Headphones Reviews

For the cheap price these headphones can be purchased, they are a great set. Very good sound, but more importantly for me, extremely comfortable!

These are by far the most comfortable headphones, and they sustain comfort over long periods of time. I have yet to wear them to the point where my ears start to ache -- I'm not even sure that such a time exists.

The design is ingenious. Less significantly, they look pretty cool. The sleek black ear pieces are pretty small, and are very easy to slip on. Since they have no plastic band connecting the two earpieces, as would your typical headphones, they are very easy to wear in bed or in a tall-headrest chair.

I rated the product at five stars -- there are certainly better headphones on the market, but from what I've seen and experienced, these are by far the greatest value for a low-priced set.

i just got these a couple days ago and was actually really hoping to get a set of sony headphone. however, amazon was sold out on the sony so i opted for the aiwa. im extremely happy with them. great sound and very comfortable. at first i was worried that they were "too" comfortable and werent secure. however, i realized that its not that they were secure, its just that they are actually that comfortable. im very happy with these headphones and was quite surprised to find that they actually have a sparkling look to them. i thought they were going to be solid black but i guess aiwa put a reflective marterial inside to make them reflex light.
anyway, im happy with these. good price for a nice set of headphones.

As I know this is another version of Aiwa HP-EC1 selling in Asia.
They are cheap but give you great performance.
With this cheap headphone you can hear full range of music instruments with high clarity, good bass, exceptional spatial effect and it cover nearly all sound frequencies.

I have test HP-EC1 with many kind of music from Classical to Russian pop.
This headphone is well respond, you can hear every instruments in Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" and it is the right headphones that can bring you to dwell in Asgard to observe those Aesir untill the Ragnarok come.

On Chinese Ancient instrument "Gu Qin" I was surprised with its ability to reproduce subtle sound of instrument and every effect of artist's finger technique including those "artistic noise".

For piano music such as Shubert, Liszt, Ravel or Beethoven this headphone perform fairly well. The sound can be considerably a bit too thin. (I compare it with Audio-Technika headphone which is much more expensive anyway)

On pop music, it is perform very well on those I tested -> Highland, Gubin, Viagra, Malikov etc. with stunning sound.
Also nice sound on "Neoclassic Heavy Metal" from Yngwie and "Hard Rock" from Europe.

There are some points to concern, first, this headphone's design is strange -> you should leave air gap open between headphone and your ear. This give you good sound but the sound also not as loud as other headphones of the same class.
Second, since you have to leave air gap so it use the foldable clips to clip it to your ears. This make this headphone harder to clip to the correct position.
Third, the version sold in Asia, some were made in China. Even they were manufactured under very strict Japanese quality control but I used to saw one that got problem with its housing that can give resonance noise on some frequencies. This problem is easily handle by just pressing the housing to make sure they are firmly fixed together. Anyway it is annoying.

Last word, this is really cheap but best headphone in the market. It is one that I recommend to my friends.

Well I am not a Audio Engineer but my own ears are my best judge.
I was ready to shell out $100 for a decent head phones and I tried Maxell,Aiwa,Panasonic,Sony(Mdr V150,V300) and Sennheiser and also the Titanium diaphragm one of Radio shack. I also tried AKG K320 and also a couple from Beyerdynamics. But Labtec Elite 840 is simply great not only in quality ..but also in price. However Sennheiser one for $99 and Akg was also good. But this headphone is truly awesome for a lesser price. Only bad news is its NOT in production as per the customer service person from Labtec. I was the lucky one to get the last one from Amazon ! .

This pair of headphones are the best I have ever used. The sound quality is amazing and the bass does not distort at high volumes.

These feature self adjusting earcups and headstrap, so there is no adjusting to do. These are very comforatable and i have worn them for hours together without discomfort.

Overall, i think this is a very good purchase!

Music i've heard for review : Pink Floyd, Metallica among others
Other headphones tried: Sony, Labtec 835

There is very little I have to say about these headphones, because they're SO good, it is really impossible to describe them adequetly. The comfort of these headphones is UNSURPASSED, period, large head, small head, glasses/no glasses, big or little ears, THESE THINGS FIT PERFECT. You'll forget you're even wearing them. They have a velvety soft material for the ear cups, you will feel more comfortable wearing them than you do not wearing headphones. NO JOKE. MOST IMPORTANT, the sound quality is INCREDIBLE, and I'm an audiophile, I love music, and I play many games. It is essential for me to hear all the highs, lows, bass, etc. As well, when playing games, I need to feel as though I am IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THESE HEADPHONES DO ALL OF THIS AND MORE. Plus, they have a long 10ft cord from one ear, and they block out ALL NOISE. I was looking for a cheap pair of earphones, and now I have these Labtec 840's, and I use them more than BOTH my Sennehesier or Sony pairs. THE BEST HEADPHONES OUT THERE, and if you're looking for something cheap, THIS IS IT. You will never regret these headphones. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THEM!!! Thanks.

i dont know why i bought these. oh yeah. i do, cause they were mad cheap. plus, from the reviews that i read. (the two ratings that are on every site i have looked up) i thought these looked pretty cool and i was excited that you could sleep with them on without being strangled by the cord the next morning. they really did look cheap in the box. and they were kinda hard to get on. probably cause i have 3 earrings on one side. including a cartilage. but. besides that they really are comfortable, secure, and really light. overall, these are pretty good. the bass is really quiet, but its good quality none the less. the music plays through the earphones though. maybe my music is a little to loud. but you can hear the music, even if its not on your ears.

