While the $200 price tag is steep and higher than it was when originally introduced, this headphone probably deserves to be in whatever price bracket the Sennheiser HD25 is in... even if I happen to think both should be $50 cheaper. The O-One has very extended highs and fairly balanced frequency response throughout except for a suck-out in the lower midrange. It can get a teensy bit tinny in the treble, which is probably the result of some small frequency dips throughout the mids and treble combined with the slight upper two octaves' brightness, but it's not bad and some of the initial brightness seems to relax over time with burn-in (I hope that's not just the onset of hearing damage?). Though the bass doesn't go quite as deep as the HD280, it still seems deeper and plays more tunefully down there than the Sony and there's no wooly quality noticeable in the mids, either. The Sony might still have a touch more of upper bass kick compared to the Ortofon's prodigious bass "bloom" (like flower, not bomb).

Compared to the HD280, HD25, and Sony V6/7506, the O-One is the most "open-sounding" of the four. It is the best implementation of the Ultrasone S-Logic baffle I have heard on a closed headphone. For those wondering, this is manufactured by Ultrasone's Asian OEM but was "voiced" by Ortofon and is a unique result from prior Ultrasones. It's probably worth trying the Sony first to make sure it is not objectionable to you. If its rolled-off extreme highs, harder mid-treble, slightly less extended bass than the O-One, and more closed sound isn't an issue for you, then you can save a hundred bucks and go that route. If you're looking for closed earpad headphones or extreme durability under $200, then the HD25 is the automatic choice. I find that one doesn't handle the treble at very loud volumes quite as well as the others, though. They can get kind of splashy. The HD25 is otherwise an inoffensive, mud-free balance in overall smoothness and response, though it lacks the deepest bass, the highest highs, or the immediacy of some of the others.

It doesn't seem you can have everything in this price range. This brings me to the last point: if you're hell-bent on spending $200 on closed-back headphone, you might want to consider another $50-100 to get into the next performance bracket where you will compromise less and start achieving extension on both ends, low distortion, and good balance all in the same model.

I got this amp a few months ago after my crate G20 died. This amp is 30 watts which seems low for a 212 amp, it has a very good volume level. It has a good clean channel. The only thing I don't like about the clean channel is that it's not as bright as I'd like. The distortion is not bad, I'm not a big distortion fan, I usually play rock, blues, and oldies. The only bad part on this amp to me is the distortion drive distorts very quickly. The reverb is decent, it's a digital reverb, the crate had a spring reverb so I prefer. The chorus works well a pedal is nice so you can change the rate. Over all this is a very good amp. If your short on money to get a large 212 I would recommend this amp.

I wanted something smaller and more portable then my half stack so I decided to bu this amp. I think what a lot of people don't know is that 30 watts is able to get as loud as just about any amp (watts don't mean loudness read up on them). I play for my church band and this amp is very portable and can be easy to put a mic to and get a good sound. Even in a recording situation most will prefer to mic and record a lower watt amp then more. overall this is a very good amp for the price.

I just bought this amp and have only played it once. It took me a second to dial in the tone, gain, and volume knobs to get a good sound. The built in effects aren't really that great so I wouldn't depend on that. I kind of expected that and went a head and bought other pedals. But for the price of this amp you cant beat it. There's two twelve inch speakers in this thing that can be extremely loud when turned up. Also, the amp is pretty light weight which is a plus when you play a lot of small gigs and have to carry it around all the time. Great for practice, studio, and small gigs. And, it wasn't that expensive.

Want Kustom KG212FX 30W 2 x 12 Guitar Combo Amp with Digital Effects Discount?

Nice unit with the 2 12 inch speakers. There's nothing out there for the price of these amps. Great for practicing or small gigs. You can't go wrong.

