Customers say

Customers like the sturdiness, performance, stability, and comfort of the headphones. For example, they mention it’s well-made, works as expected, and doesn’t slip around. Some appreciate the dampened feel and the weighted keys. That said, opinions are mixed on sound quality.

Title: Good, comfortable headphones
Review: Very light and comfortable headphones. They have a long cable with an adaptor screwd onto the end so they can be used with larger sockets such as hi-fi systems, amplifiers etc. The adaptor can be unscrewed, and there is a smaller socket underneath to fit portable devices, phones etc. The sound from these is very good and not overly bass heavy. I have used these with various music players, guitar amplifiers & hi-fi systems & they work well with them all & produce a good sound. Build quality is good & there is plenty of adjustment on the headband, so should fit most people.

Title: Seems good value for money
Review: Quite sturdy and well made, Good stability. No problems with Gear4music electronic SDP piano. Recommended.Scoove free trial a waste of time so did not bother with. The App’ only works with Apple / Android devices. Much too small screens for comfortable learning. Conclussion: waste of time, wanted it to work on my computer.

Title: Great value, solid weight, weak mechanism that distracts and spoils the playing experience.
Review: Firstly the positives. Great value for money. Has a solid weight to it and the plastics feel good quality for the price. It also is quite grippy so stays in place on the floor as you play and is stable. The pedal weight is good and offers good resistance. Amazon customer service and return was completely painless on the first purchase, and a replacement was sent out next day. So very happy with the service and purchasing experience.The deal-breaker for me is the pedal mechanism. The up/down is smooth, however there is a lot of horizontal pedal movement that causes a clicking/knocking noise and feel when you play. Please see attached video. I returned the first order for a replacement and both were identical, so presume it is by design. Some internal cushioning material could resolve this, but hearing and feeling it as you play is an unacceptable distraction. Has a kind of “this is going to fail in time” feel to it.One other weakness is that there is no partial/variable sustain control; it’s either full on or off so won’t suit a player who needs to vary the amount of sustain with their foot.On balance though, there is no denying that it is good value for money if you are looking for a basic, cheap and cheerful sustain pedal and don’t mind the distracting clicking, and also are happy to not have partial sustain capabilities.

Title: Great value
Review: Product is sturdy, weighty and feels like a piano pedal should. Works perfectly with my Yamaha 125. Similar Yamaha pedal would have cost me around 5 times the cost of this product. No trainers.

Title: Very smooth and quiet
Review: I bought a (slightly) cheaper pedal a while ago that, whilst it worked as a sustain pedal, it made a very loud click when letting the pedal up which was very distracting on quiet piano parts. It was also noisy when pressing the pedal down.This pedal however is perfect! super smooth and silent – no clicks or other noises at all – as a pedal should be. The price wasn’t much more than the cheap ones so save your money and get this one. I cannot comment yet on durability but it feels very sturdy and well made and as I don’t think there is much in it to go wrong I expect it to last a long time. I have other M-Audio products which have been fine.Recommended

Review: I really liked the quality you get for the price of these headphones. I would say that these can compete with headphones that are twice in price. The build quality is good, cups the ears well and does a great job blocking out noise, only draw back is that they don’t breath very well. Sound quality is decent.
