" ... They do sound better than the infamous poor quality "Beats" (I've repaired a couple of them for my friends, and the build quality is horrendous, cheap abs plastic, very low-grade aluminum, etc). ... I would keep these indoors by the computer, these kinds of things tend to not be "durable." ... "
" ... They're about half the weight of the MDRZX100, and have a decent cloth-covered foam padding on the head piece. ... Durability: 4/5 (maybe pushing 5/5?) ... As far as longevity, I'm still on my first pair after a year, even after moderate use and a LOT of physical abuse (jostling during running, tossed on the floor, yanked off my head). ... For perspective, I've had this pair so long that the screws are actually rusted from sweat, while the electronic components still work like new! ... "

" ... This is the second pair of these headphones I bought (one for me and one for da wife) - bought them primarily to use on airlines (tired of those tiny little ear-pokers they hand out that are so uncomfortable and never work properly) - these are GREAT for that purpose - and especially for the price (I wouldn't want to spend more just for airline travel - rather save the money for a brewsky or two when I land!) ... "
