In New Zealand, big headphones aren't big. We have them, but yeah. We just use the ones that come with our iPods/MP3s until they break, then buy new ones. We don't base our popularity on having things that look like rocks on the side of our face.

I never wear my full-sized M50s outside of the house anymore. I mainly use IEMs (in-ear monitors) when I'm outside to draw less attention. I hate anyone that goes outside with full-sized headphones.

And $10 isn't too bad, I'm just wondering if they are better, and then I can say that they are. And I was thinking I might as well do it before my Skull Candys break. (Even if I got two of the pairs only two-three weeks ago) |

Besides there really is no such thing as 'common sense' it seems someone likes them a lot. What were the results of the thread? I'd normally look at the bad reviews first to see if any are logical, than the good reviews. Not that it really matters since I should have them in a week or two... Myself, my hearing is only getting worse as I do have a slight hearing loss, so I can't say I care too much for real quality, or do I tell the difference. I like what I have now since I can press the pause and play button, as well as speak into the mic and have it shuffle or pick a song. Event volume control for one set... But if they are good, I may give them to my mother. Her hearing is far worse than mine is, and I think she would appreciate them more. (She can feel the bass, and it might be clearer, I don't know) |

Here's a link to the original thread. The community's reaction was fairly positive, it's widely recommended as one of the best bang-for-your-buck headphones. http://www.head-fi.org/t/580769/the-...-the-7-11-club |
