Very good for the price, not the headphones to mix with.
We bought these out of curiosity and very good reviews, to be used as monitoring while recording drums.
Packaging is spartan but adequate. They do look kind of unpolished at the close inspection, but famed Akg headphones look too if you ask me. Once in hand, they feel like they are built decently and designed smart, and will last much longer than the price suggests.
They give decent isolation, but not perfect, definitely workable.
Soundwise I find them surprisingly precise in the midrange, ok in the bass, but harsh in highs so much that I would never use them for any decision making listening. Maybe they will break in a bit, but I don't think they'll lose the harshness altogether.
PROS
- decent build quality
- super price
- nice loose cable
- decent sound in mids, and lower volumes
- decent isolation
- light and not punishing to wear
CONS
- harsh highs
- do not handle loudness well
- tiresome due to the harsh highs / not suitable for long sessions.

Not bad
It isn't bad.. But it's not really that comfortable. I guess it's until you get used to it. The sound is okay, it's good for those people that are starting out, but intermediates and professionals should seek a better one than this.

Not as good, as some say
I bought those headphones, as "field equipment". In cases, where I do not want to risk my prime equipment (Beyers) to be destroyed (crowdy, noisy and partially drunk environment). So...
Good things first.
They sound not bad. This is not great sounding pair of headphones, but for this price, they are not bad at all. They sound "plastic" somehow, but acceptable. You may use them for non-critical monitoring, for vocal monitoring, or - to feed your drummer with noise.
Now, the bad things.
They are noisy! The construction/plastic used, cracks by any movement. very annoying.
They are definitely not comfortable. I have big ears, but no problems with AT or BD headphones. HD-662 F are causing a lot of pain (not my favourite addition to music making).
Reassuming - good headphones on budget, but definitely not as replacement for your Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica or Seennheiser ones.

Matched the price
It's not absolut rubbish. But if I compare these with AKG.... it could be that.
+It isolates from other environment, so you don't actually hear much of the noise and same the others can't hear what you're listening to.
+ Really long wire.
+ It keeps it's shape even after many months of everyday using.
- Sound is quite flat, especially flutes and high strings, basses are weak.
I think this is GOOD choice for DJs, maybe for keyboards, not listeners of good music let alone musicians.
Anyway I didn't return them, I keep using. So it's up to you.

Not what expected
What first I saw was bad it's packaging. The ear pads was pressed in by paper holders so ear pads won't cover perfectly o head. They are not going back to go back to original shape. First impression of comfort wasn't very good. It presses head too hard. Afcourse you can band them over to loose the streinght but it's not how they were desingned I think. The sound quality for closed back headphones is really bad. No low frequency at all. Only ear bitting mid range and unusable amount of high range. The sound is far beyond the reallity. if you are searching something for using in studio, you wont lok at these ones.. Thay are bad for you. overal quality of build is not bad. But that is nothing without great sound. In my oppinion it's not worth to buy these. Better spent a little more for good headphones.

Superlux HD-662 F
Superlux HD-662 F is a cheap and functional headphone, I use this one for musicians when they record. But I would not use it in a mixing situation or for referential work. If you want a more industri standard head phone take a look at som AKG phone or if you want my personal favorite headphones check out Beyerdynamics

Good headphones, especially at the price point
Nice headphones, the sound quality surprised me, they punch above their pricepoint. Low end is slightly lacking, but the mids and treble are not harsh. Great for tracking!

Cheap and good for the money, but the sound quality is not very hifi. The headphones provide a decent isolation (though I haven't tried using them while playing the drums).
