(4 out of 5)Good Sound for your buck
I bought these headphones and was pleasantly surprised. They are very comfortable and the sound quality was better than you would think given the price. The cord is a little long for portables, but can easily be tied up. The extra earbuds that come with it, are a nice bonus, but their sound quality pales by comparison.
(1 out of 5)Worst Experience
After using it for 15 mins, there was no sound from the left side of the headphones.
Moral of the story: Delicate and unreliable
(4 out of 5)Nice headphones
Yeah, I just picked up a pair of these headphones and I must say they are quite good. The bass is very clean unlike most headphones in the same price range. The real sell point for me was the 8' cord. Great for people like me that love to watch movies and play games late at night but don't want to wake up the roomates.

save your bucks from this poor quality product. I bought it @ walmart and one side couldn't work just after one month of use. I would recommend on sony or panasonic.
(2 out of 5)Design defect in the cable plug
After having two sets of these headphones lose the sound in one channel I undertook to find out what was wrong. After a bit of dissecting I found that the problem is a defective design where the wires inside the cable attach to the stereo plug. Even though externally there appears to be a good strain relief at the plug this strain relief is apparently hot molded to the tiny internal wires. This molding process fixes the tiny wires to the internal wall of the strain relief and does not allow the wires to move when the headphone cable is pulled in normal usage. Since these internal wires cannot move inside the strain relief, the entire stress of the normal usage pulling is transferred directly to the solder joint where the tiny internal wires attach to the stereo plug. After a short while the internal wire breaks at the solder joint thus losing that channel.
This is a problem that cannot be easily fixed. If you have these headphones you should take special care to avoid pulling or stressing the cable near the stereo plug. Or maybe just do not go there in the first place...
