I’ve owned these headphones for over a year now after buying them at Best Buy. They haven’t made my ears sweaty, even with hours upon hours of continued usage. The one thing that I can complain about the fit is that they compress my ears a little bit (but that comes with having an abnormally large cranium).
As far as value goes, these are fantastic! Great sound quality and the in-line controls are great. The biggest drawback on these is that the hinge on the earpieces can get stained and snap under extremely extensive usage.
I’ve had these for about a year and have since bought and sold many headphones online. These are one of the few keepers. They sound great, the inline controls are a plus, and they are one of the few that are comfortable on my relatively large head (7 5/8 hat size), and large ears. My daughter and wife also find them comfortable for their smaller heads and ears.
I thought I got a good deal at $70, and at this price they are a steal.
My favorite pair so far. Better than the Beats, Soul’s, my Sennheisers, and the Klipsch M-40’s. My buddy has Beats Solo and agreed that these were much better. Nice heavy bass.
If you see the x-10’s in ear on sale, they are great also.
I just bought two more pairs of these. Can’t beat the sound for the price.
just to be sure, these are NOT noise-cancelling correct?
My Bose set is plenty comfortable, but the earpieces are showing their age since the only time I wear them are outside when mowing(In Florida) and usually that’s about 5 hours at a time to mow the whole property.
I could be wrong, but I’m guessing no. I bought some other high-quality phones that had iPhone/iPod/iPad controls/mic. While the audio worked perfectly, the mic and controls did NOT work on my HTC Android phone. I plugged them into a friend’s iPhone and they worked fine. So, I sold them to him and bought some Beats that have Android compatible controls.
I bought the 1st gen versions of these last time they were on woot (same price) for the wife. I was SOOO impressed with them, that the next time woot had them on sale again, I bought a pair for myself.
I usually use them for falling asleep to, laying on one side night after night and they haven’t crushed or broken. I use them for drumming too, the pads are able to keep a ton of the harsh noise out while still letting me be able to listen to music to drum to.
I use them on my iPhone, but right before I got them, I still had an android phone and the volume/pause controls worked just fine on it too.
They are amazing headphones. Clear highs, rich lows, nothing sounds muddled at all.
I would only hope the Gen 2 versions of these are even better.
At $50, these are an absolute steal. Forget the name “beats” and buy a few sets of these instead.
