Great Sound, But Alas, I Cannot Use These Anymore

Advantages: Great Sound, Comfortable, Stylish
Disadvantages: Durability

...look cool. The market that Skullcandy have created with stylish headphones is admirable, and putting them on can make anyone look a little bit more trendy. So a big thumbs up in this department. Now, in terms of value for money, these things have been a bit confusing for me. I picked them up on play.com for £18 last year (the price has gone up since then, presumably these were discounted). However one of my friends, who was buying almost at the same ...
...(I plumped for the black) for around £40. So I think it depends on the price you get them for really. For £18 they have been great. And the most important aspect, the sound. It's fantastic. That's no exaggeration, these really opened my eyes. Songs sounded so much clearer and bassier, without sounding overly thumpy. So yes, if your looking for a great sounding pair of headphones, these really hit the mark. What I will say though, is that, at least ...

Review of Skullcandy HESH

Philips SBCHC8440 Review

Advantages: light, smallish, built-in volume control, good sound quality
Disadvantages: crackle when moved, strange base

I bought this wireless headphone from argos for £33.99. I have only had one main issue with these headphones, and that is when i move my head slightly, the headphones lose connection, or crackle and that is only resolved by smacking the headphones or moving again. Other irritating things about this set is that the base has its own headphone jack built in, so you cant do certain things with it. the other odd thing about these is that the base uses ...
...i just found that a bit wierd. The headphones also dont give you much of a heads-up about a low battery level. when it first went dead, the headphones just died suddenly, right in the middle of an action scene in the film i was watching. I was happy with the built in volume control on the headphones as well. the headphones are comfortable to wear and the headphones are light. that is one major issue i find with some wireless headphones, is that ...

Review of Philips SBC-HC 8440

Astounding...Brings your music to life.

Advantages: Brilliant sound, clear, good frequency response, initial comfort, single sided cable, Acoustics
Disadvantages: Not the best build quality. Lacks low range punch.

...I am very familiar with Sennheiser as i own a pair of high end Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. With the HD 415 I needed something more portable and that wouldnt need a headphone amplifier like the HD 800. And so knowing their potential I gave these a try. but first, some specifications... Nominal impedance 32 Ohm Jack plug 3,5/6,3 mm stereo Transducer principle dynamic, open Ear coupling supraaural Cable length 3 m Weight w/o cable 160 g Frequency ...
...dB(SPL) THD, total harmonic distortion < 0,5 % My first impression when opening the packaging is that the headphones arent the sturdiest set i have ever come across. This means that they are rather fragile and need to be treated with care. The plastic is brittle on them and will break if mishandled which is a pity because affordable headphones tend to be the ones that receive the most abuse. What I liked immediately however was the fact that it had ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 415

Really nice headphone for music

Advantages: Please look at the summary
Disadvantages: Please look at the summary

The Sennheiser HD 205 is one of the best headphones you can get out there for a decent price. I am not an audiophile or a serious sound specialist or something. But I do listen to music almost all the time of my life. Almost all kinda music like Rap, hip-hop, Rock ( my favourite ), Techno and almost all kinda music as long as it is good at keep you entertained. I also listen lot of Indian music, which are quite a feast of instruments and vocals. ...
...to music I use the Sennheiser HD 205 because everytime I listen from the Sennheiser HD 205, I feel so good. First day I bought Sennheiser HD 205, I hated it so much coz I cant feel any bass. Also the sound quality was so bad. Feels like a cheap headphone. I thought I just lost a lot of money for these crappy headphone. Then after some weeks the headphones started to sound really good. Especially the quality of sound increased and bass became to sound ...

Review of Sennheiser HD 205

Sony MDR-XD 100 Excellent headfhones for good price

Advantages: ecellent sound
Disadvantages: somethimes too long wire

...take them off. I bought Sony headphones 2 years ago and this wire is long that i can listen music every part of room. Sometimes wire is too long especialy when you are near device. I think that when you will use this headphones with pocket mp3 player during the walk on the street wire can be very annoying. but in my opinion what is the most importent sound is excellent. I used to listen music form MP3's to AudioDVD's but never this headphones disappointed ...
