Sennheiser HD-25-1-II Adidas Originals

At first glance, the Sennheiser HD-25-1-II Adidas Originals Headphones seem like they would be a nice product. This product combines the sporty and classic Adidas style with the great Sennheiser audio quality. These headphones are anything but a nice product.

Let me start off my review by letting you know that they cost $250! The plastic construction make the Adidas Originals look and feel extremely cheap. The build quality is poor. With any adjustments made to the earcups, there is a high chance that the headphones crack. Comfort, or should I say what comfort, is non-existent. After 30 minutes of use, you start to feel discomfort as the earcups pinch the back of your ears. There is one positive with these headphones, sound quality is excellent. However, what good is sound quality if you can't be comfortable while listening to your music? Overall, the number of Sennheiser HD-25-1-II negatives far far outweigh the positives, so they are a poor choice.

iHome iHMP5 Speakers/Headphones

The iHome iHMP5 are the first headphones that I have reviewed that also function as speakers. Why buy headphones and speakers when you could just buy one? While it sounds nice in theory, the execution from iHome is disappointing.

There are a few positives from these....headphones? The earcups are adjustable so you can play music at any angle. iHome has priced the iHMP5's at an extremely affordable price. The speakers run on two AAA batteries inside the left earcup. Unfortunately, there are many drawbacks to the headphones and speakers. Neither the headphones, nor speakers sound good. The headphones aren't comfortable and the durability is another major concern. While the iHome iHMP5's are unique due to the speaker capabilities, they don't succeed in performance, durability or comfort. They are available in 3 colors: Silver, Red & Purple.

SkullCandy Icon All American Rejects Headphones

The SkullCandy All American Rejects headphones are affordable and lightweight but also have many flaws. They aren't that comfortable and don't feel as secure as they should when they are on. The sound quality is also mediocre to say the least and the bass level leaves you wanting more. However, the modest price tag and the standard SkullCandy durability that their products are known for make these headphones a decent buy.

KISS Super Bass LiveNation Headphones

One of the most popular bands in the history of rock music, KISS, has given its fans a way of taking them with them whenever they listen to music. The colorful headphones exemplify the excitement and flashiness that KISS is known for. The band name is inscribed in black on the tip of the headband and in silver on the side of the earcups. While wearing these headphones, everyone will know that you are are a hardcore KISS fan. The headphones can be folded back for easy travel. The sound quality is not very good since these are more of a novelty item than anything. LiveNation are the distributers of these headphones so you can find them on their website. The relatively low price tag make these an affordable option for serious KISS fans who want to relive the good old days every time they listen to music.
