Impressive (even ignoring price)

Overall, I'm fairly impressed with these 'phones. They have a slightly forward soundstage that mellows into a wonderful balance of impartiality with some burn-in (I did a full 96 hours of white/pink/brown noise). The soundstage is impressive for a closed-back design, nearly approaching my AD900s. The low-mids are barely recessed to my ears, but it isn't too noticeable. Admittedly, these 'phones aren't quite as warm (audio-signature-wise) as I'd prefer, but that may be more of a function of my current amplifier/DAC.

I'm quite pleased and impressed with the construction; these 'phones feel solid in hand and don't have the creaky, plasticy feel that many more expensive sets do. I also appreciate the coiled cord while at my desk (although it would be nice if it were detachable, but I'll be modifying this oversight myself when I upgrade the cord). My only construction complaint is the fairly shallow earcups: the outside edge of my ear does contact the inner foam of the cup, which I find mildly uncomfortable (but not entirely detracting; I can still wear the 'phones for hours at a time).

Overall, a good buy that I do not regret in any way. I'm betting these will stay in my collection for a long time.

I've had the Koss ProDJ200s for a while now, and now that I've heard better (albeit a lot more expensive) I feel that I have a good sense of reference to give these a fair appraisal.

I normally see these, and in fact bought these, at a significant sale price. For the around $70 I spent, I have nothing but praise. Sturdy, mostly metal construction (including machined metal earcups). They fold well, come with 2 cables and include a semi-hard carrying case (not even my latest pair that I'm infatuated included as many or as nice accessories).

When I upgraded to these, they sounded amazing. More so after 40 hours of pink noise (known within the audio community as "burn in"). These things are detail monsters at their price point. Many people don't know this, but if you listen to Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here", you can clearly hear David Gilmore coughing and taking a deep breath right before he comes in on the guitar solo. There is a very natural sound to these. Though not exactly bassy, they have a respectable amount that is very tight and high quality. Highs are not fatiguing and bright. The mids really shine here and though forward, they are a refreshing change of pace from the usual V shaped sound signature. "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal should be required listening for these. Pair with a FiiO E6 amplifier ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HJWWW8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )and you've got yourself a quality rig.

But, now that I have some more experience, there are some reasons I had to knock off one star. First of all, these headphones claim to have "deep bass" on the package itself (though oddly enough that claim seems to be missing from the product description on Amazon). Having seen these sold in brick and mortar retail stores, I've got to say that it is a bit deceptive. They aren't bass light but their frequency response is more suited for those searching for the type of sound most audiophiles are interested in.

Second, I noticed that these have a list price of $130. As I mentioned, at around $70 these are exceptional, but at their list price I would only rate their sound as good.

These headphones have served me well for the time that they were the best I had and as such, are getting passed to my father. At the price you can regularly find them at, they are an awesome deal but at their list price, they should be placed under a bit more scrutiny.

This is a shockingly good sound bar for the price. I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you it measures up to more expensive bars, but unless you're an audiophile or specifically want a longer bar or better bass this is going to do the job 100%. Throw it on a bedroom TV and it'll make a big difference. If you've got the cash to blow on a model with a separate sub woofer then definitely splurge on that and get better sound, but at under $70 this thing is an impressive performer.

High quality, very pleased, better than average

They're suprisingly good. I shouldn't be surprised, but there it is: They're excellent. Crisper mids and highs than my old set of Klipsch ProCinema 2.1 and Logitech z5500 before that. Decent bass--I'm a bit on the fence of whether or not if they need a sub, they DON'T, but one probably wouldn't hurt either. They have 0 issue getting loud and delivering clean audio. I have half a mind to see if I can rig this up to my home cinema setup. Alas, it will not be so, they shall remain connected to my desktop.

Impressive, superior product for an incredible price! Highly recommend.

Magnificent machine. Overhead speakers add a lot, even when using Yamaha proprietary 11.1 surround (I have not had an atmos encoded source yet). For me personally, the entertainment value was increased dramatically when adding external amplification for front and center. I have experienced some internal 'computer glitches' requiring a return and\or repair, but I bought mine in the first few days of release.

