BOSE(R) Triport Headphone - Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I skipped all the reviews about how fragile these were and went out and bought some anyway. One of the reasons I bought these over anything else is that they are light. I hate big and bulky headphones. My primary usage for these headphones is an Ipod. From my understanding, certain more expensive large headphones have problems producing loud volumes in portable devices. These headphones have no such problems.
It was hard to go and purchase these. So many people think BOSE makes junk and just believe what they hear and just keep spreading it around. Go out and try the products for yourself first. I almost skipped them because I almost wanted to believe BOSE made stuff that wasn't any good.
Anyway, I tried these and they brought new life to my music. Everything sounded so much better than my Sony Fontopia headphones. Such an amazing difference. I also quite frequently prefer using these headphones with my ONKYO receiver to watch DTS movies. This is over $1000 home theater speakers.
Now onto the bad news. Yes, they ARE fragile. Very fragile. Within 4 months the plastic piece holding the ear piece broke and now if I want to listen to them I have to hold them up to my head like one of those old telephones. Ok, I don't do that, but I was so dissappointed all day. Not only that but I lost my receipt and couldn't return them or get a replacement. I was wrong. The nice people at BOSE let me send them back for a replacement. That's good service! No phone calls, no waiting on hold. All done by email in a matter of days.
Stupid me thought I couldn't get a replacement so I went out and got some Sennheiser HD 580's for a little bit more. I was expecting them to be blown away by them but they were honestly just a tad better to my ears and are built MUCH better.
My opinion is that if you primarily use portable devices and want the best sound, get these. If you mainly use them on devices such as a computer, receiver etc maybe something from Sennheiser would be better for long term.
My opinion is that the triports sound like $149 headphones. They are not built like $149 headphones though. The quality is more like a $50 pair of headphones. Does this make sense to you? It's probably to keep them light. I will say though that they are some of the most comfortable headphones i've ever used! I think if BOSE eventually reduced the price to $99 they'd be a steal and would FLY off the shelves. Don't tell me these really cost that much to make!
Sennheiser sells headphones that have replacable parts and offers more expensive "upgraded" models with higher quality parts. Maybe BOSE should do the same.
And BTW these are far better than any $100 Sony or Pioneer headphones IMO. I've tried several of them.
Anyway, keep the receipt. If it wasn't for the cheap plastic these would get a 5/5 definitely!

Sennheiser OMX60 Ergonomic Earbuds with Basswind System Sound Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these to replace the crappy earbuds that came with my $14 mp3 player, not to mention I wanted something that would stay put while out running/jogging. A few things I was looking for when I bought these:
1) Not placed in the ear canal.
2) I needed something that would be lightweight and stay in place with lots of moving around.
3) Good plug connection to the mp3 player.
4) Able to turn sound down or off quickly.
5) Very low priority - good sound.
Long story short: these earbuds rock.
Short story long:
1) These don't sit in my ears like plain earbuds. They are in the ear opening, but not shoved right in. This was important to me because I've heard of hearing loss issues with those style earbuds being played with music loudly.
2) The construction of these headphones is very nice. The earwraps bend and stay in place. I "sculpted" mine so the earbud would fit snugly pointed into my ear canal, and they don't budge and are extremely comfortable. I can barely feel them on. I did a head shake test just to see how much head trauma I would have to take for them to come off. They didn't. So if I ever get plowed into while out running, they'll find me with these earbuds still attached to my head.
3) The plug fit into the mp3 player even better than the earbuds that came with it. The connection was excellent, and I didn't have to twist and turn the plug to get sound to come through both earbuds.
4) Volume control is such a bonus. I hate fiddling with the dials on an mp3 player to get the music down fast, or to remove the headphones. One quick flip and the music is gone. This is necessary for when my full attention is needed not now, but 2 seconds ago.
5) Sound is great. I'm really not finicky about how good something sounds - as long as I have something resembling music playing while I'm trying to work out, I'm happy. That being said, the music has excellent clarity (as long as the .mp3 file is of good quality). I really wasn't expecting much subwoof/bass with earbuds, but these actually have it. And, if you're looking to get the same experience of an actual subwoofer, you're not going to find it in any headphones, period.Anyone looking for the same traits I was will be phenomenally happy with these headphones.

