| RiPT's Full Review: Aiwa HP-X222 Consumer Headphones |
These headphones are great headphones, however if your an audiophile, don't waste your time. These deliver great quality, along with great comfort for an average person.
These are mostly targeted at the everyday consumer. I personally use them for gaming and they do just fine for that. They are simply the best choice if you don't have these on for 5 hours a day and don't want to spend $200 on a pair of Sennheiser's.
These are not open air headphones so the cancel pretty much all outside sound. Another thing I like about them is the convenient 'Mute' button on them so if someone needs to talk to you all you have to do is press the little button on the ear piece and you are set.
Right now I'm in the process of getting a new set of headphones because music has started growing on me and I am turning into an audiophile and these headphones just don't cut it for me anymore.
I can stand having these things on for about an hour or so, they get kind of annoying after a while though, just because they don't feel that good on your head, most people that don't wear them for as long as I do wouldn't notice that, but the problem is still there.
If you have never been introduced to a high quality pair of Sennheiser of AKG headphones, you will have no idea what your missing. They feel really good at first to a person that's never had a pair of Sennheiser's on, but once you try on your first set of high quality headphones, you will never want to put this pair on again (that's what happened to me).
As for quality, well... Let's just say I am using my 4th pair in 1 year right now. They will break somewhat easily if they experience a little bit of wear and tear, but I can't help it. :(
If you just want these just because you want a nice pair of headphones to listen to music on 30 minutes a day, I say go for it. But if these will be on your head 4 hours a day and your an audiophile, stay away from these, you need to look into things that are more high quality, such as Sennheiser's, Grado's, or AKG's.
