Pros: It has quite good base and has a good generic shpae that fits in your ear well. They are copies of the seinheisser mx500's. They even have that written on them.
Cons: The sound quality isnt fantastic, although the bass is fantastic the sound is tinny and not very clear, it is not crisp like some of the other headphones i use
Other Thoughts: arrived with the foam things to go on top. The ipod like headphones on hear have better overall sound quality but not as much bass
Bottomline: Reasonable headphones, good bass but apart from that not great sound, seem quite durable though, they are worth the price!

Pros: Ordered 5 pairs of these. One pair was excellent, 2 had decent sound quality and two pairs is pure cap.
The best pair *may* be same as the Sennheiser MX 500 it claims to be.
Cons: If you get good pair, you're winner. Price is ridiculous. The poorest ones are absolutely no use.
Other Thoughts: Can't help, but leaves me thinking, that DX was doing this purposedly. This is what happened earlier also, when ordered several pairs, only couple of them was ok.
Bottomline: Tey your luck on these. You may get good earphones - or crap.

Pros: Good audio quality, better than unbranded headphones.
Same as bundled with some mp3 players.
Cons: Cord length on the short side, I'm only 5ft10 and it is barely long enough when I have my mp3 player in my pocket.
Don't have much use for volume control, a mono switch might might be more useful. I put sticky tape over it to stop it from accidentally moving.
Other Thoughts: I have a pair of Sennheiser Mx400 earphones that were bundled with a Lexar mp3 player and these have identical sound and cord length (except the Mx500 jack is right angled). I compared these to the photos on the Sennheiser website and they are identical in every detail. Therefore I conclude that these are genuine OEM Sennheiser headphones, not counterfeit at the two reviewers below claim.
Bottomline: A cut above the rest, I just wish the cord was 10cm longer.
copies of MX500

Pros: Decent bass and reasonable sound for the price.
Cons: Irregular length left (much shorter) and right earphone cables.
Other Thoughts: copy of MX500. Different sound charateristics and physical appearance than genuine version.
Bottomline: good deal for the price.