The Kustom KG212FX exceeded my expectations in every way. My Squire Tele, my Ibanez GART60 sound great through it. I am very happy with this amp. I'd recommend this amp to anyone. (Jeff Wolf)

Added 8-24-2013: This amp continues to exceed my expectations in every way. I've stopped using my digitech and other pedals, the distortion on this amp along with the built in reverb, delay, and chorus are enough for me. The clean channel sounds fantastic. In reading reviews at other dealers, one thing I see people mention negative is that the effects are poor and the distortion isn't that great. I guess that depends on what you are trying to play. I go for that classic rock sound, 80's metal sound, punk sound, and this amp is just great for me, I rarely push the gain past 12 o'clock and I'm happy with it. I'm not playing high price guitars either, I play a Squier Affinity Tele and an Ibanez GART60 and they both sound great with this amp. I will say there was a little learning curve finding the right settings for my amp and guitars because of the shared EQ, but that isn't a deal breaker. Now I've got the settings where I need them and use the Kustom footswitch I also bought to kick between channels and I am very happy with my sound. I have a friend who plays a Schecter through a Crate tube amp and he thinks my Kustom amp sounds amazing. Haha, maybe I lucked out with a good one? I doubt it...

Just received it and charged it. Charging went really fast I am assuming it was shipped nearly charged. Tried to Pair with my iPad would not work. So, I tried with my iPhone success! But, the minute I tried to leave the music app and do something else it disconnected and lost the link. This does not seem to me to be user friendly, I do not see how anyone could accept this method of operation. So, I am hoping this one is defective and have requested to return it. I ordered two this one came from the seller 1ON1 and the other is supposed to be coming from Amazon. I will update this if there is any change to my opinion of the headset once I have another to try.

UPDATE Just got the second headset I ordered. Still a very fast charge. This time the headset linked with my iPhone without a problem. I can answer the phone and it goes back to my music. I can leave the music program and read/send email without interrupting the music. Sound is so-so but very acceptable. On the phone I sound "muffled" to the person I am talking. It does a lot of "skipping" at a distance (over 15 feet) but it still does some skipping even when sitting at the desk next to the phone. For the price acceptable. The first one is obviously defective but the seller (1ON1) never contacted me after my initial complaint (several days ago).

UPDATE 2 Had a chance to use them for my morning workout not a great experience. First, the headset will not stay put during exercises which involve head movement (Toe touches, sit-ups); second I only do an hour walk on the treadmill at a moderate pace (3 miles/hour) but this does cause moderate sweating the phones get very wet. I can only imagine what would happen if I really worked up a sweat. So, they are terrific for around the office or house or out-and-about but I would not recommend using them for any work-outs.

Wireless headphones are great! Sleek product. Great for at the gym, or running in the park. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a similar device.

After using my headphones over a period of time, I have to say these are DEFINITELY a good price for the quality of the product! Sound is exceptional when talking on the phone and listening to music. Headphones fit VERY SNUG and don't fall off when moving around (i.e. running, exercising, etc.). Extremely great for use with apple products. Sound and bass is wonderful. I use it with my iphone and there is a small icon between the bluetooth icon and battery level icon that indicates how much power the headphones have remaining.

I am completely satisfied! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

Overall, these headphones are great for the price you pay.

Ease of Use-

Setup with these headphones was a breeze. I was able to pair them to my laptop and my cellphone without the directions. The included directions are very helpful if you are new to bluetooth devices and are unsure how to pair components. I read through all of the directions and they are definitely clear and concise about all the features and do a good job explaining the operation of them.

Feel-

The feel of these is the biggest drawback. I do not find these to be that comfortable. They don't seem to squeeze my head real tight, which is good unless I am exercising or just moving my head. I had to extend the headphones to get them to fit properly, on each side you can pull the ear part to make it slide out further. What these need is a way for the ear pieces to swivel or pivot to ensure a tighter fit on the head. Several times when I would lean forward (so that my face was parallel to the ground) the headphones would slip off or slide around out of position. It should be noted that I have an average sized head. I can wear these for about an hour and a half before they get uncomfortable and I must remove them to give my head a break.

Audio-

The audio coming from the speakers sounds good to me. I am not an audiophile, but I can still tell when things just don't sound good. These aren't the greatest audio quality, but they definitely sound good for the $25. I had great reception on these headphones even through multiple walls and more than thirty feet away, no static at all. They are plenty loud enough for me, and they don't have a whole lot of noise pollution. The mic quality is average. I don't think that most people buy these to make phone calls and I certainly don't plan to ever talk on the phone with them.

Battery-

I don't know the exact battery life, but I have gotten several hours from them without charging. My experience is that charging takes around two hours. The headphones arrived with a slight charge and after about an hour they were fully charged.

