First of all, the software wouldn't run on one of our computers, which was frustrating. I am not sure why, since it's running XP. I installed it on a different computer and it ran fine.

It's definitely NOT user friendly. It DOES work, but it's not fun to figure out how. It's not exactly difficult, but it's just not so much fun. It's kind of drudge work. Still, it works just as it says it will.

The Lyric creator that it comes with is pretty easy to use, but you have to enter lyrics line by line (like the other reviewer said), so it takes some time and I'm not sure you'll want to enter more than a song or two at a time. But, it is a nice piece of software and it is definitely easier if you find the lyrics online and then just copy and paste (and correct where needed) rather than typing it yourself.

When it comes time to USE the iSing, you just turn it on and run it in karaoke mode. Press the voice button to remove most of the vocals, use the included microphone and sing away (although, if you have a better one, you might have more fun). The voice button is a great feature but if you have layers of vocals on your tracks, it won't remove all of them. This is good if they are background vocals, but it's less desirable if there is another track of lead vocals. This track will still be heard. Also, it seems as if the machine removes some of the instrumental track, too. Not much, but I think it's noticeable a bit.

We haven't tried record mode since we still need to get a SD card. I can see this would be easy to use, though. There is a record mode, so you would record on the card and you'd upload it to your computer and save the file as an mp3 (which you could then burn).

So, this product is first generation. And, I'm not sure it will be popular enough to cause the company to improve it for a second time. But, it's a pretty good product. I bought it for my 15 year old (an aspiring vocalist/songwriter). She loves to sing, but was put off by this system. I spent this morning figuring it out and putting a few songs on it, creating lyrics, etc., and trying it out. It IS a great thing, but the prep work required to use it as it's designed is NOT fun. It's not difficult, just not amazingly user friendly and not fun.

Using it, though, IS fun. It comes with clear instructions, a usb cable, microphone, line in and out audio cable and earbuds. If you plug it in to a speaker system (with the included audio cable) rather than the earbuds, you can have a great time taking turns and singing with others.

"Not user-friendly" is an understatement. I had to return it because I couldn't figure out how to transfer the music onto the thing. The lyric creator won't work and, overall, I'd say that anyone who buys this toy in the hopes that it'll be a decent handheld kareoke machine, is in for a not-so-pleasant surprise. Unless you're a computer geek, don't buy this product because you'll just be wasting your time and money.

I wish I read these reviews before I bought the i-sing. What a disappointment. Although it does work fine as a mp3 player, we bought it mostly because it shows the lyrics to the songs. Well, it doesn't tell you anywhere on the package that you have to type in all the lyrics yourself! What a pain. Although I finally got the software loaded, it did not load easily and did not place an icon on my desktop so I had to go searching to create the shortcut myself. Yes, it works as a mp3 player, but that's about all that works. We were also disappointed to discover that we needed to buy a memory card for the thing. Overall, I just wish we never bought it.

I must agree with the large number of reviews that the instruction manuals are horrible. It's really too bad because once you get it to work, this is such a fun product and it allows you the flexibility to karaoke to the songs that *you* love.

Pros:

Once you struggle through the installation and Lyric creation process, it is *so* much fun

You can use it not only for karaoke, but for creative educational uses such as foreign language practice (especially since it records!)

Cons:

-Instruction manuals need to be completely rewritten, preferably by someone who's native language is English.

-The instruction manual needs to be updated with accurate links. Here's one that works:

-The website needs to be completely redone and ALL the links need to be updated.

-The i-Sing software needs to be renamed as the "PC driver" so it is clear to anyone using a MAC that they do not need to install this because it's specifically needed only on a PC. Also, it should state that MAC users do not require this driver. The unit connects to a MAC without any driver installation!

-The Lyric Creator software doesn't always name the file as required by the program (it must exactly match the *.mp3 file name) so it should specify in the instructions you may need to rename the file (due to character restrictions). I had to do this 75% of the time!!! This was my primary issue in getting this to work.

I also had similar experience that longer songs (>~5min) had the lyrics cut off even though I entered them all in and they were all in the *.lrc file.