SENNHEISER Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The HD201 is the entry level headphones from Sennheiser. Considering the price you pay, it is value for money. However, if you are able to pay more, get a higher end Sennheiser headphones. I have a HD205 and it goes without saying that the HD205 is better than the HD201.
What I do like about the HD201 is that it is lightweight and it is comfortable and fits round the ears very well. The closed ear headphones also reduces some ambient noise. However, it is not a very "loud" headphone and when I turned to maximum volume on my player, I could hear a slight distortion.
Below are the technical specifications:
Acounstic principle: Dynamic, closed
Ear coupling: Circumaural
Frequency response: 21-18,000 Hz
Max SPL at 1kHz, 1 Vrms: 108 dB
THD at 1kHz, 100 dB SPL: < 0.7%
Impedance: 24 Ohms
Weight (without cable): 165 g
Signal cable: 3 m copper cable (OFC)
Connector/adapter: 3.5 mm stereo jack with 6.3 mm adapter

Skullcandy (Product Out Of Date, Newer Version Available) SCS-SCBC Skullcrushers Stereo Headphones (Black / Checker) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Summary: The Skullcrusher line of headphones is one of Skullcandy's more popular lines and there is a reason for that. There is nothing else out there that will be able to put out as much bass as these without an external amplifier. Now too much can be a bad thing but luckily the built-in amplifier is fully adjustable. They are very comfotable, I can wear them for 8 hours+ and I barely notice they are there.
Pros: Bass strength is second to none. Bass and treble quality is good for stereophones. Strong 1.5m (5ft) cord. Great build quality and comfort. Package includes a 1/4" adapter, airline adapter, and a drawstring travel bag to hold it all. Great price. Lifetime warranty! (Requires registration but who cares, I'll say it again, lifetime warranty!) I love them for gaming. They are fully collapsible and well padded. I can wear for 8 hours+ no problem. They won't fall off of my big head and shouldn't on smaller heads either.
Cons: Mids can be a bit muddled especially with higher bass songs/games. The built in amp requires a single AA battery. The bass adjustment is a little sensitive at times. Some songs will sound bright (mostly classical music). The bag is a little small, I kinda have to work the phones into them. Plastic is fragile but earpieces are strong. Battery life with recharables stinks and disposable alkaline batteries almost have too much punch. They aren't vented so expect some ear sweat if it's hot out.
Comments: The way they get all there bass there are actually 2 30mm drivers. One for treble and upper mids, one 100Hz driver for bass and lower mids. The design does come at a price. These are only stereophones, so they don't have any surround support and can only put out so many sounds at once. So if your are listening to a huge symphony of sound there may be some loss but that will be the case with any phones, in this price range.
UPDATE!!! 11/5 I recently had to return my phones after just a couple months of use as the cable at the connector got loose and sound cut in and out. I mailed them the headphones Monday, they arrived at their warehouse on Wed, and they just shipped me new ones FRIDAY!!! That is FAST. 2 day replacement is insanely good. I am literally freaking out. I think they have a lifetime customer.

Koss UR40 Collapsible Over-Ear Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Somehow, just about any set of headphones can get close to a 5 star rating on here, even if they have 15mm earbud drivers that can't play the any bass below about 150 hz. Most mainstream consumer headphones make outrageous claims in the specs, but sound awful and bottom out trying to reproduce anything close to source material.
These Koss phones aren't audiophile quality, and the treble is a little bit muddy, but they're by no means harsh like most cheap headphones, and you hear just about everything in your music. Plus, they're pretty efficient...plenty of volume, even on portables that usually strain to produce audible music in loud settings like an airplane. Bass response is great, and I haven't been able to make the drivers clip, even during pretty loud listening. If you care what your music sounds like, it's almost impossible to find headphones worth hearing that aren't oversized and a little ridiculous looking, as these Koss are. But hey, if you're into image, buy some street style nightmares and listen to popular music that isn't worth hearing anyways.
These Kosses are definitely recommended, espcially since they're relatively portable for the size (being foldable), and they more than hold their own against anything in their price range in the present market. For about $20 more you can get some nice Grado SR60s that are remarkably true to your music, but they don't really travel well, and you can't wear them in anything but totally stationary settings thanks to their oldest-school design. And they don't quite bump like these budget Koss UR40 do. Plus, Koss makes it really easy to take advantage of their lifetime warranty, which I have done twice with other models. And if you buy them, post a review, since the other two reviews on here so far are suspiciously duplicate plant-sounding salespitch-type reviews. Enjoy.

