 3 years and going strong | |
| I bought these headphones over 3 years ago, and they are still going strong. I use them in the office only, so they get little abuse (e.g. I don't blast the bass at work, or anything). I have dropped them a number of times, though, and they didn't break. The sound quality is good for listening to CDs, but like I said, I don't blast the bass or anything. Finally, they are extremely comfortable. I wear them for 7+ hours some days and they don't bother me one bit. | |
 Breaks Very Easily | |
| As I was putting it on my head one day it just broke. There's just no excuse for that. I would not recommend them, but if you're going to buy them use them very, very carefully! The sounds is a little too deep and murky, too. | |
| My Pair Broke Too!!! | |
| I gave this pair of headphones a glowing review - good sound, comfortable, etc. However, while my wife was trying to talk to me, I tried to take off the headphones with my one free hand (the other was holding food) - the headphones snapped off on one end.
They are held together by 2 tiny screws into plastic. The plastic can't take the torque and they can snap off easily, especially if you try to take them off with one hand. Opt for a better-designed set of headphones and pass on this. |
