    Great budget headphones!
    5 Stars
    Great budget headphones!
    Bought these for my 14-year-old son’s birthday. Had to try them out first! Lol wanted to make sure they sounded good. To me them sound just like my JBL speaker. Listened to, “A tribe called red” and my sons favorite band “skillet.” Tight fit on the head but doesn’t seem that it would be uncomfortable. The cushioning around the ears is very soft and flexible but fits tight against the head. I do have to say I see why he likes skillet so much they sounded pretty bad a** in these! Can’t wait for him to jam in these! Music is essential to living!
