Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: SUPER DURABLE, good quality Comment: I have had these headphones for 3+ years and am finally putting them to rest but I felt that I should write a eulogy for them since they treated me so well.
First: sound quality--really not bad for it's type of headphones (i.e. non-stereo-headphones where the earpieces are huge). Admittedly, I'm not a sound quality expert, but I found nothing lacking in what these headphones offered me and unlike ear buds, you actually get more "surround sound"
Comfort: So-so. This was the only downside to these headphones, but still, they really weren't that bad. I never really noticed any discomfort until I took the headphones off, then my ears felt a little sore, BUT this was only when I had been wearing them for 2+ hours (from studying all night, etc.)
Durability: AMAZING. I'd love to show you a picture but as I throw mine out now it's bare of the foamy ear coverings, there are scuffs all over the headphones, I threw them around in my bags, slept on them, etc. and they were still working. Even now, they do still work, but the sound is kind of warped. I hope my message is clear: you can pretty much put these babies through anything and they'll still work. They won't last forever, but they will last you a long time and offer good quality.
I would highly recommend them and would have bought a second pair but I couldn't find them in any store. :-( Customer Rating: Summary: Sound Pretty Good , Painful to wear Comment: I like behind the head phones.The are not as a group as comfortable, but it's a trade off for fit, and stability. These sound good but really hurt after a short while, as the plastic wings press on ears ,which are, as we know , tender. Maybe they have different shaped ears on Vulcan. Wish they still made my old Koss 55's. Customer Rating: Summary: amazing headphones.. Comment: this is my second set. the first ones worked great for about 3 yrs.
i got a refurbished one from kystore for 6 bucks (11 including shipping).
they sound pretty good for day to day listening. Customer Rating: Summary: awsome, but to much leakage and too expensive for the quality Comment: I have used this type of headphone for years, they last a long time and they have really good quality for the price they USED TO BE. These headphones used to be much cheaper then they are charging on here, and I'm sure you can find them cheaper with a google search. These headphones served me well, for people who don't like ear buds I would definitely recommend them if you don't want to spend a lot. But like I said they leak in and out, you can hear outside noises unless you turn them up very loud, in which case people around you get annoyed because the sound leaks out and they can hear it loudly. After a few months of use the padding deteriorates and breaks up and falls off, which makes the headphones very uncomfortable. I loved these headphones for so long, but technology has improved and you can get much better quality for the same price. I recommend Sennheiser CX300, they are very very good, and around the same price. (google search) Customer Rating: Summary: Great fit for working out! Comment: I previously spent $100 on a set of popular earbuds. They were the worst ever, didn't stay in my ears at all and were uncomfortable. While these may not be the "coolest" looking headphones, they stay in place and are comfortable. The sound quality is fine, but I am not an extreme audiophile. I own two pairs. I wear one in the office at my desk and the other at the gym. They are very durable. I would definitely recommend these for the active person.