Suggestions for Users:

Download the most current version of the Lyric Creator software from the website

and click "Downloads"

Search for lyrics online so you don't have to manually type them (just cut and paste)

Use a mic and hook it up to your stereo receiver to really get the full Karaoke experience

Expect to spend ~10 min per song to copy/paste lyrics line-by-line

To edit lyrics, open the *.lrc file using "open with" the Lyric Creator software, then add the music file

Suggestions to the company:

-Re-write each of the instruction manuals

-Create a website or file share for the *.lrc files

or create website where people who don't want to struggle through the creation of the *.lrc file can just buy it

The software should be updated to save the file with the *exact* same name as the MP3 file (required to get the lyrics to work)

The manual is useless, the user interface is terrible, and the sound quality on recordings is unbelievably bad. To top it off, as others have said, all lyrics have to be typed in manually. Ours went back to the local store for a refund. Don't waste your time playing with this thing. It's junk!

This is one of the highest quality Male-Male cables of this type that I have seen. If you want a great product for transferring your sound, this might be what you are looking for. I also love the length of if being 25ft. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

This is probably the sturdiest, thickest "auxiliary" (3.5mm stereo TRS) cable available at this price.

It has large connectors, so that can be a downside if you are trying to connect it to, say, a phone with a case on it, or an iPod. However, with a 25 foot cable, you are likely going to be stepping on it, tripping over it, setting things on top of it, etc., and this cord seems more than capable of standing up to that sort of abuse.

First off let me say I own the Shure 440 and 840, I am not fond of either of them. I find their sound to be too powerful and harsh, especially their bass. People claim it to be accurate, but how can this be if nearly everyone agrees the Bass on them both is just incredibly powerful and too harsh at times. Thankfully, Shure listened to its buyers and made the SRH750DJ. Out of the box they sound okay, nothing special. However after 50 hours of burn in, everything improved drastically. Like the difference between night and day. This set is geared for listening to music, where as the 440 and 840 are really not meant for that, they are monitors, meant to pick out subtle abnormalities in music track editing, like static and pops and such. The 750DJ is purely geared for musical experience, even though the box says they are monitors, too. Sure they can be used as that, as any headphone set can, but they are a total 180 degree turn from the 840.

They come with extra ear pads, which i am sorry to say right out of the box are incredibly uncomfortable. They are stiff and hard, but after some usage and clamping them onto a box or something for a day or two, they break in and become very comfortable. I was incredibly worried about the circular design of the earcups not fitting my ears. By the looks of things, the cups seemed pretty small in comparison to the 840 and 440...they are smaller, but totally circular but still fully over my ears. The downside to this is that my ears have a fraction of an inch clearance, almost no space left, my ears just fit. They are DJ headphones anyway, really meant to be slung down on your neck and have 1 earcup pressed up against your ear. So I suppose it wasnt meant to support average sized peoples heads and fully cover their ears...either that or i am a freak and my ears are huge, which they dont appear to be.

The 750s are comparable to the Denon D1001. The sound is similar, just bigger and more powerful all around, with MUCH more bass. And I mean it...much more. Enough to melt your face off if you wanted and had the right EQ. The bass is nothing like the 440 or 840, not even remotely. Its clean and beautiful and not at all harsh even on heavy bass tracks. They can handle high outputs of power, but remain easily driven by my sansa fuze without a problem. Doesnt sound as nice through my sansa as it does amped of course, but still, i am incredibly impressed with their ability to sound that nice and powerful via an mp3 player with no amp at all. The 440 and 840 fail miserably with no amp. The 750dj pass with flying colors. The Denons are more comfortable without question. But in the near future I expect the 750djs to become superior after sufficient burn in and usage. My denon D1001 and Shure 440/840 are no good for acoustic jazz or classical. Their soundstage is pretty awful for those genres of music. However, the 750DJs can power through nearly every type of genre i toss at it and still sound just awesome. This is something anyone with the above models in their inventory will recognize immediately. "Whoa, they sound great with my Superman the Movie soundtrack!!!" AWESOME! While the soundstage is just not as broad as the 840, is improved on the 440 and flat out KO'ed the Denon d1001. Thats not even fair to compare.