I have found the set up and tweaks to be difficult but rewarding once understood. The remote is extraordinarily useful. Seems to be sounding better and better and there may be a break-in factor.

The 11.1 is definitely an improvement and I believe it will remain a standard from here on out.

Yamaha has made its move. Just like in their pianos and motorcycles, this company is relentless in delivering excellence and value by leveraging its engineering costs and narrow profit margins against a worldwide market and an irresistible price point -- something the boutique AV companies cannot do.

Highly recommended.

At this price I wasn't expecting much. I was also somewhat concerned because quite a few of the reviews are written by people who got freebies - I tend to discount these reviews since people aren't as critical of items they haven't paid full price for, but in this case this item really deserves the positive reviews. Since this is a headphone the most important aspects are sound quality and comfort. I have quite a few headphones including some that sound a lot better, BUT they all cost multiple times more than these did. I would describe the sound quality as "bright" and lively, they are definitely not "flat" but for pop music flatness is not necessarily what most people are looking for - if you're looking for a lively sound without tons of bass these would be perfect. As for comfort, these are very light and don't put lots of pressure on your ears, I can use them for quite a long period of time without them being uncomfortable.
Pros:
(1) Battery life is very good. I haven't had them for too long, but 10 or more hours at fairly loud volume is pretty darn good.
(2) Very efficient so you can get quite a lot of volume if you want and they don't distort when played loudly.
(3) The bluetooth range is about the best I've seen, probably about 45 feet or so without hiss or dropouts.
(4) I've used them a few times for placing and answering phone calls and they work very well for that. There's a little bit of an "echo" effect but it's easy to understand the caller and they hear me with no problem. It's really convenient to be able to move around and use your hands while on a call.
(5) The volume controls and track skipping controls are a real plus. They are placed a bit close together so it takes a while to get used to their location but many wireless headsets don't have these and they're really handy. For what it's worth I'm using these with a Samsung Note 4 and at least with this phone the controls work very well.

About the only con is their appearance. To me they look a bit cheap and they are mainly made of plastic. They certainly don't have the same fit and finish as my B&O, Sennheisers or other headphones but they also only cost a fraction of what they did. I have no way of knowing how durable they will be, but at this price I certainly won't be as critical as I would for expensive sets. To sum it up, I'm planning on buying some more as gifts for friends. This is one of these rare items where I feel like I got more than I paid for.

Oh my... where to start... First off, the very fact that MikroTik is even on Amazon, or anywhere else in the consumer retail channel, is miraculous, purely from the standpoint that their stuff is not, and I repeat NOT, for most consumers. Stepping up to this type of product favors at least geek-level enthusiasm, irrespective of whether you're coming to the product with a CCNP, or you're just a technophile whose tired of consumer-class shortcomings and is willing to self-educate. And while some may look at that as being a weakness, it's also perhaps the best reason to buy one of these... it's literally an $80 ticket to learning more about networking than one might have ever thought possible, while also being an incredible bang-for-the-buck for those who already know what they're doing and just want something dirt-cheap to "get 'er done".

As to this unit itself, last I checked it's the top end of the plastic models, with 5GbE ports and built-in 2.4Ghz dual-chain N wifi with an extremely powerful radio. And while it lacks the horsepower of its bigger brothers, it's plenty powerful enough to route most SOHO setups with ease (assuming no super-high bandwidth requirements for VPN, or other CPU-intensive stuff).

As for other reviews knocking stars off, those users are certainly entitled to their opinions, but I would suspect that they've probably misconfigured their setups and/or just don't have enough of a grounding with the product to fully utilize it potential and/or effectively troubleshoot the issues. Granted, there are bugs in RouterOS just like there are in any other OS, but a large majority of them only rear their heads when delving into fringe and/or bleeding-edge features that most users, especially Amazon types, will never encounter.

So to sum it up, a phenomenal offering. And the more one is willing to learn, experiment, break, fix, and rinse, lather, repeat, the more value I think one will find with a product like this.