Skullcandy SCS-SCBP3.5 Skullcrushers Subwoofer Stereo Headphones (Black Pinstripe) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These headphones a great if you crave bass. These headphones are awesome for watching movies when you don't want to bother anyone else. When you put them on you'll notice they do a considerably good job with noise cancelling and when you watch a movie or play a game they make you feel like you have a home theater system on your head. As for music they are best for hip hop/rap, electro, and any music with heavy bass below 50Hz.Although they are not so good for rock, heavy metal or any other type of rock because there is a gap in the frequency response of the main driver and the sub woofer where most of the bass in rock music is. I was disappointed by that. When I first saw these I was instantly in love with them and I didn't bother to read about them or let the reviews change my point of view, and if your like me this is probably the case. If you are gonna get them you'll have the mess with the equalizer of your audio source to make them sound how you want them to. They seem like a really cool thing, o look these have sub woofers in them how awesome is that. But keep in mind they are "vibrating" sub woofers and do NOT perform like a normal sub woofer and like I said lack bass in the 50Hz to 200Hz region. That's about where a lot of a bass guitars sound and where most of your vibration occurs. So if you do get these don't expect then to be act like miniature sub woofers cause they are meant to shake more than they are to reproduce sound. And also they headband is not exactly as what is pictured, it has a soft foam piece where the top of your head meets the headband, the new headband is more comfortable than what is pictured and is very strong and astonishingly light for it's size. These are a great set of headphones. They are very good at keeping outside noise out and youe noise in. Therefore you can be blasting these suckers and the person beside you will hardly even notice. The SQ is great and easily compares to some of the more recognized headphones companies such as Sennheiser which retail for around $100 - $150. Overall they are one of the best headphones you can ge for the price even if you aren't looking for the sub woofer, they offer superior noise canceling abilities, great SQ , are very light, and have a sub woofer in them. There isn't much more more you can ask for for $40-$50. If you don't mind the small region of bass between 50-200Hz that isn't as strong as with a conventional set of headphones then I would highly recommend these. And if you are worried about what I said then you should go and heck out Evergreen Technologies RumbleFX Force Feedback headphones, they are the best you can get with subwoofers in them, very loud, 40mm drivers, and light, although they don't offer as much noise canceling as the SkullCrushers do, if you do want to get a pair a the EverGreen Technologies you'll have to look around hard because rumor has it they are stopping production on the universal pair but if you don't need the universal pair just grab the AudioFX version with an USB connection instead. They are definitely worth it. Or if you prefer something smaller try the in ear Pelican Earsubs, only $20-$30 and have basically all the characteristics of the skullCrushers in a earbud form. There are also a new set of earbuds coming out soon caled the bass freguency V-Moda earbuds.

Koss PortaPro Headphones with Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't decide between the Sennhauser PX100 and the Koss Portapro headphones. I bought both, so I could take them home and compare at my leisure. Result: They are both excellent choices! You will be pleased with either. But to distinguish between them:
The PX100 are more comfortable because of the foam cushions which rest on the top of your head. The Portapro are also comfortable, but I do notice the metal band on the top of my head, which sometimes pulls some strands of hair out.
The PX100 look better when on. The Portapro look kinda dorky -- especially at first -- but they are easy to get used to.
The PX100 are also more durable. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy to collapse the headphones and put them in their plastic carrying case. They are not going to get squished while they're in that! The Portapro can be collapsed into a ball, but if I'm not really careful, they spring open all when I touch them. It's also very difficult to get the Portapro headphones and cord into the accompanying bag.
The Portapro headphones have more bass, and to my ears, the music sounds more alive than with the PX100. The PX100 sound really good, but the Portapro sound just a tad bit better.
The Portapro feel more comfortable when under a wool hat (important for my winter walks with the dog).
Both leak sound -- there's no difference there. If that's a huge concern for you, then you might want a closed system for your headphones.
In the end, I couldn't which I liked better and kept both, rationalizing that my husband needs a pair of headphones too. Both are used regularly, although I take only the PX100 when I travel because I think it'd be much easy to accidentally break the Portapro.

