Expert Review

Creative's new HQ-1900 headphones, while slightly expensive for their sound quality, offer a comfortable solution for casual listeners. A simple, classy design and compact format allows for them to be used in a wide variety of situations.

Comfortable ear pads and design, smoothly blended sound

Muffled treble, expensive for average sound quality

Solid Sound

The sound from these is simply... beautiful. As a radio DJ and a nightclub DJ - I need crisp, clear and vibrant sound to create stunning mixes live, in a very noisy environment.

Don't Bother

Newegg was great with shipping time as usual. I guess I should have researched these more. I'm surprised to see so many people happy with them at 30 bucks because I feel cheated at 15. I'm not to upset though , I just gave them to my mom, she likes em,...

Was only 15 bucks with Newegg's awesome Guerilla Deal

Feels very flimsy and cheaply made ; Very uncomfortable. Presses very hard against your head (against my head at least) ; Very poor sound quality. Way too Bass-y

Decent

Decent pair for someone on a budget would recommend!

Very good set of headphones. Good steal for $30

Ear casing is a little small and it uncomfortable for long period of times. Noticed when I first got it that the sound seem to get louder and softer for no apparent reason

Great Buy

I am using the headphones on two older HP d530 workstation that I fixed with the original sound. I loaded some older LPs, most old jazz, and listen on one computer while I work the stock market on the other. Wonderful sound. Very happy with the...

For a special price of about $35, these headphones are great. The clarity is on par with headphones costing over $100

None at this price point

Creative DJ Style Premium Headphones (HQ-1900)

sound is odd before you finish breaking them in

clear sound ; comfortable ; loud ; weigh almost nothing ; cord is long enough for me to be able to spin my chair in a circle and not rip it out of the jack

price. i wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't a shellshocker, but otherwise worth it

Alright

Okay, so this thing takes awhile to burn in, I'd say around 60 hours of use. You won't have any good quality sound for awhile, so I just leave it on for 3 days straight.

Got them from at Shellshocker Deal, $30, can't be beat. Couldn't find any other headphones that could beat this around the price range. Honestly, sounds just as good as $50-$60 headphones. The sound is really crisp and clear for price. (After the burn in)

Like one reviewer stated, they are definitely DJ style headphones, but not DJ style quality. One thing I disliked about this headphone, is the lack of bass like many users stated, I am a bass addict, and this thing sounds "fair" when it comes to bass,...
