Review: Excellent product. Well made and sturdy. - 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.
Review: Absolutely EXCELLENT headphones for many uses ! - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will these have sound  in both ears if plugged in to a cb radio?**
A: If you have a radio that has a head phone jack yes. The only problem I see is the pressure that these phones place on the ears. It will only allow you to wear them for about an hour at the time.   it should also work in the speaker jack but I think you will only get mono sound.

**Q: does over ear mean headphones surround the ears or perch over the ear?**
A: The padded part of the headset goes onto the ear, it almost covers all of my ear.   More covering of my ears than perching.

**Q: Do these have a microphone built into them**
A: No, it does not have a microphone

**Q: I am looking for headphones for kids 5- 11 years old.**
A: I bought these headphones for my children to use with their chromebooks for remote learning.  My children were ages 7-10 and although the headphone were tight at first they stretched out enough to be comfortable.  I am also planning on purchasing 10 extra pair for my classroom. I will be a teacher in an elementary school next year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't do better for the price
*by H***D on December 5, 2012*

These are like the headphones you used in your high school library with old A/V equipment. Then again, I'm a bit older than some of you youngsters so that might taint my vision of them. However, they are good quality, light, and you can wear them for 30 minutes without getting cauliflower ears. Longer than 30 minutes and they do begin to feel a little annoying where you'd like to take them off for a while. The cord is quite long and does have a coiled section to let you extend it even further. Without the coil stretched I'd say 4 feet, stretch the coil then probably 7 or 8 feet. There is a switch on the left ear to switch from stereo to mono and there is a volume adjustment dial on each earpiece as well. The leather/foam ear coverings are quite comfortable, but the inner piece is just the raw/hard plastic - would have been better with a foam/cloth covering. Bottom line - good quality, great price. At the same time I purchased these, I also purchased the cheap/similar Hamilton Electronics SchoolMate Deluxe Stere/Mono Headphone with 1/8 inches Plug and 1/4 inches Adapter, Volume . The Califone set is much better in all respects except the Hamilton does have foam inside the earpieces covering the plastic inner piece.
