1. I love these earphones. The fact that they come in lots of different colors is cool, I personally own two, 1 for jogging and 1 for lounging around. Also, no standard earphones, especially apple earbuds, stay in my ears. But these don't budge, and the sound quality is awesome. The bass is really great which pumps you up more for a workout. Plus, the price point is great considering the quality.

2. These headphones have better sound than the $200 Shures I replaced! They were much more comfortable for me to wear, since I apparently have very small ear canals (on a big head- go figure!).
   
   Downsides? No cable management system, carrying case, or detachable lead cable (for inserting a microphone with a smartphone or iPhone). And the actual wires seem very flimsy - tangling easily and getting kinked.
   
   Overall, I would give them a strong recommendation if you like low end frequencies and an earbud type of headphone.Radius Atomic Bass - Headphones ( ear-bud ) - maroon

5 comments about Sennheiser HD 415 Versatile Open-Aire Ultra-Light Supraural Headphone.

1. For those who say it is uncomfortable, it's probably because you have a bigger head. Just extend the headphones to their max, and it should feel fine from there.
   
   Aside from comfort, the headphones do have great sound, and they're sounding better the longer I listen to them.
   
   The headphones, though, are made of cheap materials. That's the only drawback. otherwise, an excellent deal.



2. Very good cans for the money. Will impress most users except the demanding audiophile, then again, not audiophile priced headphones. Quite comfortable for long wear and convinient cable winder. Great gift item.



3. great sounding headphones.
   
   1 these headphones are huge, so there is the sound with them and the size.
   2 you need a little more power to drive them
   3 they sound great but not as good as the iluv noise cancellers. that is what is missing.



4. I've been in radio for 27 years and Sennheiser makes the best headphones on the planet. Period. These, however, are not their best effort. Sure, they sound great and are reasonably comfortable to wear, but the notched headband is not that sturdy and will strip inside of a year. Bring back the ond 414s!!!!!



5. I bought this pair as a replacement for a pair of HD 555's I bought and was EXTREMELY pleased with, as they got a short and need to be repaired. Luckily for you and me, Sennheiser's have a 2 year warranty with every set of cans, even this very economically priced one. That means if anything goes wrong with these headphones that you paid a measly $30-40 for in the next 2 years, you can send them in to be repaired for free. Sennheiser is all about quality, and it shows with every set of headphones they make.
   
   The HD 415's are not only very cheap, but for the price they are pretty damn good. they're nowhere as amazing as my HD 555's, but you're still going to hear a lot of detail that you just won't hear with ANY OTHER pair of headphones in this price range. It doesn't matter if it's Sony of Philips or what have you, in this price range you're NOT going to get any better than THIS PAIR OF HEADPHONES.
   
   It is true the Bass is a little muffled. It reminds me somewhat of Koss headphones of the past, which I enjoyed thoroughly because although the bass always seemed to be muffled with Koss, it did have a habit of bumping a bit, and that is a lot like what the HD 415's do. They won't offer the crystal clear clarity of Bass that the HD-500 series does, but if you're not a TOTAL audiophile or if you're strapped for cash like I was, these are a decent set of headphones for Bass.
   
   As for everything else, it does it great. I'd say the quality of the stereo is about 70-75% of what my HD 555's were, so for less than half the price you're getting a pretty good deal.
   
   Most amazing to me about Sennheiser is their ability to make a pair of headphones that is just.....the most comfortable thing you will ever put on your head. Yes, MORE comfortable than a nice worn in old baseball hat.
   This pair in particular I was amazed by, as the price didn't make it look as if the comfort would be very good at all, and if you look at the picture the actual cans look to be made from cheap and uncomfortable material.
   
   If that's what's stopping you, I urge you...BUY IT....TRY IT...this is one of the most COMFORTABLE pairs of headphones I have ever bought. The other one was my HD 555's. The first time I put these babies on though, I was SHOCKED. I literally couldn't stop smiling and laughing giddily as I realized that these headphones GENTLY CARESS YOUR EARS like a nice warm hug from a loved one. They could easily double as earmuffs for those in cold areas (such as myself) as they keep your ears nice and warm and fluffy. I'd say one could wear them for about 8-10 hours before becoming bothered at all.
   
   The only issue I have with this pair of headphones is that the cable is somewhat thin and not as protected as Sennheiser's HD-500 series, and as such you might have to be a little careful with them. However, the cable is also very long, so your only task is not to trip, you clumsy fool.

