Caught my first ever striper 31" long with the bone colored minnow. One star deserves to be taken off for the inferior treble hooks and split rings that should be replaced like everyone else suggests. Its throws really well and the fluttering retrieve works excellent.

Product is subpar, sound gets distorted at high volumes.

This would be a five-star review if these were presented as high-end disposable headphones. I can't speak highly enough about the functionality. They sound fantastic, and the noise cancellation is unmatched. For the price though, I expect something like this to last. My first pair eventually just stopped turning on unless I gave them a slight tap on the right ear phone (which indicates cheap electronic materials or poor craftsmanship). That only worked for so long before they refused to turn on at all. I contacted Bose for a replacement. They wanted $100, which I paid, begrudgingly (that is NOT a warranty). Now, my second pair is doing the same thing.

There are two big problems here. First, the QuietComfort 2 isn't a new design for Bose. If this were a design flaw, Bose would definitely be aware of it, and should have fixed it by now. Second, the profit margin for high-end products like these is insanely high, so Bose is making a killing with every sale. Are they so greedy that they can't spend just a little bit more per unit to use quality materials or improve their manufacturing process?

I'll never buy another Bose product again. If you're thinking about it, do yourself a favor and at LEAST take a good look at other products in the same class. There are plenty of high-end audio companies out there that stand behind their products. Bose isn't one of them.

This Klipsch speaker set replaced a set of promptly returned Logitech Z623 speakers. These aren't much better, unfortunately. I've already sent them back once for warranty replacement. First set had an intermittent issue where peaks in audio caused a loud popping sound. So quality control is strike one. Sound is muddy. If the highs were a bit more prominent it would balance the sound out. No EQ to accomplish this. Sound quality is strike two. If these were a little bit cheaper I'd give them 3 stars, but they're on the expensive end for a basic 2.1 speaker system, so price is strike three. Had I not already been through this with a couple of other brand's models, I would have probably returned these as well, but I was tired of dealing with sending stuff back so I kept these out of exhaustion more than contentment with my purchase.

I purchased this item based on previous experience with Phillips earbuds. The older set that I already own has amazing fidelity, with rich bass and clear highs; the ear hook design is incredibly comfortable for long listening sessions.

This pair, on the other hand, has virtually NO bass, and ridiculously poor fidelity. Frequency response is somewhere in the range of 1.5 - 4Khz, and what little treble there is badly distorted. Picture listening to music through an old telephone handset with a blown speaker. These, sadly, went right in the trash.

I would give these a ZERO if I could.  I love the sound quality, but the tips SUCK!  They no longer offer replacement tips (mine disintegrated after 4 uses). They now charge $6.99.  This is the 2nd Bose product I have purchased that fell apart after a few short uses.  I bought the Tri-Port over the ear headphones, and they fell apart after less than a week of use.  Beware of purchasing any Bose headphones.  They obviously don't do any type of quality control before releasing a product.

I would actually give these a 2.5 star. I love Sony products and have a ton of them which is why I chose these.....but they made a MAJORLY inferior product here. Very tinny sounding speakers. Sound almost like mono and not stereo. So bad, I put my old $5.00 speakers back on and passed these off to the "spare" pc.

These headphones are terrible! The first set sounded like I had a blown left speaker. When ever somebody would raise there voice the left speaker would get distorted. I got an RMA to return the set, so I bought a second set so I would be able to listen to them while my first set was being fixed. The second set was way worse than the first set. The left ear would pulsate when noise cancellation is on. I returned both headsets and tried ordering a third. These sounded good until I was watching a movie with the noise cancellation on. All I could concentrate on was the pulsating. It wasn't as bad as the second set but it's all I could think about while using them. I will be returning them Monday.
I also looked up turtle beach on the BBB, they received a B- rating. Stay away from turtle beach!!!!!

I don't care what value they have, the treble just sucks.  I ended up ditching the speakers and keeping the subwoofer to use with my old dell stock speakers, which are unbelievably far superior.  These logitech speakers are only good for computer sounds, not music.

Pros:

Flimsy earclips snap off of the actual earpiece as soon as you attempt to put them around your ear
Completely unadjustable
People can't hear you when on a call
All 3 buds that came with it don't fit
Super heavy mic box ensures they fall out of your ears during any form of exercise other than watching tv (see first line item)

Cons:
Good battery life
Can hear very clearly

I just want to know WHY they even made the earclips separate from the headphones?  The headphones are useless without them, so they should have been one piece.

After using this system for over a year, I have to say that I am regretting the purchase.  Overall, everything works so there are no defects in the product.  I know that this is an entry level system, but it does not produce the sound or bass that I hear from cheaper HTIB systems.

* Can't hear movie dialogue clearly at low volumes.  This is a major annoyance.

