Good for short-term casual listening,
Comfort – The on-ear headphones are comfortable for short-term use, but after about an hour or so, they begin to hurt my ears. The backside presses down on the cartilage and provides a pain that becomes worse over time. Repositioning the headphones helps, but after a while, you just have to take them off.
Sound – These headphones sound great for $25. I’ve been testing various in-ear, over-ear, and on-ear headphones for a few years now, and these live up to the sound of more expensive headphones in the $50 range. The bass is a little too powerful for my taste, though. Repositioning the headphones on your ears goes a long way in changing the sound of the headphones. When I wear them in a position that offers the best sound quality, they become very uncomfortable very fast.
Build Quality and Design – Honestly, the build quality of these headphones is great. Sure, I can tell that some cheap plastics were used in making the product, but the design works well and gives the headphones a much more sophisticated look than one might expect for $25. The plastics used are engineered to feel soft at the touch. The cable comes out of the right cup (which is odd; most have cables that come from the left cups). It is located in a great place, where I am able to move the cable to hang down my backside instead of across my chest. Also, the microphone is a great addition. The collapsible cups are great, and the headphones feel sturdy and not prone to breaking, like other headphones at the same price.
Overall – Great headphones for the price. I just wish they were more comfortable. But discomfort while using headphones goes a long way in limiting the amount of time that I am willing to use them. If they were more comfortable to wear, I would definitely have given the product 5 stars.

|Rad sound, rad price, rad service,
– Amazing sound. great bass and clear mids
– great price. once you are over having traditional big-name brands you will never look back.
– wonderful service. i emailed them and got a reply in 1 hour. try that with bose or sony
– that nice feeling of helping a local (for me) SoCal startup / American startup
– they fold nicely
– they are comfy on the head
I could have spent more on headphones, and have in the past, but these guys are solid.

|Comfort Zoning Out,
First thing I tried was a phone call because, well, I needed to make one when I was opening the package. Great clarity for phone calls. Sound blocking, so I had to get used to talking with them on (I’m special like that, took like 30 sec).
On to the music, these headphones are so loud! At my lowest volume level they are perfect for casual listening. For the more epic songs, I only have to go halfway. Seriously, at full volume they become a mini boom box (maybe don’t try this when they are on your head). I like the full sound that has mastered spatial sound layering, exposing me to effects and nuances I had not previously noticed in some of my favorite songs. It literally is like hearing songs again for the first time. That said, while the bass is somewhat pronounced, it is not necessarily deep enough nor always upfront enough for me. I go for soul shaking.
As for general comfort notes, these are great for even large heads because the adjustments are very forgiving and the ear pieces cover my big ears completely. They are most comfortable in that they lock the sound in without making your ears feel trapped, easier to listen to for long periods of time than other brands. They are just so soft, think ear marshmallows. And the band material doesn’t mess up my hair. Yes, that is important.
Stylistically, I like the subtle look of black for myself, but my roommate looks super cute in her white ones. So, you found me out, I was introduced to these through my roommate. I’m just not trendy enough to come across these gems on my own.
Enjoy zoning out in comfort!
