Well, what to say... If you are looking for the best Budget Headphones with Super Sound Quality and Decent Bass, then these are the ones for you. The Sound Experience of these Headphones is totally new and comforting and you'll get immersed in the Musical World after wearing these. These Pair of cans are probably the best headphones I've used so far. Here are a few pros and cons of this Beauty:

---> Pros:

1) Extremely Comfortable. Won't feel a thing after using it for a while. And the cushions on the Headband as well as on the Earphones are perfectly comfortable.

2) Very light-weight and cool looks. Nice combination of Off-white on the outside and bright teal color on the inside as well as the cable.

3) Excellent Sound quality with a good frequency range of 10Hz-28000Hz which is good for the lows, mids as well as the highs. Also, the Bass of these Headphones just rocks. It feels so natural and smooth. And the Surround Effect is unbelievable!!!

4) Work on Laptops as well as Cellphones. So a good all-round solution for all Music lovers out there.

---> Cons:

1) Cable length is a little short (1.2m or just about 4 ft.). So you have to sit close to your laptop or cellphone/Mp3/Mp4 Player to enjoy the Music.

2) Build quality is a little low(Plastic) but if handled properly should last for a long time.

3) A little low sound Output on Cellphones/Mp3/Mp4 Players but still not a major problem.

3) Well, still searching for more cons.... :)

But if your budget is not too much, then these are the Best headphones for you. One of the Best Budget Headphones that I've used so far and will continue to experience the sheer brilliance and quality provided by these pair of cans. A few tweaks here and there in the Equalizer of your Laptop or your Portable Media Player should do wonders to your listening Experience. And finally, Thanks to Flipkart for their Express Delivery. Seriously, I don't know how they do it. Took them just 20 hrs. to deliver!!!(Placed order on 26/07/2012 at around 7 p.m. and received the shipment on the next day at 3:15 p.m.). Amazing Service!!!

Last thoughts??? Well, just go for it!!! Its totally worth the Money... Enjoy the MUSIC!!!!!!!

Now for the review
1) Nice headphones with a fairly long cable enough to suffice a tall man like 6-7 ft if he keeps his mp3 player or whatever device he want 's to use it with this pair of cans in his jeans pocket or leather jacket still a bit of wire will remain loose for comfort as its 1.2m long non braided rubber cable with a gold plating 3.5mm universal pin . but I am just 5.5 ft or something more like a dwarf...So Its very long for me lol.

2) As for the sound quality as I already have a sennheiser hd 202 pair of can's the comparision was inevitable. The quality of treble lacks somewhere it between but believe me the bass is just impeccable and punchy and after a burn in for a few days or week's these can's show their true potential.

3) Sound leaks a bit but not too much like el-cheapo headphones do, but again its not fully isolated like hd 202's are as the 202's tend to get a little uncomfy after a long time on the head and also heat up the ears a bit unlike these pair of headphones are very comfy.

4) It also tend's to slip off my head sometimes if you are like me and get in the rythm, beat or the groove of the music you are playing sometimes I sway my head a lot and like these have like very less to no grip over the head these tend to fall or slip off my head many times as I also have a slightly smaller head accompanied with my not so great height as all we asian's normally do .

5)at 975 rupees dont expect a miracle to happen or wasen't expecting a hd600 or hd800 spec headphone's but these cans still
serve me very well for the price I paid and also they are a great replacement for my age old ready for retirement hd202 headphones as due to heating up their rubber has peeled off and now now they dont look or sound good anymore as they used to earlier when their leatherette covering was on them. So these make a great replacement for your old headphones of the same price range or a little bit higher than these a I had got the 202's for 1800 or so in 2010. So these cost exactly half and perform equally or like more or less like hd 202's but at this sweet
price point you can't ask for more or can you ?.

6) conclusion) Are these worth the money you can ask yourself that. But with the small quirks and niggles like the slipping off the head (mind you I blame my head and my tendency to sway a lot for that lol) and low treble and sort (which of course you can increase to your liking via your devices integrated or software equaliser) these make a great pair of can's for the money and you probably coudn't ask for more I guess.

I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5 based on my little quick review if you guys are too lazy like me to check out a full review here it is below >>>

its worth every penny...

These headphones i bought were actually bought by seeing the reviews in flipkart. I thought that it was worth the price but as soon as i put it on after receiving, i was disappointed a bit. But when days are consuming, slowly the clarity increased. The openness, depth and all other aspects came upright. I observed and made a small research on this aspect and found that the earphones or headphones normally which are kept unsold or unused after many days or months after manufacture will not work up to the mark until the sound drivers inside get some used and relieve any jam in it. Thus, any headphone you buy will get good after few days of repeated use.
