Advantages: Get the entire full crisp sound in YOUR ear, and not bother others
Disadvantages: None

I remember when I first borrowed these headphones from a friend of mine... and in anticipation for a 3 week Australia trip I was taking that summer, knew these were the headphones I HAD to have... this was in 2001. You see all these bulky, ear-hugging so called great sounding headphones for the best portable performance... when it just isn't the case. Now I'm the type of person who doesn't go for that intense bass sound... I'm sorry, but I actually ...
...Being a music oriented person in general, I wanted the type of headphones that delivered a clear pure sound well enough to hear every type of sound produced in your track. It's the main reason why I purchased these way back then. The best feature though in my opinion, is the fact that the actual "speaker" is contoured to hug the inner portion of your ear and actually produce the sound "in" your ear for the full sound, as supposed to surrounding ...

Advantages: Comfortabe and great sounds quality
Disadvantages: None

My boss gave me these headphones as a gift. I was very excited to ditch my cheap one and figured anything could be better and figured that these would be really nice - and i wasn't disappointed. They are comfortable and the sound quality is great. I run and bike a lot and they stay and you don't have to fuss with them once they are in. They even come with a nice little case so you can keep them in a safe, clean spot. Since I've purchased them as ... Read review

Advantages: Good sound leak ratio/sound blocking.
Disadvantages: A bit hard to keep wearing for long periods of time.

The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro is a very good quality headset for the price. They do a very good job blocking outside noise and they also keep from leaking sound. The adjustable and rotative cups make them flexible and easy to store away. They are also as mentioned in the description very useful for monitoring in musical compositions as the headphones do not hype the lows and highs for you, distorting the sound. The cups are cushioned and are quite ...
...time. The firm grip the headband holds pushes the cups rather hard against your sides, which contributes to less sound leak and blocks out more sound, but it gets uncomfortable rather quickly. I for one can not use them for more then an hour straight without having to take them off for about 5 minutes. They are however without a doubt, worth the salt you spill on them. Summary: These headsets are perfect for semi-pro monitoring on music and for ... Read review

Advantages: Quick pairing, fantastic sound quality, good range, comfortable to wear, light
Disadvantages: ear hook not durable , no play/pasue/skip/back control buttons

...you have iPods, rejoice for Logitech included adapters for almost every type of iPod to secure the transmitter. My Sansa didn't fare so well without adapters, but I actually managed to make it stay firmly on by using one of the iPod adapters. A very small price to pay for such fantastic wireless convenience. Volume control and mute buttons are very easily reachable since volume adjustment is done by pressing the surface of the right earpiece instead ...
...with the transmitter, and you even get warning lights and sound in the headphone when battery is low. A neat trick was pairing with other Bluetooth devices such as my laptop and my phone by holding the pairing button down on my headphone for about 15 seconds until it flashes in blue and red. Both devices paired quickly and streamed music beautifully to my headphones thanks to Bluetooth 2.0 support. Overall, probably one of the best Bluetooth stereo ... Read review

Advantages: Great for late night gaming or competitive play, Great Sound
Disadvantages: Hearing team mates is near impossible, No mute function

...Surround Sound on, well the Tritton AX360 Headset is here to solve all your problems. Long back before I sold my Xbox 360 I constantly found myself having to turn down my Surround Sound so's not to wake the rest of the household. When speaking to a friend about this he recommended I get a pair of surround sound headphones, more specifically he recommended the Turtle Beach headset's. However upon inspection I came to realise that their current product ...
...others had found with the Tritton AX360 headset was hearing each other. The In-game sounds were so over-powering and prominent that it made communication near impossible. I did find one way to improve this was to lower the In-game volume, and up the centre volume on the headset, this did however effect the surround sound experience by making objects, or opponents to my side louder than those in front or behind. Another problem I found was there ... Read review
