Review: Good value. - I'm definitely not an audiophile but I listen to quite a lot of music. I've found I cannot really tell the difference between the sound from these headphones and ones I've had that cost three to four times as much. In fact these are more comfortable in my experience than some of the more expensive headphones. I was sufficiently happy with these that I bought a second set to plug into my laptop rather than use the Bluetooth ones that I already have. One observation I would make is that they may not suit a person with a larger than usual head. There's quite a bit of adjustment in the head band but the ear cups are fairly snug. It suits me but I can imagine others finding it a bit too much if they've been used to more roomy ones. The photo shows a comparison. As an update I have to say that I did manage to break my first pair by lying on them when falling asleep listening to music in bed. This was after a year or more of such use and I have to accept that it was my fault. Owing to the low cost of the headphones I wasn't overly upset and would still buy another pair.
Review: Comfortable for a long flight - I bought these for my wife to wear on a 9-hour flight, so comfort was the main thing we were looking for. She wore them for the entire flight and said they were comfortable the whole way through. No complaints, no discomfort and, most importantly, no asking me halfway through the flight why I bought her something uncomfortable. 😂 They did exactly what we wanted and proved comfortable even after several hours of continuous wear. Very happy with the purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Value
*by T***V on 24 April 2023*

I wanted a light weight corded headphone to use with my vintage mini disc player. The bass is superb, perhaps a little over heavy for me, but I can decrease it on my mini disc. Sound is crystal clear and a tight fitting makes them very comfortable for long term wearing. For the price these are superb headphones in the price range. I would recommend them.
