Only buy these if the following are your guidelines:
1. You don't really care much about sound quality. -- The sound you get from these headphones, while better than a good amount of closed headphones for $20, is still mediocre. There is a lot of pushment on the lower-mids tones and the highs and detail are very recessed, resulting in a very veiled and boomy sound. Good for DJs or when hi-fi is not necessary.
2. You will be beating them up a lot. -- These seem durable.
3. Isolation ain't too important. -- Despite listing as closed headphones, isolation is oddly terrible.
4. Sensitivity/volume needs to be good. (i.e. these do well for portable players) -- Senstivity and impendance scale well.
5. They need to look good.
6. Long cord is important. -- 2 meters long.
7. They need to be very cheap. -- You can find these in the $10-$20 bracket.
They do okay for TV headphones or if you need a desperate back-up, but the Sennheiser eH150 and the Philips HP460 are better opinions for little more money. But I will say these aren't terrible for $20 closed cans and far too many people give them too bad of a rep, and because of bass impact represent great value for club DJs.
