Great light weigh headphones

bydreammaker182 Jan 16, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros light weight, comfortability, dynamic range and trebble
Cons short thin cord, lacks the bass of other headphones of this catagory.
Recommended it? Yes

These headphones are really lightweight and have a really good dynamic range. You will not miss any trebble tone with these headphones. The bass is a bit weak but the UR-40's make up for this with comfort and low noise inside or out of the earcups. The only thing that I would change about these... Read full review »

Pros Lightweight, Comfortable
Cons Weak Bass
Recommended it? Yes

These Koss entry level headphones are great for everyday use. They are very light and provide decent sound.

Pros Comfort level, sound quality
Cons Price, durability
Recommended it? Yes

My father was actually the one to buy these headphones. The first time he brought them home I said wow they look really comfortable, and they were. I tried them on and as the almost vacuum seal went over my ears my father stated how much he paid for them. My jaw dropped as I wasn't sure if I had... Read full review »

Bose QuietComfort 2: or how my sanity was saved over the Pacific

bytelynor Feb 22, 2006
73 Helpfuls 74 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very comfortable over-the-ear comfort. Excellent sound. Hard carrying case.
Cons These are not small or sleek. Mine kept slipping off during the flight. Expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not exactly comfortable when I travel. Especially when it comes to flying on planes. The crowding, the vibrations and especially the noise are what send me into a near constant state of nervousness. When recently faced with traveling overseas to New Zealand, I decided the time had come to do... Read full review »