Just got this system connected and, while not perfect, it is impressive.  I give it a strong 3.5/weak 4 stars.  Fact is, you cannot expect a 'one size fits all' component to be perfect in handling nuances between styles of music.  The only way to accomplish that, frankly, is with a separate equalizer.  I haven't yet tried a third party app for the iPhone to do any equalization, but since I accept the imperfection of a one-box system, I'm really not disappointed.  The KMC 3 handles mid-range and tweeter audio adequately for most, though it is stellar for some and mediocre for others.  The bass, however, is amazing for a box of this size and is above standard in response and in comparison to other systems of comparable price.

To be sure, I am a Bose fan and have several Bose portable sound systems.  I have no complaints about those, but I am a Klipsch fan from way back and wanted something with a bit more 'oomph' for my shop.  The Klipsch delivers.  I was able to get a decent sub-$200 deal on the KMC 3, so I would say for that price, the sound reproduction is worth the cost.  Not sure I would be so benevolent at $300+, however.

Pros:

Compact design
Ease of connection to Bluetooth enabled device
Incredible bass response
Dual voltage (only an issue overseas)

Cons:
D cell batteries?  Really?
Sound can get a bit muddy with increased volume...a factor of the bass overpowering the mids and highs, I think.
Very limited range with the remote
(nit pick) No tactile controls (not a fan of flush-mount, touch-sensitive controls)

So far, big band, Van Halen, April Wine, Pink Floyd and Robin Trower are reproduced faithfully and well, if not incredibly well.  Now, on to Zep...the true measure of any audio system!

UPDATE: 8 February 2015

Bought a second system for the house.  The white KMC 3 was discounted to $170 at my local store and, at that price, it's WELL worth the cost.  I enjoy the sound produced by this device and have now test driven it with all forms of music to which I listen.  Again, if you can find it at this price point, and can get past the idiocy of D cell batteries for portability, it's a great bargain.

Amazing... and for the price, it's even better.  def buy it.

Very impressive performance for the price. In my classroom at school I have a pair of Audioengine A5+ speakers with the A8 subwoofer which fill a large room full of students very nicely. For a small (12ft x 12ft) room at home I decided that a pair of the A5+ speakers would do the job on their own. They are good (and go down to around 50 Hz), but I really felt they needed some filling in at the bottom end. I couldn't justify an expensive unit like the A8 for such a small space but I didn't want to ruin good music with something 'cheap' (boomy or mushy). Based on reviews I got the Dayton Sub-800, and I'm glad I did.

On the minus side it didn't come with any connecting cables. I have a bag of spare cables left over from other systems but for some users this might be a frustration, which is why I've given it 4 instead of 5 stars.

On the plus side: I plugged everything in, set crossover to 80 Hz and gain to halfway, powered up, started a liquid dubstep mix..... Huh? Couldn't hear the sub! Confusion for a second or two until I tried turning the gain up and things got boomy, turned the gain down and the bass disappeared. I hadn't expected this level of quality - when properly set it merges with the regular speakers so nicely you can't hear it as a separate unit but you get a richer sound down to a much lower frequency. Simply outstanding at the price.

ps: two things you might want to note:
1)  Don't pass judgement until you've played it for a few hours. It seemed to me that like high end systems it took a little while to loosen up.
2) Even though it is very impressive at the price, don't expect it to do everything that high end systems will do. It's only rated down to 40 Hz so you'll miss out a bit on those bone-tingling infra-frequencies.

Wow, incredible device in the midrange pricing range.

This turned out to be much better than I had anticipated. I spend a lot of time in Europe, and I used to plug my US T-Mobile SIM card in my iPhone 4S when Stateside, and put its EU-sibling in my Nokia N9. When going overseas, the SIMs would swap phones. That way, my iPhone would always be my primary device to avoid racking up roaming charges eclipsing the national debt of certain countries, yet I would remain connected on both numbers.

But although the N9 was great for a while, when Nokia chose to steer itself off a cliff by going Windows phone something else had to come instead. Yes, I did buy a Lumia 800, but I found it infuriating to use. I really tried to like it, but I couldn't. It looked like the N9, but that is where the analogies ended short from both being good at holding down paper. The N9 had to come out of the drawer again, but its total lack of apps made it no better than a feature phone albeit with one tenth of the battery life.

