Crap, then I’d have to hear him point out useless “points of intrest” along the way to my mom. On the other hand, I really hate headphones I have to stick into my ear…
My friend said they’re the most comfortable and best sounding headphones he’s ever used. He says they’re comparable to those he bought for $100. And finally, this person said that it was $10 less than he paid for it, last time it was on Woot.
I bought this when posted last time. Great headphones! They are very comfortable - and I wear glasses. Just the right amount of pressure. They are NOT noise cancelling but they do a good job of muting the sounds in an office environment.
Today’s woot enabled me to buy a second set to keep at home.
These are not noise cancelling, nor are they noise isolating. Meaning, in my office where I use them, I can still generally hear if something is going on around me provided the volume is reasonable. From what people around me say, there is almost no perceptible noise leaking out when I listen. They are the most comfortable over the ear headphones I have ever worn (compared to Shure, Beyerdynamic, Grado, Sony, mostly). The sound is nice and fun to listen to, doesn’t tire me out after a 2-3 hours, but I find the bass to be difficult to find all the notes in and distorted, though there is plenty of it. Human vocals sound really, really warm to my ears.
Overall, I was happy to buy them for $65, for $50+s/h they are unlikely to be a disappointment.
From what I have ready about these I don’t feel they are by any means worth the MSRP they want. If you really like the colours you won’t be disappointed with the sound for the money you’re spending.

Yes, it was $10 more last month for these headphones, but they were $20 more when I bought them here in April. I’ve gotten my $20 worth in that time, though.
