What happened to the men who heard the sirens sing?

Are sirens good singers?
The Sirens call was so beautiful that any who heard it were immediately enchanted and would do whatever it took to reach the island from which they sang. Boats would be dashed on the rocks, men battered to death by the surf, and those that survived would starve on the shores, refusing to leave. According to one myth, the Sirens were granted immortality only until such time as men could pas by their call without stopping. Odysseus, curious as to how such a call could drive men mad, and at the advice of Circe, had his men plug their ears with wax while he was tied to the mast of his ship. As they passed by, he begged to be freed, but his men only tied him tighter. Once they had passed, Odysseus was freed only when he proved he could frown. After this, the Sirens cast themselves into the sea. Another story tells that Hera challenged the Sirens into a singing contest against the Muses. When they lost, the muses plucked the feathers from their wings to make crowns. The Sirens, in despair, then flung their now-flightless forms off of cliffs to perish in the surf.
