I was in Japan and was looking at headphones to buy. I had a cheap budget of about 4000 yen or circa $40. I bought this headphone because it was on sale for $30 and was very good looking. It was also labled as a bass heavy headphone which attracted me at the time.
At first I did not like this headphone because the bass was too muddy and I could barely hear the highs. However, as I broke in to these headphones, it turned out to be a more neutral headphone. I was surprised at the sound stage because normally on-ear headphones don't have good sound stage compared to over-the-ear headphones. The build quality seems to be good. Even though it is made mainly of plastic, it survived 1 year of rough use.
The two things that I dislike about this headphone is the comfort and the isolation. The pads are fine for shorter use of the headphone but it gets uncomfortable after wearing for 30 minutes (it might be only me because I have elf ears). The isolation could be better. I cannot stand listening to this headphone in a bus because I have to raise the volume high which distorts the sound.
In the future I would plan to do a more sophisticated review of this headphone but I don't have the time right now.