Quality-

When wearing these headphones, I can hear everything that is said around me. I realize that these are not noise cancelling, but they don't block out any sound at all. There are buttons on the side for adjusting things like volume, all of my buttons feel good but one. The back button, just doesn't feel right. It works just fine but it doesn't click like the other buttons making it hard to tell that it has been pressed. When I received mine, they were slightly dirty on the top.

If you are looking for a pair of inexpensive bluetooth headphones, then I would certainly recommend that you check these out.

I like this product a lot. I have a hard time getting a hold of the tech side of music but this product isn't too hard to work with. Lots of presets which sound great. Comes with Ableton lite which is nice for recording all your little ditties. Comes with some drum software too but I'm too numb to "get" it.

I bought this for the purpose of sending my ideas across the country, which it works great for. My only problem is that the e-drums are tough for me to grasp (programming beats for my tunes), but that's my problem not the product.

M-Audio managed to put together a stylish looking interface that works really well. I've never had a Fast Track before, but I used to have a PCI M-Audio interface (Delta 10/10lt) I was very pleased with. I have an Asus N61Jq-X1 laptop with a 1.6GHz i7 processor, 8GB memory (upgraded), Windows 7 and Cubase 5 on board. I picked C400 out of all USB interfaces because it's a 2011 fall model and it comes from a brand I personally trust. I considered a Focusrite for some time, but again I decided to pick the freshest and technologically superior device.

The C400 packaging looks great and professional. Inside the box there is the interface itself, a USB cable, an installation CD (drivers + manuals), a quick-start guide and a Pro Tools SE copy (already uninstalled due to many limitations this version has).

The driver was installed fast with no hiccups. The interface is powered via USB port and is ready to use in about 2-3 seconds after you plug it in. The device itself is solid. The knobs, buttons and connectors look and feel sturdy but could have been seated more accurately (besides connectors). I like the fact that all controls are on top of C400 and not on the front side as usual. Also since it stands on my table I can easily see what I adjust because of the right angle this interface has. I find the peak meters very handy to adjust levels plus they look very cool on an overall black interface. Built-in DSP is a nice touch. The effects (reverb, delay and echo) are realistic and good enough to get a decent idea of how the end product will sound. The lowest latency you can get with C400 is 128 samples and it's usable with near zero pops/clicks when I don't load many CPU hungry plug-ins.

According to M-Audio web-site, C400 is compatible with USB 3.0. In my case it is partially correct because it started to work properly with the port ONLY after I switched it to EHCI mode (USB 2.0 speed) in BIOS. Since I don't need USB 3.0 speed but rather want to use a spare port, the solution works very well for me. Also I'd like to mention that C400 works fine with USB 2.0 ports right out of the box.

So my score is:

Design 5 stars (I love the way it looks)

Ease of installation 3 stars (for the USB 3.0 hassle I had)

Features 5 stars

Usability 5 stars

Price/Value 5 stars (I got it with an awesome Amazon promotion for 207.2 plus tax)

---------------------

Overall 4.6 stars

Buy Avid 9900-65162-12 M-Audio Fast Track C400 - Next Generation 4x6 Recording Interface with DSP Now

I like this product mainly because it has input level meters and input monitoring with DSP effects (which I have not found on any comparable sound cards). However, after only a couple of uses, the interface stopped recording. It plays back audio, but does not record (no sound comes into the DAW from the audio interface. It is clear that no sound is coming from the interface itself as the input level meters do not move. I checked all my settings, and reinstalled drivers, but to no avail. I am trying to contact Avid support, as I am certain the unit has become defective. This is not a very reliable product, but I would buy it again because of the features. Hopefully, I will get decent support from Avid.

1/26/2013

Changing my original review score from 3 stars to 1 star:

I received an RMA, returned the defective item (had to pay for shipping to send the item) and received a replacement--soon to find out that the replacement is also defective. Input channel 1 of the interface does not work. I took all the necessary steps to make sure the problem is with the interface and not my cable or microphone. I contacted Avid again, and they told me to contact the 3rd party company that they deal with that sent me the replacement. I called the 3rd party company and they said they would e-mail me another RMA, but I would have to pay for shipping again to return the defective replacement they sent me. I waited for a several days, but received no RMA. I contacted Avid customer support again and asked them to followup on my RMA with the 3rd party, and to waive the return shipping (I should not have to pay for shipping again!). He promised me he would follow up and get back to me. It's been about a week since I spoke to Jim at Avid. Until now, I have received no response from him and no RMA. In all honesty, this product is a joke and customer service is more of a joke.