What bothers me is this fetish with stock cables and the bayonet locker. Like the 440 and 840, the cable is unique and twist-locks into place for security. I made a mistake in buying a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mini to mini 3 foot cable of my own to use instead of its stock coiled cable. Turns out its a requires a 2.5mm, not a standard mini. Back to radio shack i suppose, bothersome but understandable.

The headband is likely going to be modded very soon. It offers almost no support at all, and has s strange texture on the fabric. I've a buzz cut hairstyle and it kind of grinds on my head, and its really annoying. The clamp factor is pretty good, meaning they dont vice grip your head like some other headphones...coughcough 440/840,es7coughcough...They are somewhat heavy, but not the heaviest ive used.

The sound isolation is pretty good, id say 40% reduction. They tend to get hot, after all they are full sized over the ears and closed backs...you cannot avoid this.

Overall they are a fantastic buy. HIGHLY recommended if you want to buy via Shure. In my humbled opinion, the Shure 750DJ are an overall better choice for the budget of $100-150. The Denon D1001 was king of closed backs for around $100-150, now hail the new king SRH750dj!!! live long, and prosper!

If my experience is any indicator, this model should be recalled.

The plastic is weaker than that of a child's toy.

It cracked in FOUR places during the first three weeks of normal use.

Korean warranty was no help, so I've appealed to the US SHURE Office for assistance,

since I bought it from an official reseller.

Will update with response.

Best sounding phones I've ever owned.

UPDATE: Free Warranty Service fixed the headband and I BELIEVE replaced the problematic plastic with something stronger. Not confirmed. They feel stronger.

Ask for free replacement if they break under normal conditions like mine did.

The Shure 750DJ headphones are the top model in Shure's line targetting toward professional DJ use....that is, people that make their bucks spinning music that you want to dance to at your next party.

Disclaimer: I am not a DJ, so I won't try to speak for the professionals. I did buy this headphone just to try out because I already gave an excellent review for their monitor series SRH840 model and I was wanted to see how this differs from that offering. This headphone is meant for DJ use, and I did talk to a couple of people who have done some DJ'ing and offered me some perspectives on what they look out for:

Ability to withstand the rigors of use. These headphones are a tool, so it has to be durable, withstanding some accidental abuse, and is easily transportable to the venue. These headphones do look sturdy enough, there are no parts that will snap easily, the replaceable cable uses a bayonet locking mechanism and is detachable. The headband can be manhandled and bent and it doesn't lose its shape easily. The headphone comes with extra ear cushions, and there is a vinyl bag that keeps everything together. The headphone folds into a compact shape, swinging upward into the headband area.

Fit. These headphones clamp onto your headphone nice and securely, especially for one sided listening (you have swung the other earpiece off one ear to monitor). However, for regular listening, I found that on my size 7 3/4 head, even at maximum extension, they are borderline too small for my head, the earcup arms need more extension range. For extended listening, my head did feel a bit irritated due pretty tight clamping force. Grade = Bbecause they are a bit too tight on my big head.

Sound isolation. These are good in that they block up to 30dB of sound in the treble range, and around 15dB in the midrange. They don't filter anything below 200Hz. Grade = A-

Sound quality: These are definitely tailored toward DJ use as they have an noticeable emphasis in the bass. Their measurements show that the bass response is rock solid down into subwoofer territory of below even 20Hz. Response in the bass region of 20-200 Hz show that the response is elevated at least 10dB compared to the rest of the spectrum. So it's all about the bass here. The bass quality is quite decent, no obvious resonances, and because of the elevated response, bass is clear and omnipresent at all times, which is important in any loud venue. For general listening, the bass did seem to drown out the vocals significantly. In the upper ranges, treble is well controlled and almost a bit too laid back, there is a slight dullness to the shimmering of cymbals. The whole frequency spectrum is represented well enough, and except for the obvious bass centric sound, everything is basically there. Grade B+ for DJ use. For a general use music headphone other than pop or dance music, I suggest you look at the Shure SRH840

Build quality These headphones look great in pictures and from far away, they look like serious equipment, but they are pretty much all plastic and the metallic looking bits are just silver paint molded plastics. The joints and overall structure does creak a lot as you handle them. All in all, don't expect build quality that exceeds the price. Grade = B-

So all in all, these headphones do live up to their billing as DJ use tools. I think most people are better off with other more balanced headphones if you don't earn a living spinning vinyl.

