I really like these headphones.
I listen to bass-heavy electronic music like trance and these headphones have very sturdy bass and bright highs which are crucially important for the way I listen to this music. I can't really comment on the midrange since I'm not an audiophile.
The sealed headphones, when on your head, do not disturb others. Likewise the outside sound in my loud office environment is attenuated greatly by the sealed circumaural design which was my primary reason for buying these.
I only have two complaints. My glasses rub against the pads with a terrible noise which can be remedied by putting cloth over the pads. The other is probably not specific to these headphones but to all circumaural phones--it presses into my neck slightly below the ear and behind the jaw. It caused a rather weird sensation at first but I've gotten used to it.
Tightness is not a problem with these phones because of the vinyl-wrapped metal headband. This is great because it's impossible to overextend them--you just bend them back into shape with no trouble.
The Sheckler Signature model of these phones is the least expensive by at least 20 dollars when I bought it (maybe his sponsorship contract ended?). The red color had gotten lots of compliments and the skater's signature isn't out of place at all.
Excellent strain-relief, gold-plated 1/8" plug.
The impedence is just right for my portal XM Satellite Radio receiver and other devices. Always make sure your audio device can drive heavy headphones like these.
 I love these headphones! September 28, 2008

First of all, did I just read a review saying that these had too much bass? Thats crazyness these are just right. I will agree that bass is exceptionally strong at low volumes, it evens out and sounds excellent and balanced when the volume goes up. For the money I paid I have no complaints at all. These phones are really well balanced and clear, If I listen to metal I can still hear the voices where as all my other headphones tend to blend all the sound together. When I listen to acoustic and bluesy music, the highs are clear and sharp.
Another thing on my list of favorite things is the comfort, I have medium sized ears on a big fat head and these fit better than any I ever worn, I forget they're on! The cord is short, no longer than needed for a laptop or ipod/zune.
One last note, these headphones look much larger than they are, in person they are a perfect minature of studio headphones, really not big at all. I recommend these to anyone who wants cool headphones that sound great and fit like a glove!
P.S. The red Ryan Sheckler phones are exactly the same as the others, just with that black signature on the side, it looks cool in person though.
Good closed headphones for the money October 12, 2008

I purchased these because I like to listen to music in quiet environments, and these are of the closed type, which keeps your music in and other noises out. For this low price (for closed phones), they perform well and they look great to boot. Another reason I purchased these is because most types of headphones hurt my ears. These, however are quite comfortable. I'm no audiophile, but getting decent headphones and not using bad ones such as the stock ipod ones makes an amount of difference that anyone can appreciate.

I ordered the headphones and they didn't come with the plug and cable extension. I wrote to Amazon and the sent me another ones. Both of them were missing the same thing! So, I guess they actually don't bring those pieces Amazon says on the website. I guess is a mistake. A friend of mine ordered the green ones and they do come with the plug and the extension.
The headphones are great thought!
Good headphones, Description is wrong, you don't get extension cable. November 7, 2008
The people that are saying these headphones are as good as the more expensive ones must be tone deaf or something. They are good headphones but are not worth more than what they cost ~$40. I got mine for around $21 so they are a bargain at that price. Sound quality is good for most people, the headphones do not isolate outside noise as you might imagine, you can easily hear what's going on around you when the volume is low. These do not come with the extension cable so you'll need to buy an extension if you plan to use these with anything other than a portable MP3 player cable is only 4ft enough to go from your head to your waist. These are also very light, which makes them feel cheap but perfect for portable use. They also seem very delicate with the thin metal wires and plastic construction, but I can't judge on that as I've only had them for a few days now. Bottom line if you are looking for audiophile sound quality and something that feels like it's built well spend the money on the expensive stuff. If you want a good set of headphones you won't feel bad about abusing, letting your kids use them or losing them then get these, perfect for work.