----------------

3/16/2013

Two months later after I requested my second RMA, I finally have a replacement on the way from Avid (haven't received it yet). Unbelievable lack of customer support, partly because Avid itself does not do the repair but deals with third party called Test Technology to handle their repairs (at least for the Fast Track). What delayed the process is that I got stuck dealing with both companies. So I kept getting asked the same questions over and over such as "What is the product serial number?", "Tell me again what is wrong with the product?" with a response by e-mail every few days to a week. It's true I could have called in and yelled at Avid, but I didn't because I simply switched over to using my older sound card while they took their sweet time to respond. I am uncertain why two units had the same failure, and I am concerned about the third unit eventually having the same problem. I have been recording for over 20 years and used multiple sound cards with my same configuration, so I am certain it is nothing on my end. In case it helps anyone here is a description of my system:

--Win 7 Professional 64 bit

--HP Elitboook 8540w Laptop

--Used only for Microphone recording with Phantom Power always on

--Usually left the Fast Track connected to laptop and laptop almost always on (or on standby)

M Audio did a nice job with this unit. Physically it looks like a really nice interface on your desktop. It matched my monitors and looks beautifully. When i received this product it had a few scratches on the top where the gain knobs are. Its very sensitive in that area since its glass or some sort. The unit looks beautiful but the plastic makes me really uneasy because i know if the product was to drop it would break easily. I know a few people have had trouble with this unit but remember that shipping distance has a lot to do with your products arrival and it being defective. When i order my products i order them as nearly as possible to avoid the shipping carrier ruining my product. Just a thought! Anyways, Installation of the driver was super easy on my windows 7 64 bit. I had no use for Pro Tools SE since i already have a favorite DAW (Presonus Studio One Producer). Works well with my daw but that wasnt easy to set up. Took me a good 45 minutes to work well with it. The audio quality is great! Better than my old presonus audio box. I havent tested against others since i haven't used anything other than the presonus audio box before this and an old omega usb interface back in 2005. You can def use this for Pro or Home studio recordings. I recommend if your the type that takes good care of your products and want an upgrade in audio quality. I do not recommend to take on the road OR for those who dont treat there equipment nicely.

The microphone input on my Koss dongle never worked, and the output worked only briefly before dying. Moreover, the output sound was not as good as that from the headphone output on my MacBook Pro. After one use with my headphones, the device is now completely dead. So my rating is really zero stars. I'm glad that it seems to work for some, but I had no luck with it.

Sure, I bought it used at Long-McQuade musical instruments store. But 3 days only? I played in about 5 times at home only. On the 4th day there was no signal coming out of the Phones/out socket and it produced a noise as if the ground was disconnected. It tried resetting itself with no success. I decided to write this review because I haven't seen any complaints about the technical durability of the G300. Apparently, it can be a problem, even though mine was bought in excellent cosmetic condition, no traces of it being dropped etc.

I am glad it died so soon so I could get a refund.

Else, the pedal has 128 memory slots. They come with factory-preset sounds. The cleans are beautiful and professionally sounding (warm tone). Each preset can be modified by user and reset back to factory state.

It doesn't have

-pickup simulator

-acoustic simulator

-rotary

All effects are generated in stereo.

It all was "too good to be true" in my particular case. Perhaps you'd be having better fortune than me :)

I have tried virtually every effects processor, stomp box, etc. on the market. THIS THING ROCKS!!! In my humble opinion, the only thing better is the Rocktron Prophesy II (almost $2000) Yes it has all the normal accompaniments such as reverb, chorus, delay, tremolo, detune, etc. All the timed effects. But the real gold to be had is in the distortion. Absolutely the best. Modern ultra tight, ultra linear, totally customizable. I play 8 string guitars and this thing can reach down and swim with the low frequency of the F string. All the while maintaining that super saturation without all the noise and breakup of other digital modulation. Even Line 6 can't do that. (not without spending the $$$ for the VETTA II head) I cannot say enough good things about the distortion of this unit. Too many types and sounds to list. Like the brochure says, "we didn't try to model your grandpas 69 bassman."

MAJOR downfalls: The built in tuner is as worthless as Barack Obama. Totally useless. The other major issue is the lag time between patches. This makes the pedal board utterly useless for playing live. Not sure why it hasn't been addressed by Rocktron. Other than these two issues, If I lost mine today, I would buy another tomorrow.