Let me just say, these headphones sound GREAT. Before these, I owned a pair of Bose Triport over-the-ear style headphones, and while the improvement is not worth ditching your old pair (except in my case: the Bose ones finally died after 3 years), there IS some added bass, which is great. Also loved is the detachable cord, and the swiveling ear cups.

The reason these don't get 5 stars is because the build quality and comfort just isn't all that. After about 50-60 hours of use, I can say that these are not as comfortable as the Bose, due to a much stiffer foam in the ear pads. Also, it is entirely made of plastic, which sometimes creaks when the headphones shift on your head. But my biggest complaint of all would be that the plastic on the adjustable piece on the sides cracked the first week! Nothing some super glue couldn't fix, but it's not something that bodes well for my experience with them down the road.

Overall, I wish I would have spent a bit more money and purchased some headphones with a better build quality. Luckily, the only category I'm not disappointed with is the sound quality, which I would say is the most important.

These headphones broke in three months of casual use. The cheap plastic in the adjuster piece cracked and rendered the headphones useless. I'm going to have to deal with manufacture to get a replacement. Also the foam ear pieces fall off easily.

I work in a performing arts center where we use 24 wireless microphone systems primarily for theatrical productions by high school, middle school and community theatre groups. I expect to mic actors for 38 rehearsals and 54 performances this year. Although we have $300 microphones for " talking heads" applications, there's no way I'm risking a $300 AT or Countryman earset mic on a student. Quite a few mics fail with various kinds of damage over the course of a year, so I am always on the lookout for an unobtrusive and inexpensive mic. I'm hoping I've found one in the Pyle-Pro PMHMS20 Wired Headset Boom Mini XLR Omni-Directional Microphone.

I initially purchased two of the Pyle PMHMS20 headset models and have since purchased another along with the Pyle-Pro PMEMS10 In Ear Mini XLR Omni-Directional Microphone (For Shure System) "earset" style mic. These "mini XLR" models are terminated with a TA4F connector required by Shure wireless belt pack transmitters. They also fit the Line 6 XD-V70L wireless belt packs.

So far, I've only used the first two headsets in a community theatre production of three rehearsals and four performances. They performed better than expected and sound quality was excellent. They sound better than the MM Audio MM-PSM earset and at least as good, if not better, than a well-placed Shure WL-93. They are not a sonic match for the Audio Technica Microset Omni Condenser Headworn Microphone in Beige or Countryman E6, but they currently cost roughly 1/15th of the AT price listed on Amazon. I didn't measure the cable length, but it is adequate to reach just beyond waist level for typical adults. It will take some time to determine long-term durability, so I'll update this review after I've had time for evaluation.

These headsets offer some size adjustment, but I don't believe they can be adequately adjusted for children. Even when adjusted to the smallest size, they were still a bit loose on a petite actress and had to be secured with a small strip of medical tape. The boom is very long, so a fair amount of bending may be required for smaller faces. Even with the mic element right at the corner of the mouth, I did not pick up pops or breath sounds. They do come with two foam wind screens, if needed.

The most recent PMHMS20 headset I ordered arrived last week. When I opened the Amazon box, I immediately noticed I received the PMHM2 model with a 3.5mm plug, rather than the TA4F "mini XLR". I checked the packing slip to see that I had in fact ordered the "mini' XLR" version. I then checked the headset packaging, which was incorrectly labeled as the PMHMS20, but contained the PMHM2 version with a 3.5mm connector. I don't consider Amazon to be at fault, since the problem obviously originated with the manufacturer. I don't expect to have any trouble with Amazon exchanging this for the correct model.

One other note; the product package (not Amazon) states that the mic is available in both beige and black. Unable to find a black model on Amazon or anywhere else, I called Pyle Pro. They confirmed that the package was mislabeled and no black model is available.

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

June 2012 Update I've just ordered seven more of these mics when I found the price had dropped closer to what I originally paid.

