Are these a good choice for listening to music at home? I work from home, and I need music to concentrate.

Truth be told -- you dont even need something this nice for that. I am a professional voieover artist and need these for when I am in the booth recording. You need earbuds, not closed-back professional grade headphones. BUT, if you want them -- to answer your question... "HELL YEAH they're good for listening to music at home!" Remember, they're closed back, professional grade, so you will literally tune everythign else out if you've got 'em on.

I bought mine primarily to use with my drum set - but since then I've been using to listen to Spotify on my PC too and they sound freaking fantastic! Way better than any of the PC Gaming headphones (Logitech) that I have... These are industry standard audio monitors, I don't think you'll find a better performing, more affordable set.

I use them exclusively at home. Since they completely seal off your ears, they reduce extrernal noise, but not as well as noise cancelling headphones.

These would be excellent for listening at home. The problem is they are closed back phones so they will get hot. The good news is they block external sound. They are comfortable and sound really good but you will eventually want them off your head. You may want to search for earphones that are advertised as the most comfortable - rather than these which are advertised as good quality.

I purchased mine a while ago and I mostly use it for my iPod and my laptop, for movies and online streaming of shows. I think the sound resolution is great. The bass is not overpowering, and the sound is rich. The ear-pads sit well on your ears and are not painful, so you don't end up with something compressing your head. In addition, what I mostly like about these headphones is that once you put them on, it diminishes outside noise. Even better. So to answer your question, then yes: this product is great for listening to music at home. Plus it comes with its own bag. Bonus:)I hope this review was helpful.

thx - open headphones do sound good, but since they are for a teenager to use in the house, leaky music may not be too desirable. :0(

depends on the genre. I mostly listen to hiphop and R&B; and not at home (on the subway or when walking outdoors) so these factors definitely affect the sound, but remember I tried them once at home and they did not show much details. I got them on sale for $60 and seriously they're not worth more.

Well, probably. They sound really good, I use them for DJ ing and they are pretty clear, so unless your hearing is totally shot; They sound better than your tv speakers probably.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

They would be perfect for that, they produce a warm, live sound that is great for vocals, whether spoken or sung. The long cord length makes fitting them into your setup far less of a hassle than a majority of headphones. They are also very comfortable for long periods of time, I forget I'm wearing them half of the time.

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,

Well I'm no professional on music. And I'm not to picky. i like them. I think you'll like then. Especially for the price. But not sure. Bass and music seem to be good for me at least.

I think these headphones are good for anything. Use them with an iPhone myself, and I'm sure the iPad has a stouter amplifier than what my phone has in it.

For home they might be too big unless you have a spacious room. These will fit a pop-rock band application. but you'll need subs to compliment them.

At this point I have used them only for listening through my CPU and volume has not been an issue. Reasonably comfortable for long periods. I hope to get to the big stereo soon, but have to rearrange the furniture first:)

I know they are very good for music from the computer...I do that alot....however the rest I have no idea about, because all I do is play them in my Sony car stereo. I guess if you try I would say the probability is good. Best of luck.

It will certainly help. With music playing through them I would surmise that you will not be able to hear them at all. I should say though that the are a bit heavy and bulky for an office environment.

At this price point, I think that they sound great. Bass is pretty good considering the size, for example I use mine in my home office, and they provide good even sound throughout the small space. Would not recommend for a large room, but they are pretty flat eq wise. Perfect for listening to podcasts and such, but definitely not something that's going to blow you away as far as volume is concerned.

yes man! as a producer i recommend these headphones. ofcourse you still want to do mixdowns in a proper studio but for on the fly mixing, producing and djing they are AWESOME!!!!! i'm using them as we speak

I use them at work and I have a very loud, annoying co-worker that they help me tune out. They aren't noise cancelling per day but they do work really well.
