    Good and bad

    • Written by from Brea

    I purchased these to replace a pair of Klipsch that had failed for the second time. I like the way they fit and acoustically, they're very good.

    The bad part is that after less than 4 months, the volume control's failed. I've requested a replacement, but it hasn't arrived yet.

    Square headphones are painful!!

    • Written by from PORT JEFFERSON STATION

    I was originally going to buy B&W C5, but i bought this headphones because they were 1/3 of the price and i thought at this price i am sure i could do no wrong.

    The sound quality is not bad. they are good. Nice bass not overpowering, clear sound. Sound quality overall i am very please with, but i also have to admit that since i did not pay full price i did not create unreasonable expectations or may be they are that good. oh also noise isolation is great.

    Design, for someone who does not really care about the physical appearance is fine, But the square design of the headphones is really an atrocious idea, the squared part of the headphones hurt if they do not fit well, which makes the experience all together a painful one. And even if they fit after a while your ears will hurt. i am sure if they had a different design they would be great, but the fact is that they can be quite painful.

    Adequate but unimpressed with the sound quality

    • Written by from Alta Loma

    I just picked up a set of these to replace my Vmodas because i needed a mic and remote. I'm no music or sound expert but i immediatly noticed the difference in sound quality. The Harman Kardon's were more tinny sounding and noticiably lacked the base of the Modas. The sound is not bad, but the Vmoda's are clearly better.
    The remote and mic work well, and i prefer the softer and less rigid cable on the HKs. Decent, but not worth the premium price.

    Similar to the Bose but price is a bit $$$ for what is offered

    • Written by from LOMBARD

    Has slightly more sounds detail than the Bose, which sound s bit muffled by comparison. Nice balance in tones overall but lacking in lower range.
