Limitless Creations HP3BK + LBTS2W

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

nice headphones

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.

Great budget cans

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.

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.

Bang/Buck

This a fantastic product for the money and great entry level pair for audiophiles.

Nice gift

I gave these as a gift to my son and he likes them. Thank you for shipping in time for Christmas

Awesome

I was escquptical about this but I start using it its really good speaker great sound and bass for a little speaker.

All about the Benjamins $

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!

Cool little speakers

These speakers were bundled together with a pair of headphones that I purchased. They are easy to use and put out a decent amount of sound. I personally don't love bluetooth speakers though and I ended up selling them to a friend.

For being bluetooth speakers they do sound pretty good. If you are a sound snob like me(I'm not quite an audiophile but aspiring to be...once I can afford it) you probably won't like these very much and would rather deal with wires and higher sound quality.

Excellent

These are great, I only got them because they were bundled with an Audio-Technica product as a black friday deal but they sure make for an improvement over laptop speakers! My family actually uses it more than I do. I like the design: shock resistant, battery status, and just enough buttons to do anything I want with it. It can be made very loud too, if need be. Painfully loud even, if that's your thing. At least, for indoor use, I haven't tried it outside.

My only con is that since my family and I almost always use it on auxiliary rather than bluetooth and the speakers always default to bluetooth when turned on, it is a nuisance to have to switch it over to auxiliary every time we use it. I wish it switched to auxiliary automatically when I have my laptop or tablet plugged it, or at least use a switch or remember my setting from last time.
Not that pressing two buttons instead of just one is exactly hard work. :) Power button -> Mode button -> Done. But it would be a nice touch.

Oh, and the status LEDs are awfully bright. I imagine this is great for outdoor use but with it being winter and all I'm sure not going to be outside much. But these points are more nitpicking than anything. I wont even knock a star for it.
