Good value when discounted
I got these on sale at 14.99, I also own the Behringer HPS3000, which I got for 19.99(now 18.99). This review will compare the 2, since I'm sure many will look at both at some point. At full price(29.99) the Behringer is cheaper and more comfortable. The comfort factor is probably a matter of perspective, the Behringer has softer cups and has a smaller fitment over the head, so more suitable for smaller heads. The Polson is a snug fit for me at ... Show More

Very good headphones for this price point
Not the best headphones, but these were on sale for $15 apiece and well there is nothing to complain about for this price. Very satisfied.

These work very well
They're comfortable and sound good. They're comparable to some of the more expensive headphones I have.

It hurts the ears after a while
It sounds okay. After 5 months of usage, the foam pads (cushions) got flatter and the inside of the headphone pressed against the ears and made it very uncomfortable.

Excellent Physical and Audio Quality for the Money
We love our Polsen Studio Monitor Headphones and for the money it seems hard to find any complaints. For the purpose of convenient, inexpensive and comfortable headphones with decent sound quality that does not over-emphasize any particular frequencies, these hit the mark. Our pair seem to accurately depict what were hearing in the real-world as compared to ear buds which seem to over-emphasize bass and generally color the audio to impress the li... Show More

They work but sound awful
Bought for $15 on a daily deal, the 1st pair had a bad connector and were exchanged, the 2nd pair are so treble heavy they actually made me lower the volume levels on any device I use them on. There is very little low freq. response. These are not headphones worth $15, but, its too expensive to return them. B&H should not be selling this product. I just lost a lot of faith in B&H.

Amazingly good headphones for the price...great value!
These are very lightweight but not flimsy and seem nicely constructed. They come with a 3.5mm to phono-jack adapter which is a nice touch. The audio from these is very flat but realistic. They dont over-emphasize the bass which may indicate a lower-than-desired bass driver but I personally think theyre portraying an accurate audio rendering. The foam ear surrounds are a nice feel and the foam on the head strap is just right. These dont feel heavy and almost become invisible as well as they fold nicely. Overall, nice feel. Amazing value for the money when on-sale at B&H Photo.

Meh
Picked these up on sale for under 20. They sound like they are 15 dollar headphones. Comfort is okay, you will need EQ. AT 30 bucks, you can do way better.

Excellent value for money.......
First let me say the B&H item price was very good and the shipping was very reasonable. International delivery of 9,000 miles while not the fastest on the planet was well within acceptable limits for Christmas time of year. The phones are well constructed, easily as good as my old Roland studio phones, and deliver a wide range of frequency responses. I find them comfortable to wear and am very satisfied all round with the item quality and level of service from B&H.

Nice for the paid price
Good, it is not High End, but works fine as when you need some gadgets to be used on the field with out to be worry about dust, and other elements.

I love them so far!
I got these earlier today and they sound great. I havent had them long enough to comment on the durability but if these hold up then Im happy with my purchase.

Worked well on airplane; good value.
Wow. For the price this is a good value. I just returned from an overseas flight with this item. After trying the headphones--not ear buds--they provided in "Premium Economy", I then used these. A world of difference. With the airline's headphones and the volume up enough to hear, I could barely understand what the actors in the movie were saying. With the Polsen headphones, I could easily understand them with the volume much lower. They also fold up to take up relatively little space. Go Polsen!--whoever you are! I'd never heard of you.

Good
They sound great. A little small for my ears - they get sore after a while. Wish they had a mic jack. I did not double check, but these were suggested at check out for a mic I was purchasing. My mistake was assuming they would.

Great Monitor headphones, for mixing and small recording.
Great product, have previously ordered. Only thing one did not work properly. Amp pushes good power.

Not Even Average
Terrible sound reproduction. At this price range your expectations are not too high, I get it. But this headphones not even get closer to average. Whether is the high or mid frequencies, the sound lack quality on any type of music you listened. The bass frequency, don't even go there. At this price range you better go with the Tascam TH-MX32. Way Better sound than this. B&H service outstanding.The best.

Bad connection right out of the box
Opened them and plugged them in. Immediate, major static with the slightest move of the cable near the jack. If I held it just right, static went away and I could hear that the sound was overly thin and tinny even for monitors. (And I know what decent monitor headphones should sound like.) So, I knew it was a risk for a Black Friday special. They were so cheap, it was not worth effort to return them. Just tossed them in the garbage and learned my lesson.

Good sound
Good sound for the price point. It works fine if you need a simple set up for monitoring audio, which is what I use these headphones for.

Polsen Hpc-A30 Studio Monitor Headphones.
These phones are sturdy and light. They have a wide natural response and provide good isolation from the ambient sound. The cord is a whopping 9 feet long! It has the 1/8 plug and comes with a 1/4 adapter which I didn't need. No fault on this bargain.

Good sound, but too large.
I use this for work, but also to listen to music when doing more tedious tasks. I like the sound quality and the comfort is pretty good. Unfortunately, they are pretty large without expanding, and so are a bit big. They rest a little too low on my ears.

Solid headphone for studio or field work.
Good headphones and comfortable to wear over long time periods. I needed to replace a worn out set of headphones to use in the studio and the field, very pleased with the HPC-A30 fit and performance. Liked them so much I am going to get some for home.

not too impress
I got them when o bought the Yamaha p-45 kit. I used them for the piano but i can tell the sound is poor so I prefer to use the piano speakers. They are made for big head people, are pretty large.