I continue to be pleased with the sound quality and have been surprised at how well they've held up. So far, I've used them 30-40 times on seven theatrical productions and a half-dozen "talking heads" programs. Most of the plays were musicals, including a dance-heavy production of "Hairspray". I broke the wiring inside one of the earset versions attempting to re-sculpt it for a better fit, but I've only had two minor problems with the headset version reviewed here, and those don't affect function. The clear plastic sheath covering the metal earpiece got stretched out on one mic and the end cap covering the tip of the earpiece was lost from another; again, nothing that harms function. I've had no problems with cables breaking or connector issues (on this headset version).

Continued use has proven that these work best on large heads. No amount of adjustment will provide a stable fit on a petite actress or child.

I've only had one instance where I had to use a foam windscreen to tame pops.

I still wish these were also available in black and/or brown for African-American skin tones.

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

March 2013 Update I now have 24 of these and am in the middle of another season of high school & community theatre musicals. Since my last update, these have been used in about 72 rehearsals or performances and I'll have another 25 rehearsals/performances between now & the end of April. To date, I've had three Pyle-Pro PMHMS20 Wired Headset Boom Mini XLR Omni-Directional Microphone "break" & all three have the same cable issue. The cable has a clip that attaches it to the back of the headband very near where the cable enters the headband structure. The band slides to lengthen or shorten the boom and fit head size. The problem occurs because the cable clip does not slide on its own during adjustment & that leads to pinching and excessive stress on the cable between the clip and entrance to the headband (I'll post a photo). The result is an audible "thump" as the internal wiring makes or breaks contact, along with momentary loss of audio. It usually happens as the actor turns his head or the mic cable gets a tug. It is not something I would consider end-user repairable. It can be avoided by always taking care to adjust the clip as you adjust the headband, but that often doesn't happen during the chaos preceding a production, especially if you have a large cast and even more especially if they are responsible to placing and adjusting the mic themselves.

Given the use and abuse they endure versus the cost, I absolutely consider this problem and the number of mics I've lost due to it, perfectly within acceptable limits. Most of these productions involve the mic being on someone's head for four to five hours from beginning to end, so I'm talking about several hundred hours of total use for some of these mics, just in the last year. If you are buying a couple for the pastor to use a couple of hours a week and you take care to adjust the cable clip, you should get plenty of use before replacement is necessary.

Pyle offers a one-year warranty that covers the usual "manufacturers defects". I've not looked into it, but plan to see if this problem might be covered. I''ll post the outcome when I get an answer.

I am still very happy with the audio quality for speech and singing. I do minor EQ on them, but I generally EQ most other mics I use too; probably more a factor of room acoustics or speakers than the microphones.

I will comment on pricing. The price of this mic varies as much as the stock market. I've watched it range from just over $11 to nearly $29 in the last year. Compared to similar mics, it is a great value at even the high price range. If you think it's too much, check back often, because it will fluctuate. All my stock was purchased when prices ranged between $14 & $19 (and with free Prime two-day shipping), so I'm thrilled to get this type product for this price.

I'll be back with another update at the end of April.

I didn't want to spend $170 (or more) for the "better" head-worn microphones, but I figured I could spend $14.99 (sale price) to see if the mic was any good. Although the photo shows two different mics, this is the one that goes over both ears and the cord plugs into your belt pack transmitter. We've had this mic for about six months. Our church pastor uses it and the sound is just as good as our Shure lavalier mic was. Also, the volume is more consistent, since the mic pick-up moves as the pastor moves his head. On the lavalier mic, as the pastor moved his head, he was changing the angle towards the mic, so the volume kept changing. We LIKE this mic! They work great and we can buy SEVEN of these mics for the price of just one of the more expensive ones! Some of our other local churches tried our mic; they liked using it so much that they bought this mic, too! I don't know how good it is for singing or for a band but, for church (and speaking), it's perfect!

Update: 2012-12-21

Our first one of these mics just died after one of our pastors bent the wire too far. However, this mic worked perfectly for over one full year. Pretty good stamina for weekly use and only costing $15! Our pastors preach at six other churches so, when I ordered TWO of these headset mics for our church (one replacement & one spare), they had me order TWO more mics for one of the other churches that has the same Shure system that we do. By the way, one of our pastors has nicknamed this our 'Madonna' mic (after the singer, Madonna). Even after our first mic died, I STILL highly recommend these headset mics. How can you beat a year's-worth of service, with NO problems, for only $15!