I bought this item on February 17, 2012 from ButterflyPhoto and I must say that I could not be happier with my purchase. This was the only bundle with the headphones that I could find on Amazon (that didn't come with a keyboard or something with a much heftier price tag) and it even matched the price of the headphones alone elsewhere in the marketplace. I didn't hesitate, got the bundle, and have been amazed by the quality of both products. The headphones and E5 I received were both genuine and sound fantastic together and on their own. The E5 added the extra oomph to the bass from the M50 and was definitely worth having around. The amp included 2 male to male 3.5mm cables, one short L-shape cable and one longer I-shape one.

My M50s have been a pretty beastly set of cans for the price I payed for them. At first, I was slightly disappointed, but shortly after I was stunned that my [what I thought were] fantastic sounding earphones sounded so much worse than they used to because of the clarity the M50s had shown my ears. After about a 50 hours of use, the M50s rarely leave my head when I'm at home. Every time I walk by and see these headphones, I'm tempted to just start listening away at my entire music library. They've even challenged me to find higher quality copies of my entire library. I'm no audiophile, but I do enjoy a clear, defined listening experience and these cans have done me justice.

One thing that bugged me was that the bass seemed to be slightly lacking, but I later discovered that it was generally the song's lack of bass that gave me this desire for more. When I listened to a song with a really bassy intro (Kanye West's Love Lockdown), I could tell that the power was definitely there to give me the bass I wanted. A slight EQ adjustment made these headphones perfect music to my ears. These headphones are made to be studio monitor headphones, and play the track as they were meant to be heard by the artist. These headphones have an incredibly balanced range, and instrument separation has been getting better with every day of use that passes. They're comfortable, sound great, look sharp, and have the build quality of a genuinely high quality product. Get some of these, now.

Dear Amazon

I received my Casio CTK-2300 keyboard & accessariesCasio CTK-2300 61-Key Premium Portable Keyboard Package with Headphones, Stand and Power Supply

The keyboard is just what I expected a portable keyboard that plays well with lots of different ways to play.

When I ordered, I saw that a stand was included but when I received my order, the stand was not included in the box.

The representative did an excellent job of solving the problem and I will receive a stand. Thank you Amazon customer service.

After reading various reviews I did indeed buy an additional power supply, although the keyboard does come with one. I am very glad I did because the one that comes in the box with the keyboard does NOT WORK. I put the batteries in and it worked just fine. I will have to wait on the other PS because they shipped in two parts. I will say that although I put down for the basic shipping and was expecting it to come in about 5 days it actually came in 3. Just curious to know why these PS are not working with many of the keyboards? They are in the original box WITH the keyboard, not as an extra purchase. I just realized that the one I did order is NOT compatible with the CTK-2300 although it was under the things mostly ordered along with the keyboard. That is my fault for not reading further on the notes section. It fits about 20 different keyboards just not the one I purchased, so be careful if you are planning on doing the separate purchases.

A few days later... I received the 2nd power supply and it didn't fit either! I did order the the one from World TourWTAD5 which is supposed to be for the Casio models CTK BUT once again, when it arrived it didn't fit!! Now I mad because I have 3 power supplies and none of them work! So I am packing up the whole thing and sending it back. Probably going to order the Yamaha version and see where that gets me. I really did like the keyboard but the adapter issue is just too much to handle at this point!

the headphones were broken when i got them but the stand and the pinao was great ... although i could tell the pinao was used when i ordered new

Before purchasing this keyboard, I had no knowledge of how to play. The song book that was included, and the tunes you could play along to really helped me learn. It's easy to use, has great sound, and everything works great. 5/5 stars for sure!

These are by far the best headphones i have ever owned. I was lucky enough to find this headphone at Amazon, and i am more than pleased. Being a musician for most of my life, sound quality is extremely important to me and these headphones do not dissapoint. They are capable of reaching frequencies FAR lower than i have ever heard in a set of headphones...

