These are really good cans for less than 20 bones--let alone 10! They're closed-back, and have decent (but not mind-blowing) isolation. The driver shells and headband are *entirely* plastic, so they're probably not the most durable 'phones in the world, but they're hardly what I would call "flimsy" (which is much more than I can say for most flat-folding cans). And they're actually pretty good-looking when worn, which was a pleasant surprise. They're a little big, but not clunky. As for fit, I have a rather "tall" and narrow face, and I think they're really comfy. But head shapes differ, so you'll need to sort that one out yourself. For the money, though, you don't have much to lose.
On to the important stuff--the sound. They're pretty bassy--remarkably so for the price. Bass is not super-extended or super-articulate, sadly, but all in all, it's really not bad. Sure, I'd like more, but then I'm a bit of a basshead. The bass eats into the mids a bit, but the mids...Read more

I bought these for my daughter to use at school in the listening room. I'm not sure what headphones they use to listen in there, but she felt very icky using headphones that have been on the ears of dozens of other kids. They are far more comfortable than I expected and the sound quality was very decent. Unfortunately, the headphones do not fold as well as I would have liked. Overall, this is a great deal if you're looking for some budget headphones that sound good and are comfortable.

These are mainly for my PC and the sound they produce is great.
A few pro's and con's tho:
Pro - sounds great
Pro - inexpensive
Pro - well constructed (except)
Pro - blocks out stray sound very well.
Con - each earcup has a separate wire and the wires "split" very close to the earcup.
Con - stereo plug doesn't seat exactly right. I have to wiggle it to get stereo, then again it may be my headphone jack.
Con - plastic clamshell packaging was a pain to open. (OK it's petty but I hate clamshells)
