i don't eat at restaurants that discriminate against the earless.

All these headphones seems to be quite expensive right now. Are they going to drop to $1 or $2 in the near future, since that's what earbuds did, from $100 to $1 nowdays. I don't have a set and it would be nice to have one, but since I have been using earbuds, I thought I can use those and pretty soon I can buy 50 of these for this price.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not but you can buy cheap $5 headphones just like you can buy expensive $300 ear buds. This set is never going to be that cheap. I have a pair, they are extremely comfortable, sound good, good bass but they leak sound so fyi if you want to play these loud in bed at night next to your partner.

I picked up a pair of these last woot. At first I kinda hated them but after replugging in the detachable cord I think it was just a bad connection. Sounds is quite good very strong high end response a little weak on the bass for bass junkies.

Super super comfortable.

I just purchased a set of these. Compared to my Bose AE2 headphones, they're decent. For the price being offered on Woot, they're better.

I think the Bose are slightly more comfortable and have better treble clarity. The Incase have better bass. I also worry about the soft velvet-like material of the Incase earcups getting funky with dust and dirt. Having the option to use the Incase's inline mic for FaceTime is a great plus.

I wouldn't pay the full retail price of $150 for these, but for $50, they are a decent set.

I bought a pair of these the last time they were available from Woot. Loved them... while they worked. The right earcup died after about 2 months of use. Tried the other cable it came with in multiple sound sources, and it was a no-go. Emailed them multiple times, and got absolutely NO response. The odd thing is that I have heard people having the exact OPPOSITE experience with their repair department, so it may have just been a fluke. But still...

are these better than Grado headphones? Those are worth every penny of their cost, even at full retail. Are these, even with a much higher MSRP, better than those?

No.

I've always had a problem finding headphones that fit comfortably, didn't leave my ears all hot, red, and sweaty, and that sounded decent.

I bought a pair of these the last time they were on Woot and they are perfect for me. I'm a bigger guy (6'4", size 7 3/4 hat) with proportionate ears that don't stick out. The memory foam on these (on the ear cups and the band) makes them super comfortable to wear, both on the ears and on the head. I haven't battle-tested them on a plane yet -- the ultimate proving ground -- but I imagine they would do fine, and would feel more comfortable for a long trip than other brands, or those damned ear buds.

No complaints from my coworker who shares my office, but then I also don't blast my music too awful loud.

I listen to primarily DnB, with the occasional tasteful dubstep, and a wide range of other stuff mixed in, and while they aren't the bassiest (it's a perfectly cromulent word), they are decent, and for $50, you can't go wrong.

I bought the black ones with the green cord, and I love 'em.

Pro tip: You can adjust the size by sliding the ear-cups up and down on the headband. I did not know this at first, and have since adjusted them to the perfect level.

Hands down, these are the most comfortable headsets on the market. I wear mine at work 12 hours a day so comfort is very important to me. Plus, the sound is great. If I were to need another pair and had to pay $200.00 for them, I would .... They are just that comfortable.

I bought a pair of these the last time they were on Woot! and I absolutely love them. They admittedly aren't going to give you the best sound, but they're by far the most comfortable over-ear headphones I've ever owned. I wear these with glasses for 8+ hours a day and my ears are never in pain. If you wear glasses w/ on OR over-ear headphones, you know exactly what I mean. I much prefer them to earbuds because they help me stay focused while I'm at work.

If these are leaking sound when you wear them then you should start saving now for that hearing aid you will need by the time you're 50!! I got a pair of these in my last Bundles of Crayons and they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. The sound is great but I do agree that the bass could be bass-ier. I love the inline microphone feature, no more having to take off the headphones to answer the phone! If I hadn't gotten them for a buck, I would buy a pair...

I bought these the last go around and I like them. Good sound. The only down fall is that they are not something that you want to wear while doing an activity where you sweat as the cloth material is a sponge for sweat and would likely be FUNKY in short order. Therefore not so not good for using while mowing the lawn, going to the gym, etc.

I have had the exact opposite experience. They sound good, but the headband puts all the weight on the center and the outer part doesn't touch your head. As a result, I wind up having headaches after wearing them for around an hour. Adjusting the ear pieces made no difference. I'm pretty sure I can fix it by adding some foam to the sides of the headband, so the weight will be more evenly distributed, but wish I didn't have to. Maybe it's just my head, I don't know...

For the record, I bought a pair of GE earbuds at my supermarket for $7.00 and they sound almost as good as these headphones. I've been using them for a year now and the wires still haven't broken.

Yes these will drop to two dollars each three months after your hourly salary drops to $1.10. Hang in there.

I bought one last woot, orange color, I love them, they're very comfortable, they look very cool.

Agreed with everything you've said.
I keep falling asleep with these they're so comfortable. I can only ever wear headphones for a little while at a time.

Also, I had the same issue with connection. Changing wires fixed it.

Thirdly, they do lack bass for such monstrously sized headphones. I was expecting a lot more, but overall they are very well balanced, and the comfort factor made these quite worth it to me.

Guess I'm in the minority here,I bought these the last time and I'm not really impressed. They are reasonably comfortable but the sound does not seem much better than an older pair of ifrogz $12,over the ear headphones I got at BigLots.Btw, I am using them on a Sansa Fuze or Clip not an ipod,do you think that may be my problem?

