How is the mic on these headphones?
New User U
on Dec 19, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Don't use it very often, but it works quite well. The Siri problem is interesting. I had the same problem with my iPhone 6 but now that I've switched to an iPhone SE it's gone away. Makes me think this is an iPhone problem, not a a headphone problem.

Does the in-line control let you adjust the volume?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: No, my control did not function. Not certain what the the "push-to-talk switch" refers to, since there is no microphone with this headset.

Are these comfortable to wear with glasses on?
A shopper
on Dec 29, 2016
BEST ANSWER: They are a firm but comfortable fit... especially with large heads. Therefore, if your earpieces (of glasses) are thick or of hard or sharp materials, long listening might cause uncomfortable soreness.

Beware of answers that just say 'standard 3.5 mm'... there are more than one 'standard'. This headphone has a microphone, so it needs / has four wires that go to the plug. The plug is a 3.5 mm TRRS (translation: tip, ring, ring, sleeve). It is the usual plug that fits 3.5 mm jacks on devices that use / need an input from a microphone... such as a cellular phone. A device that is only a 'player', only outputs stereo audio, uses a 3.5 mm TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) plug with only three wires. To use this headphone with a device that has a stereo audio output jack you would need an adapter from your four wire plug (TRRS) to a three wire plug (TRS). No worries... they are readily available. BTW There is also a two wire 3.5 mm plug (TS) that is used on monaural audio connections... you might see one on a (rare) 3.5 mm input jack for a microphone.

Standard 3.5 mm mini jack. If you need to use them with something that has a 1/4 in. phone jack you can get an adapter, it works fine.

Will this fit a toddlers head?
A shopper
on Jul 7, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I think they'd be fine as long as their ear to ear distance is at least 4 inches (which probably includes all toddlers). The "resting" distance between the ear cups is only about 2".

BEST ANSWER: These have a 1/8" male plug. You can buy a matching headphone extension cable with a male connection on one end and a female on the other. It's adequate sound with a 25' cable in my experience. I wouldn't go longer than that, though without a headphone amplifier.

Sure! Order this from Monoprice, 6ft 3.5mm Stereo Plug/Jack M/F Cable, # 648. It's less than $1. You can also get a more premium cable for less than $2. I have used the cheaper one and it works fine.

You could look it up. It's related to the resistance of an electronic circuit to the flow of electricity. It's not really relevant to the quality of the headphones. I have used them for 9 months and found them to be excellent. And that's no bull!

Most Walkman devices had a 3.5"/aux connection so you would be able to connect these headphones to the headphones or audio out port that is on your Walkman.

Good light weight headphones
Good headphones, very comfortable and light weight, with good sound quality. I have been using them daily, for listening to music and online conversations. No issues, though the wire could be longer, but it is OK for me.

Good for Short Time
I purchased a few of these headphones for my wife. She said that they sounded good for the price and were light weight, but did not last very long. After just over 1 year of use, the sound in one ear of two of the headphones did not work. Unfortunately, the warranty is only 1 year so the two headphones were not covered by the warranty at this time.

Great for the Price
They're a bit small, and I have to keep adjusting them because I have big ears and they get uncomfortable. If you have a larger head or bigger ears, I'd steer clear of these. Other than that, sound is good and they seem to be pretty good quality for the price. I was leery, because they were so inexpensive but I'm definitely pleased overall.

Great Sounding Headphones for the Price
These little lightweight over-the-ear headphone produce excellent sound and are very much worth the cost. They do tend to become uncomfortable after an hour or so of wearing them but they do fit snuggly to the ears. Bass is very good while the high's and vocals are slightly cloudy or washed out. Still, for the price they are the perfect "throw-away" or spare set of headphones.
