Excellent value for money and very loud.
I bought these as I needed a cheap pair of headphones for my laptop. I wasn’t expecting much and didn’t even bother to read reviews.
I was lucky!
These headphones may not be to everyone’s taste style wise. Personally I think they look a bit garish with the gold, however, my wife finds them classy and oozing quality.
The jack is to the side and seems to be well made, so hopefully it won’t start playing out of one ear any time soon.
The cord is about a foot longer than regular headphones. Perhaps 1.5m compared to 1.2m. For me this is great! Also, the cord itself is anti-tangle and corded. Seems to be of good quality.
I have read reviews since purchase and noticed that some were saying that the headband wasn’t adjustable. This is not the case; they are fully adjustable. I have a large head and my wife has a small head, plus I have a 9 and an 11 year old and they fitted us all perfectly. I found them to be very light and comfortable. The headband and ear cups are very soft. I have worn them for over 6 hours at a time and found them to be just as good as any on the ear headphones I have ever worn.
All the above is great, but where these excel is certainly in the sound quality. They sound like they should cost well over £100. I’m no expert, just an armchair reviewer, but I will try my best.
Firstly, they are incredibly loud! Crank up the volume and these things effortlessly handle drum and bass without sounding painful. The bass is rich, vocals warm and the highs don’t pierce your brain. I tried a bit of Simon and Garfunkel and they were beautiful. I have played them on my laptop, kindle fire, iPhone and Android work phone. I have played an eclectic range of music and these have handled everything right up to max volume without distortion. I love bass driven music and the bass is perfect for me, but can be increased with an equaliser to sound like Beats, but for a fraction of the cost!
I cannot recommend these enough. If you get a good price, you will not be disappointed. They have saved me quite a lot of money too, as I was about to invest in a headphone amplifier and now I’m not going to bother.
