Value For Money : Excellent
Helmet use for about three weeks, with a view computer music / listening on PCs, purchased for its superior bandwidth for Sennheiser in the same range, the 5-meter cable, adapter mini / jack, gold connectors, and reputation overall good price / quality ratio of Technics (anyway, I say, for € 30, I will not much either).

Pros:
- All the above points.
- Very light.
- Very comfortable (a good little foam around that allows you to wear it for long without realizing it, and a setting head nickel, which is good).
- The finish is good, reasonably solid (... in terms of plastics used) + cables have already supported such passages of my wheel chair and the cat that bites a speed.
- High headroom bass / midrange.

The average points (?)
- Pretty poor soundproofing against outside noise, but benefit if you need to hear outside ...
- Aesthetics classic.
- Plastic way but lighter.
- Low sound ... heavy, but rather smoothly, even if they eventually saturate some hearing.
- Treble clear enough, lacking just a little fishing.
- Quality hi-fi medium. Indeed, if there is a very sensitive, the frequency responses are true type, with an expression of light / medium / low differentiated, as if slices were cut with different colors, which is sometimes quite nice on productions pop. The flip side is that some effects and harmonics, sometimes seem as out of another source, a movement towards the more serious will increase or if "call" a little separately ... Finally, a light coat for the "thrill", so, with subtle vibrations at times a bit strange (er) es. Warning: it&#39;s not bad, very very far from the catalytic (a sign almost any background instrumentals are even identified separately by my girlfriend), but not in the high-fi system, therefore, this which is normal after all considering the price. Still, it&#39;s still flat.
- It is like it: sometimes it all seems slightly out of Metallization sec (for differences mid / high).

Cons:
- Soundproofing out.
- Where quality is a default: the dynamics can be very, very hard on the bass and midrange while still including them all a little (like big compression "natural" abruptly decompensated). The result of this lack of linearity is used initially to hack my little productions, even if small cocoons panauriculaires this headphone protect my ears though external on the inside, however, this headphone has been a gradual good move in my eardrums, but than I realizes it at first, especially the media (and therefore not advisable to test the effects in Live for example, they can sometimes really a slap on the synth Frequency Hearing! It&#39;s a bit my fault, but it still slams the guy).

Apparently it&#39;s a matter of taste, but I do (therefore) not completely sound reproduction. The definition, although quite detailed and extensive, is rather flat and paradoxically to be typed. A cut too "vertically" in frequency response amplitude sometimes lack "large" and roundness, as soon as one uses instrumental intricacies and dynamics of the treble, which does not always excellent continuity of all: that of render correctly, it seems difficult at this headphone make room listening skills if not pre-cut bases (which may, however, very well suited to the registry techno / pop ) ... and précompressées!

I use it now in my home studio config second headphone, or of the tow truck "when he needs it to an outlet, despite its flaws soundproofing (we cope as we can). Otherwise, uh ... way therefore, and not at all suited if you want to listen to music subtle and / or classical. Anyway, as we always say: "value" ... !

Note: Edit the 30/05/2005 - Adding a point and changes to the text, because in this range, after (re) tried a few others since, it&#39;s still not bad at all.

Note: Edit the 03/03/06 - Well now that I have ben my Beyer DT770 to replace my old Philips (a good thing too, but typed-date) has passed away, I understand more what I meant by "flat" when it falls in the range of headphones from RP-F295 Technics: a missing dimension to virtually everything. Remains that price / quality is pretty good. After &#39;is not raving either: it&#39;s not a headphone to 10/10! (+ Really can not be relied on to mix in anything ...)