So, not having used a Motorola since the Dynatac, this was quite a surprise! It is really fast, the screen is gorgeous - sharp with rich colors, the device is thin enough, the camera is quite ok, battery life is quite good, it is light enough, and, the phone is not too ugly. It is not an iPhone 6, which I did consider, but at one fourth the price I think it is certainly a lot better than you would expect. It's a black plasticky slab, but not worse than any Samsung out there.

The camera low light performance is a bit better than the iPhone 4s, but the imaging algorithms are a little worse in bright light. Onboard memory is only a few gigs, but I stuck in a 32GB micro SD card I still had laying around and memory is no longer in short supply.

It does not support LTE, but I tested download speeds north of 10Mbps and upload a little less than half that on a Finnish network. I assume it does not do HSPA-DC, which can give you here about 25Mbps down, but 10Mbps covers all my needs.

It came out of the box with Android 4.4, but it apparently is Android 5 capable.

It is good enough for me to start considering if I should reclassify my iPhone to secondary device and make this the primary one.

I was shocked with the quality of this for <$11.  I had been tempted to buy something more expensive to serve the same purpose - just because, at this price how good could it be?

Well, it's excellent.

It comes with a SATA slim to SATA internal adapter.
It comes with a molex to floppy-type power adapter ( that then plugs into the SATA adapter.)
It comes with a complete set of screws for the optical AND a HDD AND a floppy drive.

The only drawback was - well, it was slightly bent on arrival due to being packed in a padded envelope instead of a box.  That was easily pushed back out - no real issue.

I bought two - and now instead of two optical drives in my tower, I have two optical, a card reader with floppy and a 4 port USB 3.0 hub.

If you're trying to put too many things in too small of a case, this is a proper piece of kit for the job!

This thing is very impressive.  I was trying to find a reasonably-priced Bluetooth speaker(s) for the backyard and deck for parties and explored those fancy rocks, expensive wireless systems, and even considered (briefly) wiring up a stereo system and sending it out the kitchen window.  I was skeptical when I first read the reviews that said this could throw a clear sound far, but decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised.

I have used this, connected to my phone, on our medium-sized deck behind the house for several parties and found that:

1. The battery lasts a long time - have left it running for an entire evening and then sporadically throughout the next few days on a single charge.
2. The sound can get very loud - I set it off to the side, about 4-6ft away from the party and have to keep the volume on the low side because its loud.
3. The sound quality is excellent and extremely impressive, particularly a fan of the bass.

Now, if you're looking for something professional, you might not be a fan of this, but given the excellent price and size and the fantastic sound quality and battery life, I think it has the potential to replace some higher-end systems.

Have not tested out the water-resistant or microphone features.

Exceptional high quality, especially for the price point!!

Wow, I am just blown away by these headphones!!  For ~$50 they are truly incredible.  Pairing was simple once I stopped and read the instructions.  You have to hold the power button down a fairly long time.  The blue light will come on and blink, but you have to keep holding the button until the light blinks blue and red.  Computer and iPhone both picked it up instantly once the blue/red lights were alternating.  Piece of cake.

What really impresses me though is the sound.  Some reviews said good things, others not so great, but I can tell you these things have the range of a far more expensive set of phones.  Very nice, deep but subtle lows, scaled-back but clear mids and crisp, airy highs.  Lots of nice presence, again they just sound "expensive" to me.  I couldn't be happier, especially given their low price tag.

The phones fit over my ear and are just as comfortable as any other over-the-ear pair I've ever worn.  I can see them being more on-the-ear if you have larger ears, I have smallish ears and mine just fit over.

Nice amount of noise-canceling as well, not so much that if someone is trying to get your attention you sit there oblivious like more expensive, total canceling phones out there.

I'm not an audiophile by any means but I've always enjoyed quality-sounding music and these headphones are wonderful. Would not hesitate recommending them to anyone.
