For the few dollars you shell out; it will be hard to beat the sound.

Pros: Unbelievable Sound Quality, regardless of the cost

Cons: if I had to make one up, I would say - it would have been nicer if they made the wrap adjustable

Review: I picked this set of headphones up as a tag along pair that I could use when I was studying or on the plane. WOW! The best $14 I have ever spent on a set of headphones. I have a high quality set of studio phones too, and while they are not as good - they are damn close!

The little volume adjust is great especially in today's MP3 world. When studying I just set the max. level on my player, and then can tone it all down or up right from the cord.

One comment regarding comfort, take off the little plastics pieces on the underside of the ear loop. They only add more material, which can become rather irritating quickly.

I normally don't believ in anything desrving of a 10, but seeing that for the money, the sound, and the fact that I can't choose a 9.5 - 10 will suffice for this product!
