Advantages: volume controll comfy quite sturdy
Disadvantages: cord is a disaster recessed bass
These headphones are acceptable for the price i payed for them. At $20 i couldn't go wrong could i?
first off lets address the fit/finish: there a decent fitting pair of cans can be worn for multiple hours without fatigue though after a while the headband got lose on me and doesn't support the cans at all. Good thing the ear pads are large enough for the ear to fit inside. The ascetics are quite plain in a minimalist sorta way.
ok now onto the cord: its massive and will end up a rats nest. The cord after the volume control is split in two and goes into each side of the cans which is a slight nuisance but its bearable. as said before the cord is long and gets tangled up easily definitely not a pair of cans for portability.
Sound quality: is not bad for the price point but not spectacular. everything seems blanketed and the bass is a little weak. The highs are slightly recessed nothing to flat tho. Mids are its strong point but it all can get kinda muddy if listening to complex layers and walls of sound.
all in all its above average for price point but you wont be able to do say mixing with them they just don't have the definition for it. 3stars
Summary: if you can pick them up for what i got them for its a great buy.