I researched a lot on headphones and this was the closest to my budget and the style I was looking for. Unfortunately when I received this product, it came in with a huge pink stain on the headband and sides. I was disappointed because these were the style and color I really wanted. It seemed the box was already opened as if it were inspected for damage but still went out for delivery anyway. It is a bulky headphone. I couldn't test it much due to the fact I had to return it. So I can't tell much of the sound quality or long use of it. I was told by the seller that this batch (purple/milk) was all stained and they offered me a discount for a different color. They were very understanding and refunded my money with no problem and quick. I did however choose to do more research on the style i am looking for, So i refused the offer.

first off I bought, own and love my Eden WT550 at FULL PRICE, about $1300 several years ago. I own two "head" amps one is my eden. the other is a Thunderfunk 550. I love the Eden world tour amp tone and controls flexibility. if you want a thick commanding bass tone, you MUST check out eden world tour amps. I'm am not a super committed musician, but I know great bass tone when I hear it. Eden world tour amps hit that mark very often in my book.

because of my HDADHD (joke kinda) I will not go into alot, if any technical detail, but I will tell you from the bottom of my heart will kick alot of butt and hold its own against fender, ampeg, swr, and it will fit in comfortably with greater brands like aguilar, sadowsky, etc. paired with some decent cabs, I'd recommend aguilar, bergantino or epifani. people, even people who don't know why things sound good will make compliments.

I run my wt550 with bergantion ht112+ex112+aguilar gs112 cabs and my fellow musicians love it.

If I ever get rid of this amp for any reason other than to never play bass again.... I SHOULD BE SHOT DEAD! seriously!

thats how much I love this amp. and at $600..something its an awesome bargain!

If you play something other than Eden it is simply because the legendary tone isn't your style. If it is for any other reason.....

I have been an Eden player for quite some time and have tried many others. This amp is the stuff dreams are made of.

The WT-550 is a great sounding amplifier, straight out of the box. you have to do very little tweaking or eq-ing to find an amazing, warm, powerful sound. The size is a little inconvenient, because you have to use rack mount ears to rack mount the amp, and they can be cantankerous to attach if you don't have the right length screws (Eden supplies the ears, but not the screws to mount them to the sides of the amp).

The main problem I've had is with the reliability of the amp. Mine is my number one playing amp, which I use every weekend. I have owned it for approximately 8 months, purchased new. About 2 months ago, it started having problems where it just stops putting out sound without warning. It is totally random but started happening each show where the amp just died in the middle of a set power still on to the unit but no sound coming out of cabinet or XLR to the board. The amp is cool to the touch when this happens and shows no warning led's or limit flashes and does not appear to be thermalling out, as I use a relatively low stage volume, do not push the EQ, and set the input gain low according to Eden's recommendations. The only solution is to turn it off for a few hours and then it works fine. sometime it works for an hour or more, sometimes it conks out after 5 minutes of sound check. I shipped the amp (at my own expenseEden would not reimburse) to an Eden authorized warranty center who had it for several weeks, only to be told that they could not find anything wrong and could not replicate the problem. they "tightened up" "some connections" and shipped it back to me. I tried using the amp at a show again last night after getting it back, and it conked out again on me in the middle of the second set. At this point, I am going to contact Eden and demand they send me a replacement unit, although I do not now know if I could ever trust another Eden amplifier.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend purchasing a WT-550. The amp sounds wonderful, but I can't rely on it to be there for me when I need it, which makes it worthless in my book. I will give Eden a chance to make it right, but do not have high hopes....

I've had my Eden WT550 head since early 2007. It's been incredibly reliable, with no issues of any kind. Heck I haven't even replaced the pre-amp tube, and it still sounds amazing.

My previous main amp was a Mesa Boogie Bass 400, which used to cost $150+ to re-tube every few years, the WT550 beats it in tone, reliability, portability.

Moving the Mesa around was always a bit of an exercise, its about ~50 lbs and due to its shape and weight you basically had to put it in a 4u+ case.

Meanwhile, the WT550 weighs about 19lbs and fits in most backpacks. I honestly can't tell you the number of times I've thrown that thing in a backpack and run to practice or a gig.

Additionally the WT550 comes with a bunch of Really Neat Things the Mesa did not; headphone out, balanced line out, etc, etc.

In terms of sound, when paired with a 410XLT and a 210XST it provides strong mids, with clear highs and incredibly deep lows. It definitely has a "modern" sound, so its not an SVT, but personally, I find that SVT tone to be a little boring (and somewhat played out.)

Per the Eden manual I tend to just set it flat and tune the EQ for the room, and it always just sounds awesome. Their manual is really well written, if you buy one of these I'd suggest reading the "setup" section at least, as its quite helpful.