5 comments about beyerdynamic DT 440 Premium Headphones.

1. This is for the 990 headphones (I don't know why the reviews are for different series below). I recently got these and broke them in with 100+ hours of loud pink noise so they should sound as they're "going to" at this point. The construction is good and they are very comfortable around the ear. The headband could use a lil more padding perhaps, but no biggie.
   
   Now before I go into how they sound, I'll let you know where I'm coming from. This is my first pair of "real" headphones besides the cheap $20-30 sport kind, and I didn't audition any other brands before buying these, so this isn't really good for a headphone comparison. I do have very very very good speakers in my car (Dynaudio running off a McIntosh amp; JL Audio sub running off Phoenix Gold amp) and good tower speakers at home (Saturn - same company that makes Earthquake subwoofers - running off a NAD stereo amp). I'm running these headphones off the NAD amp.
   
   After the pink noise break-in, I tried out various tracks - mainly trance, rock, and hip-hop. Generally, these sound very good and I'm happy with my purchase. I can hear a lot of the high frequency detail I get from my Dynaudios and good high clarity (ex. a complex Radiohead track). There is a good amount of bass and vocals sound very nice.
   
   However, there does seem to be a slight bit of muddling in the mid range when there's a lot going on (vocals sometimes less sharp/clear when a lot of other sounds are going on. I'd prefer a little more clarity overall. The low end is there, but might overshadow the mids at times. The lows are good, but they don't really "hit" like I'd really like. Some Jay-Z tracks that go way low and slam don't really do it with these headphones. That low low thump is there, but sounds distant. The low end does a better job with the more standing bass wave like from a bass guitar or synthesized.
   
   As I said, I'm comparing these to a top end system so in a ways I'd be a little dissapointed if they DID sound as good as my car after all I put in it! That being said, all-in-all, I think they really do sound good and are very comfortable to wear. They play a lot of detail and 99% of the people buying these will think they're the best thing ever because it'll probably be the best they've heard. Plus, for the money (they were on Amazon discount over $100 off retail when I got these for $260) it's a great buy.
   
   The Grado 325s were considered, but are supposed to kill your head after 30 min. Sennheiser's were considered.



2. The DT 880 headphones are great. The sound is transparent and the treble is quite open. The sound stage does not feel congested at all. The bass can go deep and I think it might have a little too much bass. The mid range feels slightly recessed, but I managed to get use to after the first two or three hours of use. These headphones require quite a bit of juice before they reach their potential. I suggest matching these headphones with a dedicated quality headphone amp.



3. I was recently in the market for a new set of headphones and my audition process was lengthy and borderline obsessive. The result was a pretty good picture of what's out there for a reasonable ($600 or less) price. After listening to Sennheisers, Grados, AKGs, Etymotics, and Beyer, I came to the conclusion that the Beyer DT770s are nearly perfect for recording, monitoring, and mixing. I didn't get a chance to demo the DT880s, which some people rank amongst the very finest transducers in the world, but I'm sure they're even better.
   
   The AKG 240s are popular with the home studio/bedroom producer crowd (yeah, I too have a pair laying around) and since the 240s and DT770s are in the same general price range, I'll compare them most thoroughly. I've said this elsewhere, but my general feels are, Grados are best for low-power devices (e.g. iPods, Walkmans), Sennheisers are amongst the best for audiophilic listening, and Etymotics (and now Shures) are best for revealing every minute detail of a sound. Those opinions are based on owning and living with many pairs for a long time.
   
   So, where do Beyers fit in? They're awesome for anyone who wants a sealed headphone for noise isolation. They don't reduce noise to the extent that a canalphone like the Etymotics will, but then again, some people prefer not to stick tiny audio transducers way into their ears. Plus, sharing is not a problem. The DT770s will provide reasonable isolation even in noisy environments. They're a great choice for monitoring with drums. As a percussionist, my problem was always finding a headphone that cut out enough of my playing so that I didn't have to blast my eardrums every time I played with a click track.
   
   I tried the AKG 240s in these types of situations, but they fit substantially looser and a fair amount of noise leaks in. The fit is also a problem when you need to move. The Beyers firmly grip your head. There's not a lot of pressure, but at the same time, you can shake your head around and they won't move. They AKGs were always fatiguing after an hour or so, but the Beyers were so comfortable that I could all but forget I was wearing them.
   