After returning some really lame earbuds I got, I needed some headphones that actually stayed attached to my ears and I could preferably lay down with. Oh yeah and were cheap, poor schmucks like me need the cheap part. Anyway these are pretty darn nice for all of the above. Oh the sound is pretty good too (you know, if you care about things like sound quality or something when you buy headphones) Sadly I think my ears are a bit small with makes them sit at a somewhat strange angle but for everyone else in my family they fit nicely. So if you too are a poor schmuck who needs good comfortable sleeping headphones (and don't have smallish ears) then I highly recommend these.

I wanted a set of headphones to wear to bed, so I could fall asleep listening to music without disturbing my roommates. I've always been impressed with Panasonic's quality of product, and so I browsed for Panasonic headphones that looked like they wouldn't hurt if I lay my head down on its side while wearing the headphones. I've found that out of the headphones my friends have, the most comfortable ones were the ones that fit around and behind the ear, without the annoying over-the-head strap/band. I saw this set and thought they might just be the thing I was looking for.

I received them from amazon.com/J & R about a week after ordering, and I am extremely happy with them. The first time I held the package it came in, I thought, "No way, this feels so light. Almost cheap..." I opened the box, and I handled them, and to my surprise they felt really well made.

What made my jaw open in shock was how I felt after I put them on -- YOU CAN BARELY TELL YOU'RE WEARING THEM!! It's damn amazing how well designed they are, how unobtrusive, how COMFORTABLE. If there's one tiny, tiny, tiny complaint, it's the color of the cord (white) and also how it doesn't really hit lows as well as most headphones. It plays bass clear and wonderfully, just not as loud.

I've been using them for about 3 weeks now, slept with them on regularly, rolled around in my sleep as usual, and they've worked as perfect as they did on day one. That's a testament to their quality right there. My friend was thoroughly impressed and wants me to order him a pair as well.

Don't pass these up if you're looking for light-weight, comfortable, durable headphones. Me, I'm gonna go order a few more right now.

This player is amazing small, sleek and beautiful. I have the Philips 401, loved it for it small factor using 8cm cds, but found it a bit too bulky. When I got this, Philips 431, my jaws dropped, 3/4 as small and twice as beautiful. I personally think this is the best deal for money for mp3 players. Here are my reasons:

1. Size. It's true that you can fit 2-3x times more songs on a normal size cd, but the normal size cd player are much too big compared to this. I have the iriver-350 as well, thin and nice but still too big compared to this exp 431.

2. Storage. One could argue that memory-based/hard disk based mp3 players are much smaller than this. But what about the cost? I find the cost for memory/hard disk mp3 players way too expensive. If a cd get scratched, we simply write another cd. But if you hard disk gets screwed up, there goes your couple of hundred dollars. As for the memory-based players, it's too much effort and time to download different songs each time. And for that money that you are paying???

Oh, and did I forget to mention that this wonderful player reads id3 tags as well, so you know what song you are playing!! And with the 480sec skip protection, you can easily bring it with you anywhere :)

I bought this awesome Mini CD/Mp3 player two day ago... IT'S EXCELENT!!! Seriously, don't serch any more. It has hundreds of functions, it works prefectly well. I dicided to buy exactly this player because of several reasons:
1º-It is amazingly small, you can take it around in any pocket
2º-Lots of songs fit in 1 Pocket CD if recorded in Mp3 format (between 40-45 songs, 4 and a half minutes each)
3º-The music quality of Mp3 format is as good as WAV (wich makes it better than a mini Disc that uses ATRAC 3)
In fact I couldn't beleive the amazing sound quality that PHILIPS has put into this particular player; I'm a maniac when it comes to music quality and both the player and the headphones ROCK!
Mini CD/Mp3 players are not common at all but definately SHOULD!
Believe, me if you are looking for the same things I wrote above in a player, buy this one... you won't regreat it; seriously.

Stop shopping, this is the one to get. And this is the store to buy from, with Amazon's top service.

These are the things I like about this MP3 player:

Quality construction, small size, nice layout of controls. It has a slide switch on the back to disable all the buttons, so you won't disrupt playback when it is in your pocket. The skip and search controls act like the ones on a CD player. You can press the forward and reverse buttons to go to the next or previous song. If you hold them down, they scan through the song. There are album forward and reverse buttons to skip directly to the next or previous album on your disc. Albums are a group of MP3's in a directory or folder on the disc, which you determine when you burn the disc. It recognizes and displays title and artist tags in the MP3 files if they are there. It also recognizes Joliet-formatted discs so you can use long filenames for the songs. I recommend keeping the filenames to less than 50 characters long because some players have trouble with very long filenames. This player displays the first 39 characters of long filenames, and otherwise does not appear to have a problem with long filenames. There are 2 levels of bass boost and 1 level of treble boost. The battery compartment is inside the lid underneath where you put the CD. The compartment has a hinged lid, so it won't come off and get lost. A remote control comes with the player that can optionally be used between the main unit and the headphones. Other accessories included are a wrist strap, AC adapter, and one blank disc.

