 Great headphones just below audiophile quality Nov 21, 2007
By J. Henon
I was looking for a closed back headphone to block noise and purchased these and the Koss QZ99. The QZ99 is designed as a passive noise canceling headphone and is supposed to be the one to buy if you need to block out random noises. I tried active noise canceling headphones, but soon learned that they are really best for canceling droning noises, like being on an airplane, not for when a bus goes down the street (I live in the city).
Everything review I've read about the Panasonics is true, they are a very good headphone at any price, but a great value at $40. If the Koss's get a 10 for blocking noise, these would get a 7. But the sound quality is so much better, and they're so comfortable that I'll be returning the Koss's.
Sound quality is warm with clear highs and mids, but the bass is too boomy, which can be tiring. But using the "bass reducer" setting in iTunes makes them almost perfect. Comfort wise, they're the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned and let's not forget that they're also one of the best looking headphones out there.
Now If I can just put the guts of my bluetooth headphones into them and make them wireless they'd be the perfect headphone.

 By No Means DJ Headphones-Light and Cheap Dec 21, 2007
By M. Ho
I read that some DJ's were using these headphones for in Club use and were happy with their performance. So I thought that I would give them a shot for $40; just for back up and see if they worked out. The styling alone would be a welcomed change and was my incentive. However, the headphones are smaller than I thought (even though they are 40mm drivers), flimsy and leak a considerable amount of outside noise. I would never recommend these for a DJ. Low end is hollow and difficult to discern. Therefore, one would have to turn the volume up considerably to hear the distinctions between the kick and snare drums in a live cue; all the while the headphone signal will have to compete with the outside club noise leaking in...again...more volume. Hence: HEARING DAMAGE! Performance of these validate about a $25 price point. Styling may warrant close to the $40; if you're more into look than sound. I recommend these as an accessory for your personal media player.

Audiophiles won't love 'em, but I do. Jun 17, 2008
By Christian Nutt
These headphones are more or less exactly what I wanted when I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD-280s. See, I let myself get fooled into thinking I'm more of am audiophile than I am, and coming off a pair of Sennheisers I'd really liked, I was ready to buy another pair.
They turned out to be huge, heavy, uncomfortable, and -- I'll admit it -- didn't have as much bass as I wanted, which I suppose is what audiophiles do like. Fair enough, but they just didn't work at all for me.
These, on the other hand, are eye-catching, light, and comfortable for frequent use. I bought these expressly for using at work in an office at a desk, and they're never going to venture outside. But I get enough isolation from the outside noise of people in the lunchroom to know that they're pretty good at covering sound, but they let in enough for me to know when people need to talk to me -- that balance is important for me, anyway.
I'm really happy with these and would definitely recommend them for an office environment/desk listening at the very least.

My Favorite Headphones Jul 08, 2007
By Lindsay
I love these headphones. They're very comfortable {soft and padded all over, big enough to fit totally over My ears, very adjustable.} with excellent sound quality. The cord they come with is long enough for Me to comfortably listen to My ipod, but it comes with an extension and adapter for different jacks if you need it. Most of all, they are the most stylish large headphones that I've been able to find. I hate the really boring, molded plastic-y look of most headphones -- these are perfect, I plan to buy more in different colors.
Granted, they are big and not collapsible - so if you're looking for something compact to take when you're traveling, these are probably not it. Although they do hold up nicely when hung over the strap of your bag or around your neck when not in use.

good value Dec 24, 2007
By Jenny Tran
"amateur audiophile"
I have used these headphones for about a month now and I really like them. I'm echoing a lot of other reviews, but their points are worth mentioning... They are comfortable, pretty stylish and have produce very good sound for the casual listener or someone bored while commuting. Sometimes I take them off and hang them around my neck and just listen to them like that if I need to hear around me because the volume is very good for something that does not use batteries. The are big, so they fit over the average person's ears well. I look a little silly in them (as another person said) because I am tiny girl with a small head. Also, the pads always have the tendency to slip a little bit while you are listening, so if you adjust them upward because you have a small head, they will usually slip back toward the bottom within an hour or so. But overall, I think they are an excellent buy.
PROS:
- comfortable
- stylish
- impressive volume
- cancels noise: I take the bus to school and work and it blocks out a lot of the noise even at a low volume
CONS
- the top doesn't collapse so you can't easily tuck them away
- heavy bass
- pads slip down toward the bottom, not the best for small heads