Westone UM1 Bundle with Triple Flange, Monitor Saver, more Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Westone UM1 Review"
I was in the market for a set of earphones to replace my Vmoda Bass Freq earphones which I gave to my daughter. Prior to the Vmoda, I owned a set of Sony MDR EX71 SLB earphones, which stopped working in the left ear due to a short in the wire. I really liked the portability of earphones over headphones, but hated the way the wires kept getting tangled up in the Sony and Vmoda earphones.
I would not consider myself an audiophile, but I do like to listen to music and audiobooks. My criteria for my next set of earphones was as follows: noise isolation, price, comfort, sound quality, and customer service/product support (in that order).
In my search for finding a good set of sound isolating ear phones, I considered looking into headphones. My friend got a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort II noise cancelling headphones over Christmas and he couldn't stop talking about them. But I ruled them out for the sake of portability.
One of the best sites I found for providing information and user reviews was the Earphone Solutions website. I read every user review for every earphone that fit my criteria and I concluded on paper that the Westone UM1 earphones were the best ones for me.
But before I shelled out the cash, I wanted to hear the difference myself. The opportunity came when I was at the airport awaiting my connection flight. I went into a high-end headphone store and asked the salesperson if I could listen to some of the earphones he had on hand. I listed to the Shure SE115 and SE210 models along with the Dr. Dre Monster Beats eaphones and Westone UM1s.
SE115: The first earphone I tried was the Shure SE115. It was small and did not protrude excessively from the ear. I was impressed by Shure's heavy and high quality cords. The carrying case and accessories provided were really nice too. However, when I listened to the music from my iPod, I had to bring the volume level to approximately half to listen to the music and drown out the background noise. The bass and trebles were lacking and the mids were relatively flat. Pros: small, nice cord, nice accessory packet, many colors to choose from, price ($79), you could wear them hanging straight down or around the ear. Cons: sound isolation not as good as normal ear plugs (I used the foam inserts provided), sound was flat and lacked bass and treble.
SE210: Next, I moved to the Shure SE210s. These were more expensive ($180) and although they touted a fuller sound than the SE115s, they were not significantly better. The pros and cons were nearly identical to the SE115s except that the price was significantly more expensive and they stuck out a little further than the SE115s.
Monster Beats: This version was called the Dr. Dre Tour in-ear headphones. The most unique aspect of these headphones was the cord: they were flat and easily avoided entanglement through the great design. They also touted a strong bass sound. Unfortunately for my ears, that was about it. The worst part of these earphones was the rubber ear cups that were supplied. They did not do a good job at isolating sound as well as the foam inserts (which were available but for an additional $20). Pros: flat cord, strong bass, bling factor. Cons: expensive, sound quality was worse than the Shures except for the decent bass response. Treble was lacking and the mids were muffled.
Westone UM1: The fit of the UM1s took a little getting used to because I have never had a set of earphones that required wrapping around the ear and behind the head. I looked on Shure's website (they have a nice video that shows how to wear sound-isolating earphones properly) and learned how to properly don my earphones. These blew me away! The sound isolation was remarkable. My volume level dropped down to approximately 10% on my iPod compared to nearly 50% with the Dr. Dre and Shure earphones. The sound was fantastic and although they were not overly bass heavy, they had better bass response than the Shures. I thought that the cord was really flimsy at first, but then I got used to them and realized that there was a true benefit to having the twisted pair of wires, which actually made them tangle resistant (though not as good as the Dr. Dres). The best thing I liked about the UM1s was the fact that I could wear them while lying on my pillow--I fell asleep with them a few times and hardly noticed that they were there at all. Pros: great sound isolation, great product support (2 year warranty), comfortable to wear for long periods, outstanding sound. Cons: a little pricey at $109 (for my budget), not very distinctive looking, style of wear takes some getting used to, did not have the triple flanges supplied (which would have added even more isolation).
Summary: Overall, I was really impressed with the Westone UM1s. Prior to getting info from the internet, I had never even heard of Westone before. Now I am a big fan. I took my UM1s with me on a 3-hour flight and enjoyed peace and serenity throughout the flight. The slight pressure in wearing ear canal headphones takes some getting used to, but once you get accustomed to that, they are a great pair of headphones!
I've attached a summary of my review and rankings of the various headphones I was considering from 1-5 (5 highest).
Here is ranking for the Westone UM1: 4.45 out of 5.
They are simply the best value for my limited budget!
Pros:
-Great sound isolation
-Great product support (2 year warranty)
-Comfortable to wear for long periods
-Outstanding sound quality
Cons:
-A little pricey at $109 (for my budget)
-Not very distinctive looking (clear)
-Style of wear takes some getting used to
-Did not have the triple flanges supplied (which would have added even more isolation)