Bought a pair last time they were offered on Woot!. For the price, I'm very happy. Very comfortable for my 7-3/8 noggin, which most over-the-ear phones are not. I also have a pair of Bose over-the-ear phones; these compare well. The Bose are lighter, but also let in a bit more ambient noise than these Incase phones. Bose are stronger on the bass end, but the truth is I have un-bass-y listening habits. For listening to (and producing) spoken-word headphones, these are terrific. For the kinds of alt-country, world, Hawaiian, Celtic, folk, bluegrass, ska, and classic pop I listen to, the Bose and Incase perform about equally. These phones handle ukulele and steeldrums with aplomb. It's really only with some classical and 80s-today pop that reveal the Incase's weakness in the bass range for me, and even then it's not a huge negative.

If I hadn't already got this gray/blue color combo - which looks terrific, less toy-like and more serious than I expected from the photos - I'd definitely be in for another pair today.

Bought these for use with my iPhone during long conversations where my Bluetooth became uncomfortable. While extremely comfortable with good sound, I can't hear myself speak and that bugs the crap out of me. So skip these if you wanted them for that use.

GAH everytime these come up i struggle with whether or not i want them... reviews sound good except on the one thing i really like BASS



to click or not to click

I bought a pair of these the last time around. They sound absolutely great on Apple products (iPhone, iPod) but for some reason I cannot get these things to sound nearly as good on my home PC or other devices. I'm not sure if it's the proprietary Apple connector or what.

I'd also add that if you want to use another cord to attach the headphones (the cord from the headphones to the audio device is detachable), you're going to have to do some work. The mini/3.5 mm/1/8th inch cable that comes included has a very low profile shoulder in order to make it into the very small hole for it in the headphones. The manual states you should be able to pick up a comparable cord, but after lots of searching I wasn't able to find one. I ended up Dremeling the hole in the headphones in order widen the opening to get a longer cord to fit.

So, these sound great (for me) on Apple products, but I wasn't able to get them to sound nearly as good (nearly unlistenable), even with a replacement, non-Apple type cord. And the replacement cord was a pain to get to fit, requiring Dremeling of the headphones.

Awesome headphones. I say this for two reasons. First, they sound terrific! I think their sound is superior to Beats by Dre. Second, they are fantastically comfortable. I wear them for 8 hours at a time sometimes.

You need to get a splitter like this and then it sounds fine on a non-Apple device:

In case you're serious, no. The Sansa Clip has great audio quality compared to most (all) iPods. Many headphones do tend to have a "burn in" period though.

? all that does is seperate mic and audio

I actually just bought a pair yesterday for $80, 50 seems like a steal if you like that color scheme.

The one thing I haven't heard anyone talk about is that they are basically earmuffs and don't breathe well, so these won't replace your walking around heaphones if you spend a lot of time in the heat. Inside a ACed house or office they are very nice

plasticpopcorn4 wrote:? all that does is seperate mic and audio

Yes because the cable included with the headphones is for a smartphone (has mic and audio combined). When I plug the cable into my non-Apple PC, the audio is very soft unless I press the talk button on the cable. Using the splitter, it works like any other headphones.

I got a pair of these last time around too - pretty amazing for the proce, imho. I use Sennheiser HD25's for work (I'm a sound mixer for film and TV) so I got these as an alternative for listening to music. The sound is definitely different, not as chrystal clear as the HD25's, but definitely warmer and more musical. Pretty much a bargain, I reckon. My only question mark is whether the 'soft finish' on them is going to get grubby - time will tell...

I bought these last WOOT. They have great sound quality, unfortunately my wife agrees... while I'm wearing them. At half volume she can tell me the song and artist I'm listening to from 5 feet away. So, no sneaking cheat sheet with these things.

Bought these last time they were on woot. Good headphones, but the included cables are really short. Unless you're plugging them into an iPod in your shirt pocket, you'll need an extension cable.

I got this pair last time they were available on Woot. For an audiophile on a budget, these are great. Though they don't handle the treble as much as I'd like. Some the higher pitched songs seem to lose some of the depth the higher they go. Bass is pretty good, but don't expect it to be like specific base heavy headphones.

One thing of note: the blue cord that it shows in the picture is a larger connector. If you are using the smaller standard connector (for iPhones, iPods, mp3 players, pcs, etc), the cord used is gray to match the rest of the headphones. Each cord has volume controls and a microphone that work well.

Also of note is that these will comfortably fit many sizes of heads. Both me and my husband can wear these comfortably (husband is a foot taller than me and has a larger head)

Negative: These headphones are NOT portable. They take up a bit of space, which if you aren't moving around much is fine.

Grab these, they are a great deal!

Every time somebody says this I panic for fear my stash of Sansa Clips from Woot! will eventually run out and I'll have to buy some at retail. I'm down to one in use, two in reserve. If these headphones are as good as people say, I'll be thrilled.

I bought these (for cheaper) just a few weeks ago on woot. I was FLOORED at the sound from these for the price I paid - it was great. Not as good as my $350 Sennheisers, but a match (especially considering the price) for my Bose AE2i at 3x the price. Only gripe is that the comfy earpieces turn into little thermal blankets for your ear. Great in the winter, not so much in July.

Thought these would be my cheesy pair for work, but these make me happppeeee!!!