   Sonically, the Beyers are impressive. My AKGs always seemed light on bass. I'm not a bass fanatic, but when there is heavy bass, the headphones should translate it without scaling it back. The DT770s were appropriately punchy when it was called for, and subtle, but present the rest of the time. I never felt like the bass had a distinct roll off in the audible frequency range. With a lot of headphones, once you get below 60Hz, the bass power reduces noticeably, but not so much with the Beyers.
   
   The midrange was quite smooth and blended seamlessly with the very precise highs. I wouldn't go so far as to call them crystalline, but they were very detailed and accurately reproduced the higher frequencies that get lopped off by lesser headphones. Overall, the sound was slightly more aggressive than with my Sennheiser HD600s. I think the HD600s are better if you just want to listen for pleasure, but when you're in the studio, you need something up-front and energized.
   
   When I heard the DT770s, I was listening through a Digidesign interface, which had a dedicated headphone amplifier. This is critical, because without proper amplification, these headphones are perfectly capable of sounding dull and lifeless with anemic bass and little dynamic range. They're not going to work with your iPod unless you add a portable headphone amp. Similarly, they'll play reasonably loud out of your computer, but the precision and dynamic range won't be there. The DT770s are rated at 250 ohms making them sufficiently high to require more voltage than your portable devices can deliver. It's not like they'll make an ugly sound running directly out of your iPod - just that with extra power, they really become something special.
   
   Overall, I highly recommend the DT770s to anyone looking to set up a home studio. They're analytical enough to reveal hidden details, but they still sound pleasing and won't fatigue your ears, even after long sessions. If you're wanting to listen directly from a portable device, the Grado SR60s will work much better. If you're wanting to listen for pleasure, I think the very high end Sennheisers are a little more musical. However, for all your recording/mixing/monitoring tasks, the Beyers are great. I highly recommend them



4. clearest highs i've heard in a pair of cans; full sound with well-tuned bass (maybe not for hip-hop and electronica bass-lovers, though); SUPER comfortable; classic studio style.
   
   however, be warned - works just alright straight out of an ipod or cd player, but can be a battery hog and really only does its best work when properly amplified, even with something as simple as a CMoy "Altoids-tin" op-amp - this really evens out the sound and make everything seems so much more present, and usually a little less dry, too.



5. I am so pleased with these headphones. I haven't auditioned
   the more expensive "audiophile class" headphones, but I doubt
   my ears could detect the difference. But then again, these may
   be as good as it gets, at least for the price. My primary genre
   is classical music, and I'm trying to compose this review as I'm
   listening to Brahm's 4th. Very difficult.
   
   I'm sure what one hears depends in large part on the equipment up front. I'm listening through a thoroughly antique CD changer (SONY CDP-C50). Nevertheless, I'm just so happy with these cans!

5 comments about Sony MDR-EX71SL/WK Fontopia Headphones (White).

1. I bought these headphones as a replacement to the standard Apple i-pod headphones. Pros: These headphones do a great job of isolating noise and provide a decent amount of clear sound. They are relatively comfortable if worn for two hours or less. Cons: I used these while working out, and the long cord became an extreme annoyance after a while. Also, the buds tend to slip out if they're not perfectly inserted in your ear. I tried the different sized earbuds, but in the end none fit perfectly. After long distance runs, all sizes eventually ended up falling out at some point during the run. The biggest frustration was that after about 3.5 months of owning the headphones, the left earphone ceased to function. This was truly annoying since it was just past the warranty period. I ended up having to purchase new headphones of a different brand and felt like I wasted my money.



2. I bought these to replace the standard ipod earphones. They sound good, and I think they block outside noise well.



3. I bought a pair of these several years ago, and when the left earbud recently stopped working, I liked them so much I bought another pair. I usually have trouble with in-the-ear headphones, but the three sizes of ear inserts allowed me to find a comfortable fit. (I had to use two different sizes, but they feel great.)
   
   The cord is too short, and the extension is too long, but a sort of case is included to wrap the extra cord in, giving you exactly the length you like. This works nicely and is quite compact. These are nice, especially for the low price. I would have given five stars if my first pair hadn't stopped working.



4. Pls do not buy any item from this vendor as they have sent me wrong item with correct receipt. in spite of mentioning them to refund the shipping charges, they have not returned the money. I had to pay for shipping and return charges from my pocket and tons of stress.