All in all, I'm a huge fan of this amp, if it ever dies, it will be replaced by either another WT550, a WT400 (if I can find one...) or an WT800.

Noontec ZOROHDSIL ZORO HD True Sound Headphones with Inline Mic and Answer/End Button- Silver

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $149.99
Sale Price: $99.95
Today's Bonus: 33% Off

These headphones look like Beats Solo HDs, but sound much much better in my opinion. Beats Solo HD headphones sound boomy and muddy to my ears, but the Zoro HD's sound like high fidelity phones. I took these headphones to a Fourth of July parade, I had my relatives try them out, and two of them said "Oh my goodness, these sound so clear!"

That's the way I would characterize the sound of these headphones, crystal clear, clean, and balanced. The treble is pristine without being sharp or piercing, the mids are forward but not intrusive, and the bass is potent and clear and extends down deep.

When I say that the Zoro HDs sound balanced, I mean that no part of the sound spectrum dominates the other. Bass, mids, and highs can all be heard equally. The headphones are portable and can be folded up and placed in the accompanying pouch.

The negatives: The build quality is not quite as premium as with the Beats by Dre line, and when you crank the volume on your MP3 player all the way loud (which you will not need to do with these headphones because they are efficient), it sounds a tad scratchy. If you wear glasses, you might not like the pressure that the ear cup places on your right ear. Also, if you like DJ music where the bass rattles the fillings in your mouth and You hear and feel the beat, but it overwhelms the other instruments and the song, you won't be satisfied with the Zoros.

But if you like hearing beautiful pristine music that sounds exactly the way the artist intended, you will be very happy with the Zoros.

The sound is a detailed stereo sound, meaning that you will hear bass in one ear, vocals over your head, piano or guitar in another ear, etc. It sounds like you are in a auditorium, and you can almost pinpoint where on the stage the different instruments are being played.

These are sealed headphones, they will not leak sound if you have them properly placed directly on your ears (I suppose if you have the volume turned all the way up, which is not advised, they might leak a little...)

At the $100 price point, these headphones are hard to beat. They have a clearer sound than the similarly priced Sennheiser HD 438, They do not sound congested and insular like the ATH M50s, And they do not sound harsh like the Grado SR 60 or the Grado SR 125.

But in my view, they are one step below $350 sealed headphones like the Sennheiser Momentum, which are even clearer with a more luxurious build quality.

But these headphones get a lot of time on my ears, because they are portable, affordable, easy to tote around, and they look awesome :)

By the way, do not confuse these with the Zoro professional headphones, which are priced $40 cheaper. They are good, but they leak sound, and these are a big step up.

Highly recommended, and they do not need a headphone amplifier, though they benefit slightly from a portable amp like the Fiio E11.

Wow. I'm surprised that Noontek is not advertising these headphones hard like Beats by Dre. These hit hard. It's comfortable on my ears and the sound quality is awesome. Big upgrade from my iphone 5 buds. For a $100 I highly recommend them.

The sound is very balanced, the case is nice, and they fold up fairly compact. Able to wear them for hours comfortably, ears get warm if it's hot out, but that is any on ear headphone. The included cable works great, never tangles and the button answers calls and pauses my Google music on my Note II! Great headphones at this price point.

I just received these and they do sound better than the standard ZORO. The sound is more refined and the bass seems tighter. Now the cable included has a Mic/Control button. Is it worth the upgrade? I think so if you have the cash to spend. If you are looking for a budget set of wired headphones for $100, I don't think you can go wrong with these...

Want Noontec ZOROHDSIL ZORO HD True Sound Headphones with Inline Mic and Answer/End Button- Silver Discount?

First, the sound. I'd say excellent. I can imagine it could be better, but great for what I've experienced from others. Tight bass and good low frequency extension. You can feel the bass and no noticeable distortion. Loud bass doesn't influence other parts of the passage. The overall impression is that the sound is transparent. Good separation of instruments. I am hearing things i haven't heard before. One of my tests is middle treble piano music. Everything but the highest end systems distort the attack of each note. Not the Noontec. Thank you! The only slight negative, and the reason it's not a 5 star is comfort. It's light (that's good), padding is soft (also good), but pressure on the ears maybe could be less, or maybe adjustable. Some people need to wear headphones 8 hrs a day I would look elsewhere in that case. These are my most comfortable set, but I'm still hungering for the ultimate comfort.