* I know that the subwoofer is passive, but it is so weak that I have to literally walk up and put my hand on top of it to convince myself that it is actually working.

* I can't believe I am saying this, but I was actually more impressed with the sound quality of my Altec Lansing speakers which cost less than $50.

The sound quality was satisfactory, good compared to a lot of on-ear headphones (on-ear not over-ear) but nothing to write home about, I'm not sure what people meant when they said punchy bass. I'd say low to moderate bass. The main thing about these head phones that earns it 2-stars is that their entire integrity relies on two tiny plastic arms that hold the headphone to the headband and these are EASILY broken, making the entire headset a mess. Another very lame part about the adjustability design was the fact that the headphones will never stay at one setting of adjustment. You will always have to adjust them before you put them on because they go back to their equlibrium state with the black bands tightened as far as they can go everytime you take them off. I'm not sure if i even want to pay the 9$ to get my free warranty pair, i might just move into some AudioTechnicas

I'm using these Denon headphones as I write this review, so I'll share exactly what I'm experiencing at the moment:
-The left earbud is shot, playing music at about 1/3 of the volume of the other earbud. So, I'm stuck with either listening to the music at an unacceptably low volume, or I'm forced to have the music blaring into one of my ears.
-I have the cords wrapped completely around each ear, since they will fall out of my ears if I don't engage in this ridiculous setup (and yes, I've tried the different sized earpads, to no avail).
-The sound is terrible - the bass is fuzzy and heavy handed, and the mids and highs are muted.

In an attempt to find some redeeming quality for these headphones, I will say that the zip up carrying case is a nice feature. The headphones fit in the case compactly, it helps avoid tangled wires, and provides a nice pocket for the earpads. But, you're probably not looking for a $50 carrying case for your headphones.

I realize I'm getting what I paid for - these headphones were pretty inexpensive compared to what's out there - but I've paid close to the same price for earbuds that sounded better, fit better, were designed better, and held up much longer, including models from Sennheiser and Altec Lansing. When I bought these headphones as a cheaper alternative, I knew that I wouldn't get as long a lifespan as some of the higher quality brands, but I never anticipated that I would be replacing them in six months! (I just purchased an Altec Lansing replacement.) It's no longer cost efficient if I need to re-purchase these twice a year.

Needless to say, I'll never purchase another Denon product again, and I suggest others to avoid the brand as well.

The physical design of these are great - too bad they sound terrible. The design is very clever and they look sharp. The two speakers connect together magnetically for transporting. One speaker has a retractable cord to connect them together. The other has a retractable cable that fits a headphone jack.

A USB passthrough cable is included for charging from a computer or an A/C adapter you provide. Also included is a nice carrying pouch which even has an extra pocket for that USB cable. It's a well thought-out package.

I really wanted to like these but the sound quality is so poor I could never be satisfied with them for music. They will play louder than a typical laptop computer but don't sound any better. At this price you are better off with a single speaker where all of the product budget can go into one superior speaker. You're not going to get much stereo separation with tiny speakers that are a foot apart so there is little added value to dual speakers.

Edit: I've seen the other reviews now and I'm quite surprised. I can understand if you accept the sound quality as a trade-off for their portability and price, but to call it "great" and "awesome" is a huge stretch.

I've had this set for 7 months now and I just began playing. The 3 toms and the bass are pretty good but the heads that come with it are easily dented and broken. I had to replace them with evans g2 tom heads and a remo bass head. The stands and the bass pedal are decent, but don't expect to customize it to your liking. The options are VERY LIMITED. The throne is alright, but it's hard to adjust and it doesn't go up that far. The snare is just an utter disappointment. It doesn't sound good no matter how much time you spend to tune it, and as I play, the snare clip just falls apart. Finally, the cymbals; THE WORST CYMBALS EVER!!!! They are almost like plastic cymbals!! The high-hats have the worst "chik" sounds I've ever heard in my life, and the crash is just horrible sounding, especially on a recording if you record your own music. Overall, it did not impress me very much. Only get it if you're low on budget and if you just began to play drums or just want to fool around and have fun. However, if you're serious about drumming, then I suggest a Pearl, Ludwig, or a Tama set. I have recently just got a Tama Superstar Hyperdrive 5-piece set and it is WAY better sounding. For cymbals, I suggest Zildjians. They are nice and sturdy.

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.

Great sound, poor earset design. My ears begin to hurt after about 15 minutes and this apparently is not uncommon because I have read many people are buying the XL ear covers to replace what comes standard with these. I purchased them myslef, but am unable to exchange the new pads with the existing even after watching 2 youtube videos. Mine will not release no matter what pressure I put on them and in fact, one is side is beginning to have damage to the material on the ear piece trying to remove it. Bad design! You should not have to replace ear pieces for such an expensive headset to obtain comfort in wearing these. And then if you decide to upgrade anyway, they should be easily done.
