Right on par with Sony MDR7506 and Audio Technica ATH-M50
I am seriously shocked. I got these as a demo piece from Limitless Creations. I didn't know what to expect because I thought "oh they look similar to the Sony" or other studio cans, but they are way less money so there is no way they will hold their own. Boy, was I wrong. These are actually more comfortable than the Sony MDR7506 due to the pads being leather instead of the other material Sony has on them.
Pros:
- Straight cable ... I hate the the coiled cable which always gets funky.
- Great balance and sound curve
- Right on par with cans double the price
- No distortion
- Handle tons of power, but still play nicely with portable devices. I used in the studio and they worked fine there and off my iPhone 6.
Cons:
- Cable not removable. I just like this feature.
- No mic on cable
- They didn't send me 2 pairs. ;)
- I would be willing to buy a carrying case

very immersive sound. i listen to a lot of indie rock and classic rock and the sound is really a lot better than i expected for the price. The cable is too long for my needs because i use them at my computer desk.

Excellent sound at the price point. Cups just barely press on my somewhat large ears, but I can still go a few hours of using these comfortably. The closed design keeps outside sounds supressed pretty well and there's no real sund leakage so you can listen loud and not bother those around you. The long cord is nice to have, I wrapped up most of it and tied it with a velcro zip tie so I can stay mobile while I wear them. The screw on 1/4" plug adapter is a nice addition too. Overall great value, would buy again.

found this helpful.Worth my money
I received my HP3BK in the mail today. I'm replacing my Able Planet on-ear noise cancelling headphones that I paid $150 for, for a pair of inexpensive headphones that I can travel with.
I was surprised by the overall quality of these headphones. Although not noise cancelling the earcups fit snug around my ear and the closed back naturally eliminated many exterior noises. My peers around me were unable to hear the music I was listening to as well.
These headphones have a rich flat response that you would expect from a studio monitor. I really enjoyed these with my classic rock and other musical [non-bassy] genres.
The 1/4" adapter allows me to use these with my digital piano. As well the long straight cord allows me to route it out of the way.
I'm extremely happy with these and feel they are a great entry model to real studio sound.

For the money you can't go wrong with these cans and you won't regret it. They are comfortable even after 4 hours of non-stop listening. Its great to have at the office. They sound best when listening to hip/hop/rap/dubstep, ok on rock (drums not tight and a little recessed). I didn't try any other genres yet. They are very efficient I got plenty of volume from my phone. They are not bass heavy but they do have a good amount of bass. Midrange is somewhat recessed. They are a little bright and I noticed some siblance (hisses from "s" & "t" sounds in vocals). They have a medium soundstage which is fine for the types of music I tried. Overall, they sound good.......Actually Great! when you consider the price. Just get em!

found this helpful.Good for the money
I bought these on a sweet deal to get for casual music listening and gaming. They sound great! The bass and mids are boosted a tad and the treble isn't as sharp as other headphones and earbuds I use for mixing and monitoring music, but that's a good thing. These are more casual headphones that make music and games sound great and are easy to listen to for several hours on end.
The main drawback is the comfort. These are pretty tight on me and when I first began wearing them my jaw at the base of my ears would hurt after a couple hours. They've gotten a bit more comfortable, but they still squeeze pretty tight. Even when my ears are still good to go, sometimes I need to take them off just so my skull can breathe.
Overall great headphones, especially for casually listening to music and gaming. When I wear these I can hear everything going on whether it be a cymbal in the background or an enemy's footsteps. Hopefully the comfort will improve as the foam continues softening up.

I bought theses as a back up in my mixing set. They are OK. They are not as loud as I would like and the bass response is weak.

found this helpful.One of the best headphones for the dollar
I've been using these headphones daily for about 2 weeks now and I'm quite impressed with them. They are well balanced and seem to be quite neutral. The vocals and highs are really distinct and clear. The mids are pretty well defined. The lows are accurate and present, but seem to be more "real" (meaning the headphones don't artificially boost the low end). They are a great monitor (which is why I've been using it for my video editing), but also seem to be musical enough that I enjoy them on my iTunes/Spotify.
The build quality is OK, but I wish the headband felt a little more sturdy. It's fine on my head, but off my head it makes the cans feel loose. The ear pads are good enough for me. They aren't incredible, but better than most other headphones

found this helpful.These are Excellent
I got these headphones on sale for $20, and I don't think you can find a better pair at that price point. These are comparable to the Audiotechnica M-50s that I bought a few years ago. They don't sound quite as good as those, but they are similar.
The main problem with them is that the headphone cups are kind of small, and they clamp on my head a bit too tight. That'll probably work itself out as I wear them in more.
As for the sound characteristics..
Bass - the bass is nice in these. they can handle very low frequencies and reproduce them pretty accurately. They aren't quite boomy with bass to the point that it overpowers everything, but ou will definitely notice that it is there.
Mids - I don't feel as though the mids are recessed in these headphones. They can sound a bit on the bright side at times depending on the track.
Highs - the highs are pretty crisp, and it's easy to hear all of the details in the music.
These headphones are definitely a bargain at this price point. The response is relatively flat (which is ideal for studio monitors) and accurate. The build quality is also nice. not top of the line, but also not overly cheap. They don't feel like they'd break with a bit of abuse.
I'm pretty satisfied with them, and I think you would be too.

I'd been searching far & wide for headphones with these specifications, to replace my old Sony's which was stolen.They give deep flat bass & crisp, clean highs. This pair really delivered, I particularly like the wires which are consolidated to one from the left phone. Also came with phono plug adapter, so I can plug it into 1/8 & 1/4, my portable & my home amplifier.

These are a great bang for the buck. I have used them in the studio and they stand up to the punishment of yanking, tripping and general pulling on them without so much as a tear. The sound is awesome for the value, don't get me wrong, that is most important. They perform well and keep on Rockin'

Bought the HP3BK on eBay at a considerable discount. When I began using it, I found that it fit well on my head, was easy to install, and had excellent sound quality. I would absolutely recommend the HP3BK to anyone. One thing I found out quickly, though, is that these headphones do not react well to static electricity.

found this helpful.Headphones,, Thumb Down
I have a recording studio where I've used many different brands of
closed back headphones. After reading the spec's on these I decided to give them a try. Well needless to say they are thrown in a box after about 10 minutes of work. Very Muddy sounding. No High frequencies at all. The $29.00 is about four times too much . I will never buy another.