When this cable came, it was already slightly broken with audio cutting out if you bump it a little. Now, about 3 weeks later it barely functions and the left channel is essentially non-existent. Spend the extra 5 bucks for something that will actually last.

Gets 2 stars because its so cheap and I noticed that some have had better experience than I have had, and it has been abused a bit under my care, so if you are going to be extremely careful and not really touch the cable ever then it should work, but if you are switching it from device to device with any sort of frequency I recommend a higher quality cable from mediabridge or monster or some other quality brand.

Given the price of this product, you really can't go wrong. For about a $5 price point (varying) there are really no downsides to this product because regardless of wether the quality is good or not you are only down $5, not a big deal to some. I used to use this cable to run audio cables from my sound receiver (L and R audio) to a 3.5mm wire connected to my phone and computer. It worked good for about a few days, then with even the slightest movement of the cable a static sound would occur during a song or whatever audio was playing at the moment. I took out the cable and switched it with another, not sure on the brand however, but the static dissipated so I knew it had to be this product. Durability may be lacking or it may have just been my carelessness with handling the cable properly, but it did carry good sound quality. All in all, for a five dollar investment I would recommend getting 2 of them to make paying the cost of shipping even slightly worth it.

This is my first Amazon review but when I saw the previous review I was compelled to add my thoughts. I can't speak to the problems the other person had but I love these. Previously I only used top of the line Sennheiser headphones but I wanted an earbud type for the gym. I read many reviews and although people seem to really like the sound quality of the Shure models, the IE-20 XB had two more things that were important to me besides excellent audio quality. One was comfort I was very concerned that earbuds would not be comfortable in my ears. But these really are! I have used them for long plane rides and they fit great. Secondly, the bass response is amazing. I can hear every detail of my music (and I listen to many different types of music).

These were my first experience with M-Audio products and I am buying another pair today for my wife.

So, depending on your budget, get these if you want excellent audio quality, great comfort, and serious bass response in your music.

I am a DJ and I needed something that would go in my ear for events where using regular DJ headphones were cumbersome. Once you get the IE-20 positioned into your ear canal right, the sounds quality is stellar and works great for cueing in a DJ situation.

One caveat though, is these earphones don't have a long slinky cord like you'd find on a pair of professional grade headphones. The IE-20 cable isn't very long, it is kinky, and gets tangled easily. If you step slightly away from the decks, you can bet on yanking at least one of the IE-20s out of your ear.

The IE-20s come with a carry case which is cool, but is almost too small to pack them in. They also come with several size ear buds, to allow you to make the perfect fit.

The sound quality is definetly suitable for even a professional environment.

Comfortable, light-weight, great sound, great with drums. The isolation level is great as well so you can hear just enough acoustic background noise when you're playing.

Want M-Audio IE-20 Professional Reference In-Ear Monitors with Extended Bass Discount?

This pair seems to have all the known advantages of in ears and almost all disadvantages, except the bass. The fit is pretty comfortable. I find the "detachable cables"(and of course replaceable) a very good feature. Half the headphones that I've stopped using is due to damaged cables.

The foam tips that came with the set did not feel very comfortable. I used them for a while then tried takin em off, but they would not slip off easily, had to tear em apart :(. But well, m happy with the silicone tips.

16dB of isolation is quite a bit, make sure you don't wear it in an environment where that could turn out to be a disadvantage. M guessing -16dB would mean almost 3 (2.67 to be precise?) times softer. With music playing, it drowns out most of the ambient noise, when m waiting for the bus, I can't hear a single vehicle drive by, apart from "feeling" the occasional roar of a truck.

The frequency response of this pair is a little bass heavy, a lil too heavy for the music I listen to (not complaining, the product's doing what it was designed to do. Weird note on in ear headphones that they have too much bass :-p). Just wondering if I shdv spent a "lil" more to buy the IE30s which m told are slightly less bass heavy.

These in ear buds sound pretty decent but I only owned these for 9 months and under normal use (I'm a drummer and used these as my in ear monitor) the cords shorted out. All the documentation claims that the cords are detachable and replaceable but good luck finding them, they aren't made available. Same thing happened to our guitarists pair as well, his didn't even last as long as mine. $100 ear buds should probably last longer than 8 9 months.
