording is great; exactly what I was looking for. However, I travel a lot and spend a lot of time listening to music on headphones, and beacuse of the record quality of this (the other review says its from a radio broadcast?), I find it unbearable to listen to on headphones. Granted, I have yet to listen to the album on speakers, but so far I literally cannot go more than a minute of listening until my ears can't take it. There is this constant whooshing sound which fades between left and right and increases during random parts of the song. It is incredibly annoying and I can't get it out of my head. I'm not even usually a stickler for hi-def audio, I can listen to bootlegs and basic live recordings without a complaint. But THIS, whatever it is, I find absolutely  unbearable. So if you're a stickler for hi-quality audio, or use headphones a lot, BEWARE.

These headphones have such poor audio quality you won't want to use them. I'm going to keep mine as an emergency backup and seek something better. The audio sounds muffled. Music lacks clarity even on the best produced recordings. There is a frequency spike around 1200Hz which will quickly give you ear fatigue. These phones can get pretty loud, and they may appear to sound better with the volume cranked, but unless you want to go deaf I would keep looking and pass on this "bargain" set.

The headset has so much pressure on the ears it hurts.  The sound is fine but they are very uncomfortable to wear.

The sound quality is very high for the price.  Unfortunately they hurt my ears after about 10 minutes of use so I bought a different pair and let these sit in my car as a backup.

By no means did I insist on having the best audio quality, which is good because the sound on these are awful.  The are constant pops in songs and podcasts, as if the connection is lost and reconnected very quickly.  Also, the over the ear section is so big, that the earbuds do not fit into your ear.  There are cheaper, better made products on Amazon.  Do not get these.

I was pretty excited to receive this. I plugged it into an open USB jack & the mini plug went into my LG TV earphone jack. It worked. Too bad the audio quality is horrible! I adjusted the 5 audio settings on the TV. Never could get a decent sound to come out. Am VERY DISAPPOINTED. Will be sending it back. The phone cable is a tad too short to place the speaker bar on my laptop. As soon as the female/female adapter arrives I will be able to properly attach it. After that I will be able to give a more valid appraisal on the sound quality.

So I got these about 4hrs ago and as I am typing this I still have them in and trying to like them more. I read a fair amount of reviews and the one thing people complained about was the earbuds hurting your ears and not being comfortable...for me this is the complete opposite they feel great and fit awesome. My reason for 3 stars is the audio quality. It's horrible! I use these to run in and I know i should not care about sound quality but the original iPhone headphones that I have had for the past 2yrs still sound better. They do an decent job of noice canceling and the setup and overall functionality of them are super easy to setup and work with. Just wish the speakers were better. End of the day I got these on one of the Amazon flash deals and even at the 16.99 they cost I would not buy them again.

I was happy to receive my headset and install it. At first I was impressed with the quality of construction and ease of pairing however the sound quality is very poor. The sound is very flat and tinny with very low volume which makes it hard to hear with with noise.
Spend a little extra and get a better sounding product.

I wish these headphones were more comfortable. The top of my head starts to ache when I wear it for more than half an hour. I like the audio quality though, so it's a shame I can't wear them for very long. It's stored away most of the time, because I just don't like wearing it.

The sound quality is awful, sounds muffled. The ear pieces were comfortable at first but after 30 minutes my ears began to hurt.

Audio quality is good
But it is very painful to wear, the inner padding got detached after few months of regular use
I found it very uncomfortable
In general I don't recommend

I doesn't fit properly and doesn't stay in my ear even with the smallest ear piece. My ear got painful after 20 minutes of using this. I don't like the sound quality it's like you here every thing far from a tunnel. I wish I could return it. Definitely doesn't worth the price.

These aren't the worst headphones I've bought, but they aren't far from it. I like the way they fit and they don't seem as flimsy as my last pair of headphones. However, the sound quality is terrible. They're so bad that I can't even listen to some of the songs on my iPod because it actually hurts listening to them. My JVC headphones that I got for five bucks are way better than these. I've had multiple people recommend Skullcandy to me but I won't be purchasing them again.

The headphones are tight.  Very uncomfortable.  They plug the ears to the point that the sound is muffled.  I find myself continuously removing from my ear for better comfort and sound.
