" ...  Very glad I bought them and the build quality is very good as well.  ...  "

" ...  They feel really good, the color was bright.  ...  "

" ...  These are nice headphones, very comfortable and good sound. ... The wire is flat and tangle-resistant, there is an in-line microphone with control, they are comfortable, and sound leakage is low enough to wear at a library.  ...  "

" ...  Got these for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas-I like the sturdy cord since her first pair stopped playing on one side, I'm sure the wire had broken inside the cord.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The padding on the band is also a plus since it makes it so the top of my head is cushioned. ... My head is neither large or too small either and these stay on well without slipping off pr moving around the place. ... I also adore the design. ... It looks flattering which is something I also care about when buying large headphones. ... (I wouldn't want to wear anything on my head if it doesn't look nice lol) ... I wouldn't have minded it being wired if the wire was at least on one side instead of on both ear pieces. ... (Sorry, I care a lot about aesthetic lol) ... I assume they're exactly the same look-wise with the only difference that the latter is wireless.  ...  "
