S500 Black Gaming Headphones (EG04-04E012-01)

These are horrible and after a small amount of use, the black coating from the part that goes around my head flakes off all the time and I always have these black "leather" like flakes all in my hair and all over everything. It gets so annoying not to mention embarrassing since i can't even wear them out of the house now.

I bought these headphones (not from Amazon) and they were defective with sound playing in only one ear. I tried to contact Everglide several times by email (good luck finding a phone number for them...) and got no response. In fact, the email address for warranty issues they have online doesn't even work and gets a bounce message from Mailer-Daemon! I've written several times to all the other contact emails listed and never gotten any response from the company regarding the defective headphones.The headphones may or may not be good -- I don't judge them by the fact that I happened to get a defective pair -- but one thing is for sure: their customer service is terrible. To me, that enough of a reason to stay away.EDIT: After several weeks and probably at least a dozen emails, I finally got a response! They are sending me a new pair of replacement headphones and gave me a pre-paid shipping label to return the defective pair to them. I don't seem to be able to change my star rating anymore, but this has improved my opinion of Everglide a great deal. Still, it really shouldn't have taken so long nor required quite so much persistence on my part. I'd bump my rating to 3 stars if I could...

Having some experience with a variety of headphones (everything from the lousy stock ipod earbuds to my Sennheiser hd580's), I can honestly say that in my opinion, these have a decent sound, gaming or otherwise. As with many gaming headphones, the bass takes center stage with these. Mids and highs can occasionally seem a bit 'covered' sound-wise, but rap and rock has a good, powerful punch. My few experiences gaming with them were also positive.Looking at the physical product, one major asset is the light weight. The visually bulky size belies a comfortable, light headphone. Finally, Everglide included a microphone in the package (which I have yet to test). It seems unnecessary, but considering the low overall price (I found these for around $25) it is a welcome inclusion, as is the included headphone bag.One major complaint I have with them is their styling. Yes, these aren't headphones you'd take around with you to the gym, but the logo looks ugly and is unnecessarily large on the sides, as do two small wires on each side right above the earpiece. Similarly, the construction of the headphone seems on the cheaper side (although I have yet to experience a problem). My one other major qualm with these is that they do not isolate all that well, despite being closed headphones, anything above moderate volume can be heard by those around you.Summarizing this up: I'd overall rate these 3.5 stars. If you don't care too much about styling, and want a bass-heavy full-sized headphone that doesn't isolate all that well, these have decent sound.

I listen to music all day long at work with these headphones. These tune me out from the rest of my environment and provide excellent sound. Also the cord is very long, which allows me to walk around my cubicle without having to take them off. Cheap, good quality/performance, comfortable, good looking... I couldn't be happier. If I had one criticism, it would be that they are a bit large. But the size helps keep unwanted sounds out... so I don't really see it as an issue really.= P Can't have EVERYTHING. = PAlso, I should add that I own about 6 pairs of headphones, more expensive and less expensive... these are my favorite by far.

I have owned 2 sets of these headphones, along with various other brands including a pair with noise reduction, and I must say that these are the best headphones I've ever used. I'm sure better headphones exists, but for the price (not necessarily the price on amazon) these headphones can't be beat.Since they cover the entire ear, light sounds will be cut off without much music volume at all. louder ambient sound will require only a little bit more music volume to negate. The headphones are also quite comfortable to wear, so you can put them on and work away. My first set of headphones wore out in about 3 years (a "friend" wore them for hours and hours for weeks at a time and by the end while they were still usable, I just couldn't wear them anymore, so I bought a new set).The worst problem is probably the cord, as it's not very flexible (but it is very strudy). I haven't really had any other issues and I expect this set to last for another 5 years or longer.Would highly recommend. (typical use for me: music via my laptop. Has worked well in a Zune, an iphone, and a DS.)

I got a one of these through WOOT and I have to admit that despite their comfort and excellent sound when plugged into an iPod or other audio device, these are not good computer headphones, which is what they're marketed as. When I used these with my PC there was a noticeable buzz from the cooling fan present that was unaffected by the system volume settings, even with the fans set at their slowest rpm, the buzz was there, though at a lower pitch. As I paid half as much through WOOT I'm only slightly upset, if I had paid full price I would have return them. Looks like they're relegated to be my "yard-work' headphone.
