Monoprice Premium Hi-Fi DJ Style Over-the-Ear Pro Headphone With Detachable Cord 8323 $19 AC Plus S/H

I don't find these headphones uncomfortable. If there is anything I can complain about is the sweaty ears you get after wearing these for a while.

Quote from ImaPuppy : Rebranded. They are quite literally the exact same components without the mark-up. I've listened to both, the 8323s are the real deal.

Not to call you out, but listening to both doesn't confirm the "exact same components". Did you open the cans up and compare the drivers? Or are you just repeating what you heard someone else claim?

Quote from Buckeyefan 1 : Shipping is around $6. For $27, these are arguably the best sounding headphones you can buy at this price point. 4.5 to 5 star reviews everywhere. These are a big step up from the Sennheiser HD428's in sound quality. http://www.monoprice.com/products...1&format=2 Head-Fi Reveiws: http://www.head-fi.org/products/m...p-839#wiki Specifications Model Number MEP-839 Driver Unit 50 mm Impedance 40 ohms Sensitivity 100 +/- 3 dB / 1mW (S.P.

OP, you might want to update the price $18.79 after 12% Off Code CATALOG12

Quote from DogAndPony : I need some comfortable ones. This looks good, but they are not comfortable. Too many bad reviews due to comfort level.

I haven't tried the Senn 428's yet because so many have complained about the build quality and super thin cord. But I can verify that the Senn 201s, which are probably not as rich sounding, are very decent, much cheaper and comfy as hell. And I wear glasses,so that's a factor. If you put an alert on here for them, you might find them as cheap as $13 shipped (new, not refurbed).

ive had mine for a month now, love them. i find them comfortable. great deal for ~23$.

im not an audiophile by any means, but it sounds great. way better than the trash earbuds and budget headphones from black friday sales i had before.

Updated, and repped. Nice find.

Quote from ImaPuppy : Have a pair of 8323s and LOVE them. They are literally the same as these kicker hp541s (just debranded): http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-HP54...B002VWJY7U except they are about a quarter of the price. Great deal, I highly recommend these.

I can confirm. You can't tell a difference.

Quote from gbeaguilar : I hear great things about the comfort of the Sennheiser HD428, and the refurbs on ebay are still less than $30.... How bad are these Monoprice in terms of comfort, reviews make them seem pretty uncomfortable. I'd rather not spend extra on modding them. Also I have small ears... if that makes any difference. I will do some research on these two when I get home, just don't have the time right now.

I put these on my son's head when he's playing Minecraft. He's 7 and they fit well, and he doesn't complain. So they'll fit my big head, or his small head. IMO they are only uncomfortable after hours of use. For several songs, or the treadmill/elliptical, they are great. My other 10yr old son prefers the HD428's due to comfort. I had the HD428's for about a year and loved them. When I bought the 8323's and put them on, I kept switching back and forth. Everything opens up. It's just a larger, better driver in the 8323. Bass isn't overdone, but it's much, much better than the HD428's. The highs are also more crisp, but not sibilant. You won't be disappointed in these for $25. Plus it has a detachable cord, which is nice. If the cord on the HD428 breaks, you're out of luck.

Incentive worked for me and I didnt need to sign in. Paid $24.24 after incentive code, tax 43 miles away so just a bit too far to opt for local pick up. Thumbs up and repped.

They're pretty good for the price. Anyone looking for a different set of earpads, these [sweetwater.com] will work. As for headband comfort, I just keep the headphones fully extended at all times. It takes the pressure off the top of my head.

Anyone with a big head have these? I have some Sennheiser HD202's that I can't use because they clamp down on my big head too hard, tried stretching them out with a basketball but that only helps for a couple minutes before they get too tight again.

The picture makes these look like they'd adjust more and clamp down less, can anyone confirm that for me?

Have you tried warming them up first with something like a hair dryer? Seen it done with sunglasses but no idea if it would work for headphones as well. The reason I ask is because I have a big head and never buy these types for fear they will compress too hard like plastic sunglasses do.

I have used Monoprice many times in the past, but I have NEVER seen the Overnite Shipping option from Norco. It is my cheapest option here in CA, but I have never heard of Norco... I think I will bite, hopefully it really is overnight shipping!

I haven't, I should try that out.

They are the exact same. Head over to the head-fi forums if you want proof. Use the search function.
