@mehdaf Amazon has the same model for $7 more if you prefer them.
Got a slightly older model in red 2 years ago and love them. Would recommend the 50's to anyone who is looking for a nice pair of head phones for ~$100. Can wear them for hours without feeling like I need to take them off.
Why am I tempted to buy these even though I bought the amazing ones with Bluetooth from the same brand from this same site at the end of March? Should I, guys? Do these have any significant advantages compared to those?
I think Meh has turned me into a House of Marley fanboy...
@xerdkwa Yup. I was tempted to get another $20 2-fer but didn't want to throw good money after bad. There wasn't enough surface area to glue it and the break was very pointy and sharp...
@xerdkwa my boomswaps lasted a week. i went for the 2-fer. i'm afraid to try on the other pair until i get some warranty relief from polk. I ordered this pair of headphones as i have another pair of marleys that are great.
These look verrrrry similar to some "Polaroid" headphones I got on sale at Macy's at X-Mas for $10. That quasi-rectangular/rubber part that connects the metal "bars" of the headphones to the headpiece does not swivel. After wearing them for awhile they will hurt your ears. The headphones need to swivel to be comfortable.
@cfg83 I basically stick with Sennheisers and Sonys, so I don't know these. But "Polaroid" is a cheap zombie brand name slapped on some real turd products. If these are the same headphones, I'd steer clear.
@cfg83 Ok, I have to retract. The speakers press against my ears and only hurt if I am wearing my reading glasses. If I wear the glasses "lightly over the ears" then it doesn't hurt. Meh-uh-culpa.
@El_Oel .... Oh shit I said to much. I haven't said anything at all. I thought that I heard u laughing. I thought that I heard u saying, I'm losing my religion
Why do the mist headphones bill themselves as "earth-friendly" while the aqua ones don't? Look at the front of the boxes. Is there some difference in the construction of the two?
looking at all the reviews out there on other sites - can you beat these for $10-$14 - heck no, mon! you'd be trippin' to find better sound quality at this price! so get up, stand up and buy a pair. you definitely can buy a lot worse pair for $10!!
Just got my tracking number. Seriously? These guys are 35 minutes away and it's going to take 4 days. If I had known that, I would of offered to go pick them up. lol
Just got an email as well about sending a second pair. I am out of the country and didn't even get to see the first pair yet. How amazing is that customer service and for them to be aware of the issue before I am A+++ There are only 2 companies I consider myself a fan of. Meh is close to becoming my 3rd.
I am in headphone withdrawal, because my over-ear Sonys have gone missing. They're $100+, and I've been loathe to replace them (because, y'know, $100+). I bought these on a lark.
They're NICE! I won't tell you they're on par with a $100+ pair of over-ears, but they're probably the nicest on-ear set I've seen, and I've always liked my Meh-808s. These have a metal body, are comfy, and sound very very good. I'm not saying these will completely replace my desire to find a replacement over-ear set, but they will keep me from buying them until I see a nice set on sale. And that's the highest compliment you can give for a meh purchase, right?
They're very nice. And I get a second pair coming, too! And I think these look just as nice as the colors I bought! insert happy dance here
I got the Aqua (white) ones, and they're pretty damn good for $10. The pattern on the band doesn't bother me, they're pretty comfortable for on-ears, and they sound quite nice. Good bass response (10Hz is muddy but starts sounding clear at 20-25), tops out around 18-19kHz. For the price, I'm happy.

Will it play purple Rain?
@yakkoTDI Will it get ruined in purple rain?
@yakkoTDI too soon... too soon.
@connorbush My apologies.
I hear these are Meh... Because of their lack of Bluetooth.
$4 more for a different color?
@jmoor783 No, it's $4 LESS for a different color!!
@jmoor783 Fugly at its finest!
Don't know what to say
@mcemanuel
I guess they are better than those flat bamboo pillows
Another headphone deal - get ahead of the game and get one - or two or three or none ---
I haz too menie headfonez.
@connorbush Rule of Meh: You can never haz too menie headfonez. Or speakerz. Or bluetoofs.
@heartny rope lights??
Are these on-ear? It looks like they are.
@RandyWalker Amazon write up states on-ear
@kathyl thanks and booooo
@RandyWalker What's wrong with on ear?
@kathyl guess I'll not be getting it then.
@Dizavid they hurt my ears
@RandyWalker Oh, I get it. They go on your ears but don't fully cover them like the previous Marley headphones?
@Dizavid I prefer over the ear or around the ear as well.
@Dizavid oh, I don't know about previous ones; just looking for an inexpensive over-ear (circumaural) headphones.
I'm confused here...I'm trying to buy these headphones, but in the check-out page I'm not seeing the 'orcs vs. goblins' color way???
Aqua velvet man !! Aw well... "Meh" be not!

I like that it's made from recyled/recyclable/sustainable materials, but I think I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on some ATH-M30x's.
@cercopithecoid nope, do this instead...

If you don't like the open box groupon deal, they can be had as low as $99 new from time to time...

