What customers say about "Features"
Sony MDR-V55 DJ Stereo Headphones
  • I love the look of these headphones and they have a very useful size adjustment feature.
  • One of the best features of these, is how small they fold up to store them.
  • All the features are great - single flat cord, comfortable, fold-up design and amazing sounds.
  • They are also very stylish, and feature a tangle-free flat cord.
  • These headphones add extra bass, and there is unfortunately no choice as to whether you can turn such a feature like this off.
Shure SRH1840 Professional Open-back Premium Headphones
  • These are open back headphones provides good sound, but you need to use them in a quiet place.
  • The materials are of excellent quality and appropriate to the price, the cap is robust and to the touch with a feeling of solidity and robustness.
  • The headband is inside in flexible metal, completely covered in imitation leather and quite comfortable in the part that rests on the skull.
  • Their standard cable is about bad quality. Don't bother with the stock cable.
  • The soft velvet pads are could be more comfortable, they have some lack of softness.
