" ... The Samsons sound just as rich for half the price and are way more comfortable. ... "
" ... These have a much more open, balanced, clear and articulate sound and are far more comfortable. ... Despite having the HD650's for over 10 years, I really never could love them but with these Samson's, I loved them straight out of the box. ... "
" ... They are not the most comfortable on my ears because these are “ on ear style”. ... "
" ... Furthermore, these are well-built exactly the way they look, as you would expect. ... "
" ... But I got some brainwavz earpads in a pleather material and they're fantastically comfortable. ... Budgeting in the extra 30 for earpads brings you to V6 prices. ... "
" ... I've always been used to cheap earbuds or skullcandy headphones, so putting these on for the first time was like a whole new world. ... "
" ... Excellent range and very comfortable. ... "
" ... These bad boys feel great on my ears and they sounds pretty damn good for the price. ... "

" ... I actually find these headphones to be quite comfortable. ... I have a big head and was worried it might be too tight from what other people said, but nope fit good. ... The ear pads aren't the best but they're fine and comfortable for long periods of use. ... I really like the open ear design too, it makes the music sound better and doesn't completely close me off from my environment. ... "
" ... But for $35 I'm really impressed with the audio quality and comfort. ... "
" ... The audio quality is great on these and the partially open ear design makes it great for wearing during recording sessions. ... "
" ... Very comfortable (With glasses! ... "
" ... Pretty good headphones for continuous listening, comfortable. ... "
" ... Having flexibility of movement and ears untouched by the headphone housing makes lengthy sessions a breeze ... "
" ... I also find them very comfortable, the ear pads are pretty big and surround my whole ears with no pinching despite them being firmly clamped onto my head. ... I could wear them all day without problems (even with my glasses). ... "
" ... I first noted how light and comfortable these headsets were, which was a relief because that was the main reason I bought them. ... The fabric material around the ear caught my eye and I have a particular preference for that style of headphone. ... The headphones are quite light, which helps to make them more comfortable, but the materials are a bit on the flimsy side. ... "

" ... Amazing quality for the price. ... "
" ... Great phones for the money. ... "
" ... Good audio quality for the money. ... "
" ... wished it had better material, but better material is more cost. ... "
" ... For thirty dollars?? ... "
" ... Fantastic headphones at a ridiculous price. ... :( At these prices that doesn't cost it a star though. ... "

" ... I've had these for a year and they are solid and going strong. ... "
" ... wished it had better material, but better material is more cost. ... "
" ... The construction is very light and possibly feels cheap, but as stated, they're quite strong. ... "
" ... Maybe if they improved the build quality. ... "
" ... Flexible and easily adjustable on head ... "
" ... I mean this not in the way of "I'm gonna break in a week" cheap, but in the "I'm sturdy and just feel very very light" kind of way. ... They have traveled with me numerous times and have yet to show any signs of wear on me, also at this price I wouldn't for a second 2nd guess myself on repurchasing if they were to break. ... "
" ... The build quality is certainly good enough, even a little bit better than I would have expected for the price, but it's not great. ... In spite of that, they feel sturdy enough and I don't get the impression that they'll fall apart any time soon. ... Looks-wise, they are very plain, and the build quality is only slightly above average, but they are definitely worth the price you pay for them. ... "
" ... The thin flexible plastic "skin" on the ear cups is really very very thin & I imagine that it will not last long but will see. ... "

" ... The cord is really long but it's easy to wrap up the excess. ... "
" ... 30 bucks to become an audiophile, dont even feel they are on my head causing me to trip ocasionally yet the cable never broke, would recommend saving and buying this and investing on more powah or an SSD ... "
" ... I appreciate the cord being longer than your standard earbud cord. ... I like these enough that I bought a replacement after my cat chewed through the cord. ... "
" ... Nice long 8’ cord. ... "
" ... The cable is very solid as well. ... "
" ... The 3 meter cable is standard for these style of headphones. ... "
" ... The quality seems pretty good save for the cord, which my young cat(he'd kill me if I called him a kitten) found delightfully chewable. ... I have other headphones here and their cords are undeniably more robust. ... "
" ... $50 to $60 is entering AKG 240 territory which may be a better purchase with their removable cable. ... "

" ... Studio style with Great sound, and can really hear what is happening in the room still. ... "
" ... I've been using these headphones for music,gaming, etc and I love them. ... "
" ... It's good for games and music. ... "
" ... Open-backed phones are meant to sound airy and be able to hear around you. ... "
" ... On a personal note I do not use these daily I'm a true lover my DT990's (Gaming and casual listening with a great sound stage) and the ATH-AD1000x's (for a equalized and detailed sound stage) So that bring me to my happy medium . ... That statement also goes for the gamers who are tired of listening to music and gaming on those unbalanced/unequalized "trashcans" (Turtle Beaches and Beats) Believe me for under 100$, better yet under 50$, I could not be happier. ... "
" ... I use them for pc gaming and so far they're great! ... "
" ... You can hear all the frequencies and nuance of effects with these phones. ... "
" ... Best pair of headphones under 100$ for gaming and music. ... "

" ... And the bass at lower volumes isn't great either ... "
" ... Also, if it's really quiet where you work, full volume is somewhat audible, at least they'll be able to tell if you're listening to music rather than a tutorial. ... "
" ... The plus or minus depending on how you look at it is you can hear room sounds ... "
" ... I don't get that room-filling bang-boom experience when I use them to listen to music. ... "
" ... I am using this set with my piano keyboard and everything sounds great, almost no static noise and there is some sound leakage just so people are aware. ... "
" ... Also very comfortable, light, and stops background noise. ... "
" ... Sounds are amazing, First headphones I've purchased i did not have to max the volume on my computer to use (System sounds at 26%, Video on webpage at ~50%, sounds just like it did before when i had to max both). ... "
" ... Works really well, would recommend if you are also trying to hear external room audio while using. ... "