Panasonic RP-HT360 Monitor Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For only 20 dollars including the shipping you cant really beat it. Great sound, powerful, cord on one side, wide frequency response, they stay on your head unlike earbuds which pop out too much for me, they keep your ears warm in the winter... they are kinda bulky but they're great at home and comfortable enough. They also DO work with people who wear glasses (there is no ear pinching)
**update- I have had these for a year now and with more and more use they become more "broken in" and it seems that the bass and treble have improved even more. They have held up fine, and comparing these to other headphones they are still the clearest sounding and most balanced ones I have found in this price range. I would buy these again as long as they did not jump up more in price. I did get sick of the two "thin bars" on top as others have said- they aren't horribly uncomfortable but turned out to become annoying. So i modified the headband and mounted the cushioning from another pair of junk headphones I had laying around, and now they are extremely comfortable for hours of listening.

Sennheiser PXC 350 Active Noise Cancellation Headphone with Vol Control (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these headphones without actually holding them or testing them first, so I had no idea what to expect. I took them on a trip to Africa and was completely satisfied with them. So, here are my oppinions:
Sound: 5 stars. Could use a little more bass, but that can be changed with your equalizer. Noise Canceling: 5 stars. Took out all the engine noises and most of the talking around me. Comfort: 5 stars. They took a bit of getting used to, but after wearingthem for 10 hours stait, they are very comfortable. They also work without the noise canceling which is very nice. There is alittle white noise with the NC on, but all NC's have that. VERY sturdy feel, and nice case. Love them.

Skullcandy Skullcrusher Headphones S6SKCZ-058 (Rasta) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These headphones a great if you crave bass. These headphones are awesome for watching movies when you don't want to bother anyone else. When you put them on you'll notice they do a considerably good job with noise cancelling and when you watch a movie or play a game they make you feel like you have a home theater system on your head. As for music they are best for hip hop/rap, electro, and any music with heavy bass below 50Hz.Although they are not so good for rock, heavy metal or any other type of rock because there is a gap in the frequency response of the main driver and the sub woofer where most of the bass in rock music is. I was disappointed by that. When I first saw these I was instantly in love with them and I didn't bother to read about them or let the reviews change my point of view, and if your like me this is probably the case. If you are gonna get them you'll have the mess with the equalizer of your audio source to make them sound how you want them to. They seem like a really cool thing, o look these have sub woofers in them how awesome is that. But keep in mind they are "vibrating" sub woofers and do NOT perform like a normal sub woofer and like I said lack bass in the 50Hz to 200Hz region. That's about where a lot of a bass guitars sound and where most of your vibration occurs. So if you do get these don't expect then to be act like miniature sub woofers cause they are meant to shake more than they are to reproduce sound. And also they headband is not exactly as what is pictured, it has a soft foam piece where the top of your head meets the headband, the new headband is more comfortable than what is pictured and is very strong and astonishingly light for it's size. These are a great set of headphones. They are very good at keeping outside noise out and youe noise in. Therefore you can be blasting these suckers and the person beside you will hardly even notice. The SQ is great and easily compares to some of the more recognized headphones companies such as Sennheiser which retail for around $100 - $150. Overall they are one of the best headphones you can ge for the price even if you aren't looking for the sub woofer, they offer superior noise canceling abilities, great SQ , are very light, and have a sub woofer in them. There isn't much more more you can ask for for $40-$50. If you don't mind the small region of bass between 50-200Hz that isn't as strong as with a conventional set of headphones then I would highly recommend these. And if you are worried about what I said then you should go and heck out Evergreen Technologies RumbleFX Force Feedback headphones, they are the best you can get with subwoofers in them, very loud, 40mm drivers, and light, although they don't offer as much noise canceling as the SkullCrushers do, if you do want to get a pair a the EverGreen Technologies you'll have to look around hard because rumor has it they are stopping production on the universal pair but if you don't need the universal pair just grab the AudioFX version with an USB connection instead. They are definitely worth it. Or if you prefer something smaller try the in ear Pelican Earsubs, only $20-$30 and have basically all the characteristics of the skullCrushers in a earbud form. There are also a new set of earbuds coming out soon caled the bass freguency V-Moda earbuds.

