Worked perfectly for about 4 months until the right headphone stopped producing sound. The design of the plug makes the wires naturally prone to shorting after a time of pulling the headphones out of the jack. If I knew the first thing about electronics or soldering I would try to fix it myself. All I can say is that there is a VERY good chance your pair will meet the same fate withing the first 6 months of owning these. The design is just plain flawed.

First off, I was amazed by these headphones- nice fit, good style, decent sound. BUT, for all it's worth, these headphones are crap. After roughly a week of use, the sound to the right speaker simply disappeared. No amount of jiggling the cord would yield any results, and last time I checked the solder on the speaker itself was intact. If you decide to waste $65 on this, be prepared for bitter disappointment.

I bought these about five months ago, and while I agree that the headphones were tight around the head when I first bought them, they loosened up a while ago. I found no problems with the sound - the quality was as expected. However, I've been using them for day to day to and from work portable use - and the cord is simply not built to withstand that kind of use. Recently the right speaker just gave out, and with some fiddling while connected to some music, it is evident that the cord connection to the plug is loose and faulty. As stated earlier, not replaceable. Perhaps these are good for home use, but I don't recommend them if you're using them as you travel around town.

I enjoyed the sound quality, it was clear with distinct bass, ambient sound was remarkably attenuated. Unfortunately I had to return these headphones because they simply could not fit me well. My head is a bit on the large tall side, and even with the headband fully extended the headphones sat too highly on the ears. Since these headphones are pretty tight, needless to say it was not possible for me to wear them comfortably for extended periods of time. All in all, it is a decent product with very good sound, but you will probably like it a great deal better if you have a smaller head and are okay with tight headphones.

These cans' sound is adequate. Not great, not really even remarkable. Just passable. Maybe they give you a little more bass than the standard iPod earbuds, but that's about it. On a more positive note, they do passively cancel noise, by as much as 80%, I'd say. Jet-engine roar dropped to a drone, for example. And as far as I can tell, they don't leak at all. Incidentally, if you wear a 7 3/8 ball cap, these ought to fit you pretty comfortably. Somewhat less so if you're wearing glasses. Another bad thing: Yeah, they're foldable, but they're still bulky. And they don't slide all that easily into their little drawstring travel bag. Still, the bag isn't a bad touch, reducing as it does the unwieldiness of these headphones by at least 50%. All in all, I'd imagine you could do better for $60.