I purchased this thinking well if it doesn't work well I haven't put out much money. The church had just bought me one from another place and spent 200 on it, so I spent my own money on this one. This is the only one I use at all! The more expensive one sits on a shelf in my office and this one gets used weekly. I just purchased another one for a friend of mine. These are great products and I haven't found a better price.

Product plain doesn't work. Tried with my iphone/iPad apps and it not only sounds awful but you also pick up various radio stations (I was simultaneously singing lady gaga on my glee app while listening to a mets game, and not intentionally). The mic gain doesn't work either (it you turn up the gain you make noises humans should never make, and I'm not talking about Mariah Carey).

Only saving grace is the shielded 3.5mm stereo in jack attached to mic chord which let's you plug the mic in your idevice and then plug in headphones or speakers to monitor the horrible sounds you will be making in real time when using the mic.

Was also hoping to use with my pc and playstation, neither of which worked.

My advice is go with a line in-line-out splitter instead. I don't know if such a product exists but guessing it must since this product is just a bad mic with a built in 3.5mm stereo in jack

First thing I tried was a phone call because, well, I needed to make one when I was opening the package. Great clarity for phone calls. Sound blocking, so I had to get used to talking with them on (I'm special like that, took like 30 sec).

On to the music, these headphones are so loud! At my lowest volume level they are perfect for casual listening. For the more epic songs, I only have to go halfway. Seriously, at full volume they become a mini boom box (maybe don't try this when they are on your head). I like the full sound that has mastered spatial sound layering, exposing me to effects and nuances I had not previously noticed in some of my favorite songs. It literally is like hearing songs again for the first time. That said, while the bass is somewhat pronounced, it is not necessarily deep enough nor always upfront enough for me. I go for soul shaking.

As for general comfort notes, these are great for even large heads because the adjustments are very forgiving and the ear pieces cover my big ears completely. They are most comfortable in that they lock the sound in without making your ears feel trapped, easier to listen to for long periods of time than other brands. They are just so soft, think ear marshmallows. And the band material doesn't mess up my hair. Yes, that is important.

Stylistically, I like the subtle look of black for myself, but my roommate looks super cute in her white ones. So, you found me out, I was introduced to these through my roommate. I'm just not trendy enough to come across these gems on my own.

Enjoy zoning out in comfort!

The JLAB Intro headphones are the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned! They are so light weight and they don't squeeze my head. Every set I've ever owned gives me a headache minutes after wearing them...I can wear these for hours! They even fold up nicely for travel. They have amazing sound! I normally get the cords twisted up on headphones, but these really don't tangle, they actually do what they say and stay tangle free. Great price too!

Just picked up these headphones from JLab and they go above and beyond what I expected! Sound is excellent, clear, and holds a great beat for all genres of music. Super comfortable, adjustable, and compact, NOT bulky or irritating like other headphones I've used in the past that are bigger than just buds. Planning to use these when I need to spend hours studying, and really looking forward to using them for traveling across country. Another fantastic product JLab!

These are Klipsch's latest and greatest. Therefore, i was expecting the sound to be innovative and fantastic. I've been a Klipsch fan for years, but these just didn't quite live up to their $150 price tag.

BUILD: I was very impressed with the build quality. They have a very high end look and feel, as expected of Klipsch. The buds themselves are made of a brushed aluminum, making them very light, and sturdy at the same time. The cable has a rubberized feel to it, love that. The remote isn't shiny and polished as it appears in the picture on amazon. Its plastic and rubberized just like the cable (I like it). The connector plug is long and straight, making it easy to get into a big case on a phone if necessary.

SOUND: As for the sound, this is where these got just three stars in my book. I burned them in for 20 hours before making any judgment. Even amped and EQ'd, they sound very washed out. The bass is laid back (wanted by some i suppose.) the entire spectrum is VERY balanced. The mids are definitely the most present, if I had to choose which was the most forward. The highs are there, but just overpowered but mids, giving them a very warm and unfortunately slightly washed out sound.

I'll be returning them to amazon.