These are the things I like about the pocket CD format:

Pocket CDs are so much fun. This format gives you more freedom from your computer, compared to relying on your computer's hard disk space and repeatedly downloading onto just a few memory sticks. You can actually afford enough blank media to convert your whole CD, tape, and record collection to pocket CDs. Disks are typically 210 MB each and very inexpensive when you buy a spindle, and each will hold 3 to 4 hours of music. I like putting whole box sets of Cds on one or two pocket CDs. The CD's you burn for this will also play in most DVD players, so if you have your DVD player connected to your stereo, there you have another way to listen to your collection.

I bought this as a way to get back at my kids for all those jokes they play on me. it's so funny, they can't figure out how I make the sounds in the phone. They're dying to know, but I wont' tell them. It's my secret women. The chicken and crying baby sounds crack us all up.

My cousin bought me the RAZZ for an early Xmas present. It's really cute, light, and easy to use. I am having such a great time "razzing" my friends! I even 'razzed' my dad and got a big laugh! I've bought some for stocking stuffers already. I checked out their website to see what other cool accessories they make and found a mirror and light back plate that looks really great.

I was going to buy a headset for my phone and came across the RAZZ. As soon as I received it, I started razzing my friends. Since then, a bunch of them bought it and we've harassing each other. Good stuff. Looks cool. Easy to use. 20 bucks well spent.

I had been looking for a good pair of headphones for a reasonable price for a long time when I happened to try these headphones in a CD shop. (The shop was using them to allow customers to listen to used CDs before buying.)

I have tried every conceivable type of headphones costing less than $20 around: the Sony stick-in-your-ear style, the original Walkman style, the ear bud style, the Panasonic clip-to-the-ear, etc. There is something wrong with the sound quality for each of those types.

These headphones only cost a little more, but the quality is much better. I believe that this is due to two factors: the neodymium magnets, resulting in better bass and treble, and the behind-the-head style which keeps the speakers closer to your ears, allowing you to hear all the sound.

There is one disadvantage to these headphones for me: I wear glasses, and the headphones pinch my ears against the eyeglass frames. To get around this I just sit the eyeglass earpieces on top of the speakers.

I'm not associated in any way with EarHugger, Amazon, or anybody else that has anything to do with these headphones. I'm just an ordinary customer.

This is guarantee by me that you wont regret after buying this. You wont regret ever.

I don't know about you, but I can't stand all those headsets that have small boom microphones or just earbuds. They either fall off or produce terrible sound.

But this headset is the perfect option. The band goes behind your neck, so no one can really see it. But it keeps the headset perfectly in place. Then the boom comes all the way out in front so the sound is perfect.

I love these and don't know why they are the most popular type of headset. They should be.

I use this headset regularly while I drive, it sounds clear and keep me from having an accident! I even take it on my trips (flight attendant for Delta Airlines) and use it during my layovers. I also use JTH940 at home with my cordless phone, can't imagine my life without them.

I have a big screen with only one HD capable component input. Unfortunately, I have HD and a progressive scan DVD player. This fixed the problem beautifully. It works great and the price was right!

This JVC component switcher does everything easily and well. It does not require a seperate power source and it is very easy to set up. It allows you to hook up several component electronics to your HDTV with little signal loss, meaning that pictures will look just as good on your HDTV. Most HDTV's come equipped with only a few component hook-ups, so this unit simplifies your a/v connections without having to switch out your other units everytime you want to use another system(i.e., XBOX, Gamecube, Directv). Most of us digital tv owners have several units to hook up and this unit is very welcome in any Digital A/V setup!

I have hardly any experience with this type of radio, so I read some reviews and took the plunge...and I am very happy with the Kenwood. The radio can be put in FM or FRS or a combination FM/FRS mode, in which you can listen to FM, but be contacted by someone else. Neither FM nor FRS requires the use of the headphones, but I think the headphones probably improve the communications (and without them, the FM is mono). I thought the in-ear headphones might be a pain, but I prefer them to the conventional type. These are small, attractive radios and the controls make sense, although it is necessary to read the manual. Although I'm sure there are lots of other good radios, this one is an excellent choice.

This is probably my tenth radio I have owned (I usually lose them when the snow season is over) Its compact enough that it fits in my jackets poket while im snowboarding. It has very clear sound, I have owned the Motorola radios and this is by far better sounding and the receprion on the mountain isnt 2 miles but its good enough to keep in contact at Heavenly (big resort)

The Fm radio feature is great when I'm on the lifts or sliding down the slopes it totally relaxes me for a better ride. I will be sure not to lose these this year.
