" ... Other than that, it's a great product for the price. ... "
" ... Great for the money. ... "
" ... For the price (~10), they're worth it. ... "
" ... Excellent for the price! ... "

" ... The covers came off and we can't get them to stay on. ... "
" ... The earpiece falls off easily. ... "
" ... Within the first week the pads fell off. ... "
" ... My biggest gripe is that the earpieces constantly fall off the track, so I have to be very careful handling the headphones. ... "
" ... Pretty heavy so they hurt the top of your head, the fit also seems super tight. ... "
" ... Earpieces are way too small to fit "over ear". ... They are also very tight. ... My ears don't fit inside and they feel very uncomfortable. ... "

" ... I would not recommend these for children - they would be a better head fit but the cords will suffer metal fatigue and stop working. ... "
" ... Don't know why amazon will brand this?, As upon arrival cable wire from the left side of the head phone came off and had to be tapped off. ... "
" ... Cord is also very short. ... "
" ... A few days after receiving the headphones I snagged the cord on something and dropped them, after that the right speak stopped working. ... "
" ... The issue I'm anticipating is a design flaw with the cord. ... I've seen a few cheap headphone brands that fix this issue by using a braided cord, so there's nothing to bend and break (the cord is inside a hard armor all the way down to where it plugs in). ... The cord issue and the cushions sliding off take it from a 5 to a 4. ... "
" ... The wires that connect to each ear feel like they could be torn out easily. ... "

+100%
" ... I do appreciate the balanced frequency response, no exaggerated bass or any other unpleasantness. ... "
" ... also good bass! ... "
" ... The bass is adequate and true to life, the midrange and highs are clear, and I'll be ordering a few more pairs because I'm afraid these may disappear or go up in price. ... "
" ... Base is pretty good. ... "
" ... These are light, snug (which I prefer) and the sound seems to have a flat frequency response (not too boomy bass or tinny highs). ... "
" ... - highs can sound a bit muddy at times ... "
" ... With the sound quality and Bass quality you get with other brands that cost around 25-35 bucks. ... "
" ... Great quality, great bass. ... "
