Customer Reviews

Rating: - Very Pleased
These headphones are great. The chord is long, but you are given a thing to store excess. These things are very comfortable and sound great. A lot of these reviews talk about the base being strong, but I have two things to add to that. One, the bass was too strong at first (for listening to stuff like blues and less bassy stuff), but it calmed down and now it sounds great. Also, you might not be accustomed to REAL bass when coming off of iPod headphones, so that might lead people to that conclusion. ... Read More
Rating: - Weak
Although these headphones produce high quality sound, they are very quiet.I have a pair of $5 basic headphones that play music louder than these.If you are somebody who prefers to listen to something at a low volume these are probably good headphones, but if you are somebody who likes it loud and powerful then these will disappoint.I got them to watch movies on my laptop but I'm having trouble hearing the dialog sometimes even at full volume.
Rating: - Great step up from earbuds for portable devices

I am able to hear things in the music that I did not hear with my old ear buds.I am no ... Read More
Rating: - works great
After reading several reviews I decided to go with this pair because the next ones up were $10 more but said to not have any noticeably better sound quality. They probably looked a little cooler though -- the black parts in the picture for the 457's are all fabric-y and the headphones don't have a hole cut out for your ear like some other 'phones might have.

I bought these to use while working on projects because there's a girl who sits near me who talks loudly and incessantly about things ... Read More
Rating: - Second Pair -- Great Sound For Great Price
For the price range of these headphones, they're great.Nice basss response and crisp highs.There have been some complaints in other reviews about muddy or thumpy bass.I can see their point, but there's an easy solution -- adjust your EQ.I'd rather have too much bass that I can control than no bass at all.The other complaint was the weak wires.My first pair did have a wire that broke, but it was due to a family dog getting a hold of them.I'd had that pair for two years and they'd gotten banged ...