5. These are great headphones. They block out outside noise very well. I also love that they come with extra buds so that you can get the perfect fit.

5 comments about AKG K55 Lightweight Closed-Back Design Headphones.

1. Getting a pair of quality headphones is a great way to exhance your musical listening experience. The AKG K-55s are the headphones I use at home, being a fan of progressive rock "headphone records", they're kind of an essential. I've had them for many years and they work just as well as when I first got them. The sound is crisp and clear and the dynamic range is great (sounds good quiet, sounds good loud).
   
   The headphones come with a super long cable, which tends to be handy in a studio if the drummer in the back of the place wants to listen to the mix as he plays. It's quite handy for us regular people too. With such a long cable, you can get up and dance with them on in the privacy of your room, and no one will even know, cause they won't hear it. I do it all the time.
   
   The leather earpieces are comfortable and the headband is snug but not tight, often after I've stopped playing music through my laptop I forget to take them off! With nothing playing through them, you can still hear and talk to someone, but with the music up, you'll be hard pressed to hear anything else. I've almost missed my phone on a few occasions!
   
   I've heard that the bass is a little weaker compared to similar headphones. I haven't noticed that much, except when I whip up some homemade electronic music and use these 'phones to mix it, I usually end up with a bit more bass in the track to compensate. It's minor, really, though those who are or have to be strict audiophiles may want to invest in a more precise pair.
   
   Personally, though, I think the AKG K-55 is a great value pair of headphones. I'm going to be sad when my pair finally wears out, but that doesn't look like its going to be for a while yet.



2. I used to use these for practice on my Digital Piano; they worked great for 6-7 years before finally breaking down, though after all that faithful service I definitely feel they were worth the 35 bucks; intended for musical-instrument use (at least in my experience), but can handle some pretty gnarly signals from your output-device of choice, though the 3-foot chord may prove troublesome for such casual use. I give it 4-stars just based on what I was using it for.



3. I bought these to use in a loud office environment. In comparison to the Koss R/80s that I own, which are roughly in the same price bracket, these are a little brighter and have tighter bass response.
   
   The physical design is pretty good. The headphones are pretty comfortable, and the design should prove very durable for someone who tends to be rough on headphones. The Koss R/80s in comparison tend to break due to the use of thin plastics at key stress points, so these are definitely better in that area.
   
   My only real disappointment with the AKGs is how much outside sound they let in. Most sealed over the ears headphones provide a good amount of passive outside noise reduction, but the plastic around the headphone speakers on these is thin and apparently not sound dampened. So outside noise really just comes right though for the most part. If I cup the outside of the headphones with my hands the amount of outside noise passing though drops dramatically. So they are not really useful in noisy environments, and would definitely be useless on a plane.
   
   I know these are inexpensive headphones, but it would have been so easy for the manufacturer to make these great inexpensive headphones with just a couple of simple changes. Oh well.



4. I've used a few models of cheap headphone, and they are typically dreadful. These are the first ones I've used that have been good with strings, for example. Very good for the money.



5. First off I really really like large head phones. I also like loud headphones. I like the person next to me on the train, so i obviously want him to rock out with me! these headphones are great they isolate well and are of a reasonable price. also super comfortable for those long car trips.
   
   They seam durable and i;m HARD on my hear phones (I've broken 2 of those dinky sony's in a week)but i've only had them for 3 months

5 comments about Shure E500PTH Sound Isolating Earphones.

1. I purchased these from Amazon, and used them every day since. Great sound, but the wires won't stand long. I got mine taped cause the wires inside began to show after the outer rubber began to crack. And you can't change the wires because they're not replaceable. The only thing you can do is to fix them the hard way or ship them back to shure so be replaced.



2. I own three iPODs and listen to music about 3 to 5 hours a day. It helps me concentrate when working (i do some graphic art work) and block out noise and it puts me to sleep a few nights a week when I have trouble. I listen to everything from "fuzz" (white noise) to classical music, jazz,rock, bluegrass etc. so I guess i am a good "reviewer" and I felt obliged to pass along my experience as it has been fairly costly to obtain and could save others a lot of time not to mention money. So here's my take. By the way i am also a product design engineer, not that it helps me be a better consumer but rather i tend to see things more analytically than many consumers. So much for qualifications - this is still just my opinion -
   
   Having lived with ultimate ears super.fi pro 5EB (excellent bass) and before that the ultimate ears pro 5 both for a couple years now,AND having to replace the thin cord set on both three times - the last time - I opted for a pair of Shure E500PTH's their best earphones instead.
   
