pretty good.

Strengths: soft earcups, included 1/4" adapter, great sound (in particular, great bass), flipping speakers, and even though it's over-the-head style, it looks good and doesn't pinch hair.

Weakness: highs are somewhat muffled.

good for the price, for sure. some complain about sound being too low with some devices -- i haven't noticed anything like this. the sound is always loud enough as far as i can tell. being closed-back, they do block a middling amount of external sound, but not all of it. you could still carry on a conversation with these on. the cord is nice and long if that's what you need (2 meters, i believe)....

the cord is nice and long if that's what you need (2 meters, i believe). also, the rubber coating on the cord is very high quality - it's thick enough to keep the cord from getting creased, and it also doesn't tangle easily (a BIG plus). yes, it's rubber, not plastic - a welcome improvement.

these are not for the audiophile, as the highs are very muffled, and the bass isn't quite as rumbly as one might like. it seems like the strong point of these is the mid-low range. still, these do give great sound for the price. on a budget? you probably couldn't get a better deal than these.

Been looking for headphones beyond...

Strengths: +Overall Pleasing +Lower Price +Long Cord +includes headphone jack converter +Sound quality

Weakness: -Construction seems weak -Squeeses sides of head

Been looking for headphones beyond the cheap, foam-covered ones that will literaly deterorate while you're wearing them. I'm definetly pleased with this sony I came across. Comfortable for me to wear, and the cord length is always appreciated. Sound is clear, though this may not be enough base for some people.

Been looking for headphones beyond the cheap, foam-covered ones that will literaly deterorate while you're wearing them.
I'm definetly pleased with this sony I came across.

Comfortable for me to wear, and the cord length is always appreciated.
Sound is clear, though this may not be enough base for some people.

"Construction seems weak" is for one of the joints connecting the Earcup to the whole unit feeling as if it could come apart. being only one side, this is probably just my unit.

If you want quite decent headphones, this is a good bet. If you're an audiophile, or never remove headphones from your cranium, perhaps you should look at a higher price range.

----Added 2/4/05
After using these headphones for a good deal of time, I've found they squeese the sides of my head, becomming quite uncomfortable at times. Perhaps its just the size of my own head, but I don't consider my noggin too big or small. Keep this in mind when purchasing.

Though it has some weakness, it is...

Strengths: Very good for this price.

Weakness: Two cable.

Though it has some weakness, it is hard to find better headphone for this price. If you are finding a headphone less than $20, choose this one!
