" ... When listening to music, it is crisp and clear from the bass frequencies all the way to the treble. ... "

They are perfect for my use and tend to last about two to three years (each pair) with daily use from a couple hours a day on up to 12- and even 16-hour days (don't love those!). ... These have actually come down in price over the years. ... These would likely last many more years for most people but, with me, they get a LOT of use in that time period. ...