A pair of mini-subwoofers against your skull makes the bass feel like a swarm attack by the renegades of funk, soldiers of Jah, hip-hop nation, and a 1970s version of the Kiss Army, all at once. So, no.

Skullcandy Agent Headphones CMYK Print, One Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love these headphones--the shape, the style, the sound quality are all amazing. The style is one of the biggest draws for me, however. The graphics on the headphones are cool, unusual, and always draw attention.
The only problem with Skullcandy products is that they break SO. QUICKLY. The wire is especially sensitive, and although the company has made moves to help with this problem (the wires on more expensive Skullcandy headphones are woven fabric, which I find protect more), my headphones usually only last a few months. There is a limited lifetime warranty on all Skullcandy products, but you must pay half the cost for a new set of headphones, and shipping to send your old pair out to the company. All in all, it ends up costing you a lot of money.
With these headphones, either be prepared to keep paying lots of money or treat your headphones like priceless china.

Sony DRBT50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These headphones do provide vastly superior sound quality to any of the other bluetooth headphones I've tried. This is understandable as there is almost a $100 difference between these and any other headset I've tried..
But that difference in price was more than worth it as I no longer feel as though I'm compromising sound quality and comfort.
Pros:
- I use them 7+ hours a day with little to no ear fatigue.
- Very clean sound with responsive bass. I listen mostly to electronic music with lots of bass and these do not leave me wanting. The difference between these and other headsets I've tried (some even wired) is huge.
- The battery easily lasts an entire work day without need for recharge. (the manual says the batteries will last ~17 hours of continual use and I don't doubt it)
- Replaceable battery! I haven't seen this in many bluetooth headsets. Although it is not designed such that the battery can be easily replaced, there are instructions in the manual should replacement become necessary.
- Pair with up to 8 bluetooth devices. Most headsets stop at 2 or 3.
- Easy to use controls. The control buttons are easily told apart by touch. (there's even a music folder navigation button for devices that support it)
- Effective PASSIVE noise cancellation. as in they're muffs. they just block out outside sound and block it well.
- Built-in mic of decent quality for voice calls.
- Works perfectly with my Samsung SPH-M620 (UpStage) cell phone.
though any cell phone with the A2DP and AVRCP bluetooth profiles should work fine.
Note to Mac users: OSX 10.4 does not natively support the A2DP bluetooth profile (though there is a hack to get it working) but 10.5 (Leopard) will, so you should be able to pair these to a mac running 10.5
I think Windows Vista does have built-in A2DP support. As long as your PC supports bluetooth, these should pair up just fine.
Cons:
- susceptible to interference from other electronic devices that operate in the 2.4Ghz wireless spectrum. (wireless internet, some wireless phones, and other bluetooth devices). Of course, no bluetooth headset is immune to this. There is no loss in sound quality, they may just cut out if interference is extreme.
- the fast forward/rewind switch is perhaps just a tad to easy to accidentally hit while going for the volume control.
- I'm getting a permanent groove in my hairdo.
If you're willing to drop a little extra, I believe these headphones will more than make up the difference.
