Califone 3068AV Stereo/Mono Headphones, 3.5 mm Stereo Plug, Black

I have hearing loss in one ear so the individual volume controls are a blessing. Only one potential drawback--if your listening volume is loud enough, the earpieces make an almost complete sound seal. They may also be a little heavier than most so be aware if that is an issue. Otherwise it is an excellent product. It also comes with an adapter to fit different size jacks and the cable is plenty long.

Fantastic quality. Solid headphones. They feel heavy duty. However, I have not had them for a long time.

Four stars because I could make it work. The actual headphones are fantastic. Very comfortable for more than four hours at a time. However, these plug into my metal detector and the main plug goes into the detector fine. But the secondary plug at the end of the headphones that goes into the main plug fits loosely and becomes unplugged easily. To solve this, after plugging the secondary plug into the primary plug, I used electrical tape and wrapped it around both plugs to keep them connected. Only had to do this once and so far, so good it hasn't come unplugged.

I bought these for my son to use for his metal detector. I tested them first as my son has hearing problems associated with hearing loss at birth. I thought at first that the headphones wouldn't even fit as they appear to be tight. You can slide the earpads on each side up/down several inches to adjust to your level of comfort. These are meant to fit SNUGLY against the head but they are still comfortable. They are meant for things like metal detectors and you don't want them falling off every time you bend over or turn. Now, about their intended use, they are perfect for metal detecting BUT they are pretty freaking awesome for listening to music while exercising or just sitting around. The sound is quite good and adjustable from mono to stereo and separate volume control to fine tune your media. I used them with a cell phone , a computer, an MP3 player, and older iPad and iPhone and iPod, a video game player and a new PSP,. AND an Old School PIONEER HOME STEREO because these ALSO COME WITH AN ADAPTER FOR THE BIG JACKS! That was a nice surprise. I haven't had a set of those kind of headphones in a while and it was great to listen to old 8 tracks and cassettes and albums on my old setup from 79 ! So, I finally relinquished the headphones to my son and he loves them. He is a little guy and they fit him well too and he likes that they don't fall off like his regular headphones. He could clearly hear his new metal detector and he used them later on with his Galaxy Tab 4. These are DEFINITELY worth the price and then some. To the people who ask about the being "tight", as I said they ARE adjustable and I am 5'6" woman and my son is 4" 9' small frame, my teen daughter is 5" 7 in and she readjusted them in several positions and even ran in them and they did not budge. They are snug and secure so if that's not what you want then I wouldn't get them. For us the sound and secure fit are well worth more than these cost so these are a STEAL. Less than 9 bucks for the best headphones I've seen at this price? Yeah, we'll be getting a couple more of these.

Head phones sound great for the price.. I use them for monitoring cb radio nand mic testing.. The first pair I purchased camd. With a curly wire.. This pair came with a strait 12 foot wire like the mono/stereo switch use it on mono for testing communication equipment. Stereo for music.. Great sound for. The price

I really wanted to like these headphones. While they aren't top name brand they are light, sound nice, and sat nice on my head. They look good. The individual volume controls are also nice. The problem I had was the depth of the ear cups. They are just too shallow for me. Something i just couldn't deal with. They were returned.

I needed a set of earphones to listen to some communications radios without annoying my wife. Of course, we all have bucket loads of those cheap earbuds laying around these days, but I wanted something better without investing alot. So, I came across these on Amazon. Inexpensive and lots of appealing features like the Mono/Stereo Switch, separate Volume Controls on each cup, comfortable ear pads, and fully adjustable to head size. The audio is good for my purpose because the headset cuts out the the high end hiss. That particular characteristic would not please me if my primary desire was to use these to listen to music which I've tried doing. Lots of bass, but the sound is like having the upper sound frequencies clipped, like having Treble turned up. So, it's a little muffled. You can't complain much for the price. Some people have said they like these to use for their Metal Detectors. Yes, perfectly perfect for something like that, and for music in a pinch. Overall, I'm happy with the earphones for my purpose.

Mine would sometimes only work in one ear and not the other and then just quit all together. Pretty sure there was a loose wire which may have been caused by just wear and tear setting the detector down and picking it back up but I never jerked on the wire or anything. Basically build quality. Isn't that high?.
