i've been bashing the labtec headphones they use in my lab without ever really trying them. so i took off my v6s and tried the labtec lt-835 my neighbor was using... MAN! i couldn't get those cans off my head fast enough! i just looked at him and said "i feel so sorry for you" (he just kind of shrugged his shoulders).
for semi-closed cans they have NO isolation. sound actually seems to get trapped and magnified in them.
the build is beyond flimsy, and they aren't even large enough to fit my head (made for microcephalics?).
and the sound.. the sound... (think "the horror... the horror.."), well, no highs, no lows (it must be bose!), & the soundstage was one big blurry smear. the response was so spikey it was like listening to a tin can on a string filled with wet cotton. i was expecting bad but not THIS bad!
well, if the orpheus is the apex of headphones, these labtec cans MUST be the nadir. i guess now we have a low-standard to compare against!
