ok so maybe this doesnt qualify this product as a `` 1 star '' ... however ... at least I get you read this and that the point . my boyfriend get these because of the great review , he say they be voted\/listed on some top ten list of great headphone so we be both excite to see how well they would work . we have purchase about 8 pair over the last 2 year for business as we both work from we home office -lrb- we both work out of the same room -rrb- . they arrive from amazon prime in 1 day -lrb- wow ! usually take 2 '' ? '' !?? -rrb- . they look sharp . first thing I notice be that the ear muff be not too thick ... they look more of compact size so I think ok ... its quality not quantity ... minimal be better . I put they on my ear as he be play some random song on he music list and I have to admit it do sound really good . I dont know if it be worth the price - good - but it sound great . I dont know much about bass\/etc with headphone but there seem to be no base it be a `` eminem '' song . not sure if he computer setting be off or what . so move on ... ... sheeeeesh ... ok so I dont know if he be go to keep the thing -lrb- probably -rrb- but it just drive I crazy hearing EVERY lyric to EVERY SONG he play on those thing . I mean ... sure if I have the tv on in the same room I cant hear it . its almost as if ... imagine you be sit on the couch ... and you ` annoying teenage\/or-college neighbor that like to party and listen to loud music ... have it on ... and even though you windows\/doors be close ... you still hear it loudly ... slightly muffle . im tell you , I would prefer the `` seinhauser '' -lrb- its spell something like that - brand -rrb- headphone any day over these and you can get they on amazon from anywhere between $ 25 - $ 30 any random day . that way ... it doesnt defeat the purpose of what ` headphone ' be . you know ... enjoyment for you ears\/mental stimulation - while drive those crazy around you . I be realllly surprised that no one else have leave a 1 star review state this problem . maybe that what the 3 star people be say -lrb- havent have the time to check and read but hopefully this will just save you time -rrb- . good luck = -rrb- I just ask my boyfriend how he like the headphone -lrb- without he know I would write what he say -rrb- - he say `` I like they '' ... `` but I dont know if they be worth the money '' ... if the sound didnt come out of the headphone , I would rate this a 5 star anyday ...
