hi I'm David Carnot executive at for cnet.com and I am here with the project here at one headphones this is a debut headphone from a company that makes affordable and very good turntables so we had high expectations for these headphones they retail for around a hundred and thirty dollars now the only problem is that they have this similar design to a couple of other headphones that retail for less there's an incipio model for instance that can be had for less than thirty five dollars these are a little bit better built in those they do have a little bit of aluminum on the outside and they have a little bit swankier feel to them but they're based on a very similar design now I don't know what's inside the driver's what the components are so it's very hard to tell whether the exact same components they do sound very decent they just don't necessarily have the build quality and the sound quality of a headphone that would cost $130 I did like them and so did Steve Guttenberg who reviewed them they sound very smooth and clear they're also well balanced have decent bass response not as good as something like the ath m50 from Audio Technica that's a little bit pricier headphone a little more full sized so they're a decent sounding headphone not fantastic so the real question here is the value equation if these were priced at closer to $75 we could certainly recommend them but they're harder to recommend at $130 particularly since they don't have any sort of inline remote with microphone and the cord is attached on this so there you have it the project here at one headphone a decent headphone just not the greatest value I'm David Carr no way thanks for watching
