great for the price, might pay more

(5 out of 5) by R. Connon on Jan 4, 2000 (Maine)
These headphones are a great value. They cover the full ear ear, which is a plus, and the volume control on the cord has come in very useful when you can't reach the volume control on the device you're using. The mute button is also a great feature (something you wouldn't expect on headphones at this price) but not being able to make it "stick down" can be a bit bothersome, still a great bargain!

Good phones for the price

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 12, 2002
I needed some headphones for my mp3 player. Since my mp3 does not feature manual volume controls (rather digital ones accessible through a menu), one of the criteria had to be that the headphones had a volume control on the cord.

Other criteria included:
- Inexpensive. I don't believe in dropping outrageous amounts of money for something that I will use only for my mp3 player at work.

- Sound quality. While I'm looking for something that won't break the bank, I want a quality set of phones that will give an overall decent sound.

With this in mind I came across the Jensen JF25's reviews. They were mostly favorable, and so I gave them a shot. For this price, you get a great set of headphones. They aren't going to blow you away, but they definitely do their job.

I believe I'm still in the break-in period with these headphones, but I can echo some of the other review made. The bass, while not lacking, can be slightly overbearing at times. Also, I'm not sure if this will go away with time, but some tones can come across harsh (but inconsistently so).

Overall, if you're looking for something cheap, you should check these out. These phones are not for audiophile elitists looking for a bargain. Rather, I believe these phones will fit the average listener on a budget extremely well.

Good sound, but hurts my ears.

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 23, 2001
After wearing these headphones for 30 minutes, my ears begin to hurt. I'm not sure if I'm wearing them wrongly, but these headphones press my ears against my head.

Because these are closed ear headphones, you should expect the discomfort normally associated with wearing headphones for an extended period of time. So, it's a good idea to remove the headphones every so often. However, discomfort shouldn't include causing my ears to hurt.

The sound is pretty good for the price. I wouldn't say it's great; my Harmon Kardon speakers are better. I use these headphones to listen to audio when my roommate is in the room.

These headphones come with a volume control as part of the cord. I don't use the mute button because you have to hold it down, but I just turn the volume all the way down if I need to.

Countless times I've dropped the headphones, banged it, yanked it when the cable was caught on something, but the headphones still work. The 2 meter cable is nice and long, longer than the usual 2-5 feet you usually get. My final recommendation: if you're looking for cheap cheap headphones with good audio, get these, but don't wear them for extened periods of time.

Muffled sound

(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Sep 17, 2002 (Rochester, MN United States)
I JUST bought these phones. I am going to return them. I have major issues with their sound. The phones DO have a nice rich bass (as other reviewers state), which I generally love, but these buggers make everything ELSE sound (like all the other instruments and voices) is singing/playing into a styrofoam cup -- very muffled and flat. It just didn't have that "ring" to it or crispness. I tried them on my computer and through my receiver/stereo. Only if I cranked the treble to the max and dropped the bass to pretty low did it sound "fair". Even my wife agreed, who always shakes her head at my audio pickiness! I'm going to look for another brand or upgrade a few dollars-worth!

I *will* miss the volume control on the cord, and the "mute" button, though it only drops the volume substantially, rather than completely removing the sound. I won't miss looking like a weirdo in them. They bow out just above your ears. They were comfy, I will say, though I only wore them for 20 minutes.
