OK for the COST

Disappointing even for the price

(1.00 out of 5) by jasony79 on Jul 5, 2007

Pros: Better than regular headphones.
Cons: Painful to wear for long periods, way too much noise leaking in.
The Bottom Line: Get earplug headphones. These are not worth the bother.

I got these from Costco for $50 off. My earplug/headphones are 100 times better and a fraction of th ...