   My reasoning was based on my previous experience with Shure's most excellent V15 type III series of stereo phono cartridges (what are those) from back in the days of "record players".
   
   Anyone who could make such a tiny transducer that produced superb sound from plastic discs with bumps on them surely could make one of these ear buds. I also thought about there industry standard microphones. so I ponied up the $500 and gave them a try.
   
   Well lets get the audio performance out of the way -I must note that It is hard to do A/B comparisons because you can't just switch between speakers. Changing involves pulling these guys out of your ear canal and stuffing the other set back in which is a bit distracting from your sonic memory
   
   BOTTOM SOUND LINE - Yes they have excellent clear solid sound and decent bass response as I expected for $500 and they seem just slightly "cleaner with more separation both voice and instruments" than the UE 5EB's but with less bass (that's what the EB stands for i think - extended/enhanced bass so no big surprise there) BUT the differences are small and once I start listening with either one the music is so clear and enjoyable I forget any differences. But i prefer the Shure's
   
   HOWEVER just as critically helpful in delivering that awsome sound was I suspecct the volume control. Since the frequency response of your ear varies with volume you can "tune in" the best sounding sweet spot by adjusting the volume - and with your iPod up all the way this control can either whisper or blow your eardrums out. (in fact Shure puts a warning paper in the box advising you to listen at the lowest level - which sounds the best anyway to me)
   
   LET ME QUALIFY THAT - They sound really really good once you get the right sealed foam piece on the earbud so your ear canals are really isolated. I have one ear canal slightly bigger than the other so it took a while, but i guess everyone's ears are different both individually and in pairs which is why they give you so many different sleeve.
   
   Just like ultimate ears (UE), they come with an assortment of different sizes of foam and soft rubbery "sleeves" as they call them, to help you get that fit right. One thing they do have that ultimate ears doesn't is a moldable foam material on some of the sleeves that slowly re-expands when you squeeze it so it creeps shut and since it's solid I imagine it blocks out sound more effectively than the rubber umbrella design.
   
   Another difference is the heavier three piece cord - UE's have a single thin and very light weight cord with a right angle plug that goes into you iPod at one end AND at the other end(s) a stiff bendable wire sleeve at the earbud which bends around your ear and KEEPS the cord over your ears.
   
   The right angle plug keeps close to your iPod and out of the way and it is harder to accidently pull out like if you drop you iPod (heaven forbid - I do it almost once a day with no problems). They are very comfortable to the point that you forget there is a cord and that you have earphones on! AND IF THEY GO BAD since the cord plugs into each earbud assembly right at the ear - YOU CAN UNPLUG THEM and replace them, Lucky for me. The cords are only about $20 instead of the $100-150 for a new set of earphones.
   
   Shure E500PTH uses three pieces -
   1. a short headset cord that comes together at chest level under the chin ending in a female mini stereo jack plug
   2. a 2 inch long thumb-wheel volume control which has male and female ends and a short cord ending in a bulkier right angle jack
   3 a 2 foot or so long standard male/female straight steros mini jack cable that plugs into your iPod and of course sticks up an inch and a half or so bulging above your pocket and adding that extra length to your iPod
   
   Now i guess you can plug number 2 and 3 in reverse order so the handy compact right angle plug on the volume control is at your iPod but that puts the bulky volume control right there also since the cord it has is very short (about 4 inches from angle plug to volume control)
   
   ANYWAY - I thought the idea was to put the handy volume control right under your chin so you can just reach up and turn it down (or up if you like the next tune) which is what i like about the Shure E500PTH's
   
   On the downside Shure E500PTH uses no such bendable sleeve - the wire is molded into the earbuds so i guess if it goes bad after the 2 year warranty your out the $500 but it seems more durable than the UE's. Because the cord just winds over the ear, I found the cord kept falling from around my ear and pulling at the earbud unsealing it until I pushed the cowboy-hat-like rubber cinch that holds the two cords together, up tight under my chin. Yee-Ha with a strangle hold - well it isn't really that uncomfortable but you feel it up under the chin like a cowboy hat cord.
   
   BUT this stiff bendable wire that keeps the UE's cord over my big ears is right where my UE's cord frayed and broke down so maybe this could be a hidden drawback for UE's
   
   Shure E500PTH's heavier bulkier cord, while more durable, is always there making its presence known, with the volume control dangling from it.
   
