Awesome Ear-Hook Headphones
I purchased these Jensen Headphones based on two things. #1 The behind the ear comfort, and #2 the 20-20,000Hz rating. Why makers believe that portable headphones should merely have a portable sound is beyond me. These are full-bodied and remain that way regardless of where you use them. They are not (Thankfully) noise cancelling. But, they are extremely comfortable. They also have the added advantage of incorporating an in-line volume control which is the nicest thing, in my opinion, since sliced bread. My iPod is generally in my pocket, so this volume control gets much use, and it's a lot easier to use than the control on the iPod. Anything this good will always be worth 5 stars.

Sounds okay indoors, but tangles easily
I use these headphones primarily for audiobooks. In that capacity, the sound is perfectly adequate if you are indoors. I would not recommend these for outdoor use, or in noisy environments. Sony's "closed ear" design studio monitor headphones work better in those cases. These Sony headphones are also on sale at Amazon, or were at the time of this review.

For music the Jensen's are not spectacular, but are certainly no worse than any other "over the ear" design I have used.

My principal objection is that a section of the headphone wire is coiled, as in an old landline phone cord. To a degree this coiling functions as designed because it does reduce headphone cord pullout, however, when storing these in a pocket or anywhere else the coiled section is almost guaranteed to become very tangled with the non-coiled sections of the headphone's wires. As a result you'll spend about five minutes untangling headphone wires every time you pull these out to be used. Assuming you'd use these for extended periods indoors without removing them, I'd say they are worth buying. In other applications I would find a non-coiled set.