What is with House of Marley and hard to clean fabric parts on headphones?
@LettuceEatCake I plan on using some Scotchgard on them.
@LettuceEatCake Wash you hair and hands more often and you won't have to worry about that.
@LettuceEatCake When Bob Marley died they found 21 different species of lice in his hair. I really don't think they care about being clean.
Too... uh... Marley? for me.
Any thoughts on sound quality vs. the 808's from a few months back? How about wrt durability?
@ciabelle luvs me 808s.
Why am I tempted to buy these even though I bought the amazing ones with Bluetooth from the same brand from this same site at the end of March? Should I, guys? Do these have any significant advantages compared to those?
I think Meh has turned me into a House of Marley fanboy...
Ordered a pair to replace the pair of Boom Swaps that I got from meh 3 months ago which just broke.
@xerdkwa Mine lasted 3 days...
@ahobart81 Did your headband snap?
@xerdkwa Yup. I was tempted to get another $20 2-fer but didn't want to throw good money after bad. There wasn't enough surface area to glue it and the break was very pointy and sharp...
@xerdkwa Mine are so damned tight my jaw hurts after wearing them for any length of time. Really wished I order the $50 pair.
@xerdkwa my boomswaps lasted a week. i went for the 2-fer. i'm afraid to try on the other pair until i get some warranty relief from polk. I ordered this pair of headphones as i have another pair of marleys that are great.
@clark3rd
My boomswaps died on 1 ear upon 2nd or 3rd use. Not gonna bother w warranty. Im usually ok w Polk but not this time.
aqua tactless-meaningless-nerve
Y'know what...? Why not. navigable-real-artichoke
Where's all the pictures....you know...box, colors, baby arm, etc..?
@sparkyfarad On the front page. No baby arms detected.
@therealjrn Looks more Navajo than..."The Aqua ones have this vaguely Afro-Jamaican print on the outside, so they're cheaper"
@sparkyfarad Huh. Well, now that you mention it...I think you're right.
These don't fold, do they? Can't tell for certain since I'm on my phone, but I'm assuming not.
@randomadjective I don't believe they fold. At least not intentionally. :)
@kathyl Darn. The buttons would be nice, but I'd need to be able to travel with them. :/
Weren't these supposed to be Wednesday's item? Or did you guys just /now/ realize they were?
These look verrrrry similar to some "Polaroid" headphones I got on sale at Macy's at X-Mas for $10.

With these I guess I won't be obligated to repletedly listen to woodpeckers
CHEAP HEADPHONES, MY ONLY WEAKNESS
The damages for this ameliorative waste are only $4. Should at least be $4.50.
Really like the larger Marley's I got last month. Girlfriend is digging these so soon we'll both be jammin'.
Meh - I needed some.
unreal-roomy-rain
U had me at Marley. That's my dogs name. My cats name is Ziggy. Most all of my passwords have something to do with bob Marley. This man was a legend
@paulmangers I can't wait to use your Netflix account, mon.
@El_Oel .... Oh shit I said to much. I haven't said anything at all. I thought that I heard u laughing. I thought that I heard u saying, I'm losing my religion
@paulmangers
It's ok. My cousin's ocean-worthy sailboat has a kinda Marley name. Not gonna say it. He deserves his anonimity.

Reader, i married these.
[I always wanted to say that sentence.]
Well ok, no, i just bought some. But after they get here, who knows?
Just got my tracking number. Seriously? These guys are 35 minutes away and it's going to take 4 days. If I had known that, I would of offered to go pick them up. lol
@doombuddha Says right up top there, 'Estimated Delivery: 5/2 - 5/4'
@brhfl Not really a complaint against Meh. I've had my fair share of issues with Fedex. I just was shocked out how close it was.
Got an email that I'm getting an extra pair because of a shipping screwup. God, I love this site.
Me also. ....now, how to dispose of the first set...
@Kingfish28 Whatever you choose, film it, make it Michael Bay big, and share it with us.
Just got an email as well about sending a second pair. I am out of the country and didn't even get to see the first pair yet. How amazing is that customer service and for them to be aware of the issue before I am A+++ There are only 2 companies I consider myself a fan of. Meh is close to becoming my 3rd.
Mine came in today.
I am in headphone withdrawal, because my over-ear Sonys have gone missing. They're $100+, and I've been loathe to replace them (because, y'know, $100+). I bought these on a lark.
They're NICE! I won't tell you they're on par with a $100+ pair of over-ears, but they're probably the nicest on-ear set I've seen, and I've always liked my Meh-808s. These have a metal body, are comfy, and sound very very good. I'm not saying these will completely replace my desire to find a replacement over-ear set, but they will keep me from buying them until I see a nice set on sale.

@wishlish
I got v nice Sony's from Amazon Warehouse. Decent price. Sound excellent.
I received the wrong color - I ordered the white ones but got the black ones... I'm hoping support gets back to me soon.
@rman support can take a day or 2 to reply. However, they're humans and will work to take care of the issue as best they can.
@Thumperchick they just got back to me and are sending me a new pair! Now I have to find a hydraulic press for the pair they already sent.
I got the Aqua (white) ones, and they're pretty damn good for $10. The pattern on the band doesn't bother me, they're pretty comfortable for on-ears, and they sound quite nice. Good bass response (10Hz is muddy but starts sounding clear at 20-25), tops out around 18-19kHz. For the price, I'm happy.
I can't seem to find a mention that the white ones have no mic or button. But that is the case. The cheaper ones have that feature. Whatever.
Ugly af, but I wear them with pride because they sound good to me. And it’s all about me. Me. Me. Me. MEH.
Sick ass headphones!
Sweeeeeeet!!!