   I guess that's the trade off and why my UE cords eventually broke - and in fairness I should mention that I frequently fall asleep listening to my ipod in bed so there's a cord stress test.
   
   After listening to the Shure E500PTH's for a while and adjusting the volume with each song, I put my UE's (the 5EB) back in and they seemed to have a stronger bass but very similar sound not noticablly worse or better -both excellent.
   
   so i guess if i could put UE's feather light cord on Shure E500PTH's earbuds and add a magic lightweight volume control AND make the cord DURABLE - NOW THAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE EARBUDS



3. I have owned the Shure E500PTH for 4 months now and would definitely spend $379 to purchase them again.
   
   I use them mostly for going to the gym and working out with free weights, elliptical machine, and Stair Master. They nearly eliminate the clang from weights, noisy AC, and loud background music, and leave me with crystal clear, well balanced, full range music from my iPod. The cord is not microphonic and produces no added noise, even at a fast pace on the elliptical machine.
   
   The E500PTHs are so clear that I can hear the difference between low and high bit rate music. In fact, I have gone back and encoded most of my CDs to Apple Lossless format.
   
   As many other reviewers have commented, I can hear background instruments, vocals, and effects that I never knew were in my music.
   
   I took the advice of other reviewers and gave the E500PTHs a 20 hour "burn in" with my iPod on 3/4 volume. I noticed a huge increase in clarity and tone after the "burn in" period.
   
   I also read the manual for proper insertion of earbuds, and have found that the best technique for getting a good seal is to pull down on the bottom of my ear lobe while pushing the earbuds into my ear canal.
   
   I do not use the PTH module since it is too bulky to wear at the gym. It is very easy to get the earbuds back in and quickly get a good seal. I tried the foam, hard rubber, and soft rubber inserts in different sizes, and have found the soft rubber to get a perfect seal and stay in my ear despite a fast pace and sweaty face.
   
   These earbuds are very durable. They have been dropped, sat on, and sweat on for 4 months and still look brand new.
   
   The accessory kit is awesome. I love the durable aluminum case. The included wax removal tool works perfect. There are many different sizes and types of inserts. And best of all, the included cords and adapters ensure the earbuds will work in almost any environment.
   
   Over 500 miles of cardio and 100 trips to the gym and I am still in love with the E500PTHs!



4. For people who are not satisfied with the free earphones that came with your ipod and for those who believe that listening to quality music demands quality equipments then the Shure E500 Noise cancelling Earphones are for you.
   
   
   I plugged the E500 to my ipod and pressed play, the sound quality was beyond any I had ever heard from a pair of headphones. The best way to describe the listening experience would be , like having music wired straight to your brain. The isolators are very good in cancelling outside noise, it is so good that shure developed a voice port module that would enable you with just a flick of a switch, and the outside world come back in, thanks to a microphone embedded in the line.
   
   Another downside would be that it has a lot of wires to contend with especially when the voice port module is connected. I find this to expensive for an earphones, because of its high quality. So if you are serious with your music and have the extra money, this would be worth every dollar.



5. I went from the E3Cs to these in November last year. I could not believe the improvement in sound quality: the tonal response is smoother and flatter, and the dynamics jump out at you. Really, REALLY good.
   
   And then a friend recommended the Sensaphonics custom sleeves to go with them. He let me try his -- OK, the fit was not very good, and it was a little uncomfortable, but with the sound being delivered further down the ear canal, I was truly astounded by how much better the listening experience was. I was hearing stuff in the music that I just had not known was there. Of course, I soon made an appointment to get my impressions taken, and the sleeves ordered.
   
   At a total of $570 ($400 for the IEMs, and $170 for the sleeves) this is NOT cheap. However, the sound is superior, noticeably, to the sound I get from my $2500 speakers driven bi-amped from my $4000 CD/pre/power setup (listening from the headphone jack on the pre-amp).
   
   I really can't say enough good things about this combination.
   
   Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!

1. I bought these because I really liked the lanyard so the iPod could hang around my neck when I exercised. That is a great feature BUT, the Right headphone stopped working about 4 months after I bought these. I bought another pair and eventually the Right headphone, again, stopped working. The sound volume isn't good either!! Unfortunately, I bought mine at a big box retailer for $49.99. Do yourself a favor and buy a pair of $20 headphones where BOTH headphones will work and the volume is MUCH better!
