Are A $20 Pair Of Headphones Any Good? Sort of.

by  jccoun ,  Dec 19, 2005
11 out of 11 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Cheap, reliable, and distortion free.
Cons: Ear muffs don't cover the ear tightly allowing outside noise in.
The Bottom Line: These are fine headphones, but they do let a bit of outside noise in.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: To me, there's only one reason to own a pair of bulky headphones that completely cover the ears --- to filter out the sounds of the surrounding environment.

So that's why a buddy bought me a pair of ear muff headphones as a gift several...

Sounds too cheap to be good? Well, good for us!

by  cata00 ,  Dec 5, 2002
9 out of 11 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Excellent price, no distortion, convenient built-in volume controls, closed-ear
Cons: None.
The Bottom Line: There's got to be other, better headphones on the market, but you'd have to pay a lot more to get them.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I have deleted this review after Epinions deactivated my account AND cancelled all my earnings. Granted, my earnings were a non-whopping $7.49 and I probably would have never redeemed them anyway. But I am deeply disturbed by their practice. I...

Great Headphones for under $20

4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Cheap, 10 feet long cable, great sound, looks good.
Cons: independent volume controls.
The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate buying it again if necessary. They are good headphones at a cheap price.

3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Long cord, stereo/mono switch, fairly comfortable
Cons: Not a snug fit, sound is so-so
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I purchased these based on the other opinions here. Great sound at around 20 bucks sounds nice. I'm kind of disappointed in them though, so I'm taking them back.

If the bass is turned up slightly and the treble is turned up quite a bit,...

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Purchased these headphones a year ago to replace some horrible Koss headphones. I loved the closed design, and the padding was nicer than some other models I tried. Was very comfortable, but after several hours on a fight I did find them slightly...
