"Performs as expected; solidly built; very good sound."
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
Sound:
The sound is very bassy, but not in a bad way. thru my Onkyo stereo, the music comes thru clear and powerful. Voice reproductions could be better, imo. The biggest surprise was listening to the pc. even with a very basic soundcard & basic real player, the volume level and clarity of songs were great. the headphones can filter outside noises well.
Feature:
1/4 adaptor supplied with 1/8 jack. gold plated, and solid.
I wish it had a longer cord. it's coiled, and sometimes tug at the phones a bit, but might loosen up with time. i'm goingot get a headphone extention cable.
has a 1 yr warranty.
Quality:
Solidly built. looks very proffesional. haven't had it long, so can't say much about reliablity, but I got it based on past experience with Yamaha, so I hope it stays solid.
The cord and jacks are very solid. the 1/4 adaptor screws on to the 1/8 one. gold plating is well done.
Manufacturer Support:
not needed yet.
Value:
I've heard other headphones in the past in this price range. they were not as good as this one. In this price range, I think this is one of the best, but I haven't heard ALL the others in the range.
I think price/value is good.
The Wow Factor:
it looks good. I like anything in black, and it looks plain, all black, but has a professional appearence. not tacky, just like other Yamaha products.
Overall:
I'll keep this for now, until I have LOT of money so I can get a top of the line Grado or something. For now I'm totally happy with it. it performs as expected. I got it based on past experience with Yamaha. I'd replace it if it were stolen.
