I bought a pair of Sennheiser DJ Style Headphones with Enhanced Bass Drivers from Newegg for $26 (with 99¢ shipping). Designed to be lightweight for extended use, these headphones are comfortable to wear and sound great. Best of all, they did not force me to break my cash-box open. I have to say, I love them.
Pros:
The sound is great, I can really tell individual sounds from each-other — something that I have trouble with on cheap headphones due to hearing loss.
- These headphones are extremely comfortable to wear. I can wear them for a few hours without noticing them.
- These headphones are extremely lightweight, weighing 0.2875lbs (4.6 oz.)
- The 9.8ft cable length is more than what I need.. I keep more than half of it bunched up with a “twistie-tie”.
- These headphones are Circumaural, meaning they go around the ear.
- The headphones have descent insulation so as to block out quiet background noise.
Cons:
These headphones are kind of big, and can not be tossed into a backpack. This is no real complaint, a good pair of around-the-ear headphones should be like this.
My other thoughts:
These headphones have everything I would expect in a nice quality pair of headphones. There is nothing I can truly complain about, but I do wish they would have come with a case.
Originally, I wanted noise canceling headphones, but further research informed me that, for every day use, noise canceling headphones are not that great for in-home use. So, until I have a jet engine sitting outside my office window, I won’t worry about noise cancellation technology.
