Loud without distortion
If you are looking for a pair of headphones that can play loud without distortion, this is a very good choice.
I am and audio engineer, I wouldn't use them for mixing or mastering (perhaps just to check a mix afterwards), the sound is too "midrangy" and to my ears not very pristine for making mixing decisions.
That being said, I checked the technical specifications of this headphones and they are comparable with the legendary SONY MDR7506 (which I also own). I compare them just to be sure that the loudness would be comparable with a professional pair of headphones, and I have to say they are equally loud.
Since they are rather affordable, they are made entirely of plastic which of course doesn't look fancy nor sturdy. However, they are quite comfortable I must say.
The cable is quite long, comparable in length with the classic Sennheiser HD 202.
Anyways, if you are looking for a pair of headphones to listen to music, to connect to a keyboard or an e-drumset that are fairly loud with no distortion this is your choice.

Pleasantly Surprised
It's got great clarity but I find the low end is quite lacking, my headphone amp has eq so not a problem
Bought as cheap tracking headphones for band scenarios as I don't have the budget for higher end headphones when 8 pairs are needed
Combined with a headphone amp these can get loud enough for drummers, I swapped with the drummer (as we were just jamming with the mics set up to test it) and the volume nearly took my head off, still no distortion
How long they'll last I don't know but it's cheap enough to just buy another pair, it'd be nice if they had a detachable cable but at this price what's the point

the t.bone HD 880
the t.bone HD 880 is a cheap option for studio headphones. Price is only around 25€ but the quality is way better than you could think of getting in this price range. Of course you could get better headphones with bigger stack of gold , but for this price they are good! t.bone HD 880 comes with 3m cord which gives you movability. The sound is clear and sharp. The overall quality is good for normal studio work. If you want cheap option for good studio headphones, I would recommend these. I've been using these for a year now and they work great! Highly recommended!

They are great!
These are quality!
very worth it, great for mixing/production purposes.
a little tight on the head, maybe it might change in the future as they get softer.

Not the best sound, but super comfy
I bought these to use for work, and for long periods of time. I have various studio headphones that I use for monitoring, but they can start to hurt after a few hours of use, whereas these don't, which is why I bought them...
Very light, still seem solidly built, they ain't flat though. Heavier on the bass, but they're nice enough to listen on anyways.

Great value for the money
For the price I don't think there is much out there that can beat these. I used them for silent practice on guitar and they work great. The have a surprisingly good bass response.
One downside is that they feel a bit "cheap". The weakest point is the cord. I've had several of these and they never last more than a year before the cord breaks internally.
These have a great price/sound ratio and I would definitely recommend these but be aware of the poor quality of the cord.

Not the best in sound quality but worth to have as back-up
The headphones came with a bundle for a Millenium e-drum set. The sound is not top quality but they do the trick. Also, be careful with headphone cable, I stepped on it and now the headphones are having sound problems in one channel. The price is very good.

Usage
Good headphones for it's price. Sound quality is very good. Maybe they can be more comfortable because using these for a long time, ears are a little bit tired of using them. But overall good product.

Very comfortable, hardwearing, ideal for tracking on location
May not be the most accurate-sounding headphones ever made (you'd generally want open-backed for total accuracy anyway), but when compared with my Sennheiser EH2700s they rate closer than the price tag might suggest. One thing that strikes you about the HD880s is how superbly comfortable they are - in this regard they're actually slightly superior to the Sennheisers for my money; no problem having these on for a long session.
For the price you could do much worse than a handful of pairs for budget band recording, the sound isolation is pretty good and while not awe-inspring sound quality is more than good enough for tracking and overdubbing. I wouldn't want to use them for any kind of critical mixing, but for general project studio duties (and for more everyday stuff like gym and jogging) you could do a lot worse.

Still going after 8 years
I bought these headphones 8 years ago, and bar a few rips and tears on the earpieces, they're still going. Sound is okay with them, bit low end heavy, but certainly okay for casual listening
