Pros: great Sound, nice looks
Cons: Feels cheap, only one color option
These Headphone are of a really good audio quality, for some people, they could find the bass weak, for my taste the bass is precise, not like my k271, but the bass is there so the highs accurate, for the price it´s an honest headphone, I paid around  $80 US dollars here in Brazil (price paid in reals R$199,00) .
One of the problem of these cams are the low response to volume, they are loud, but they demand too much volume from the source, it can drain the iPhone battery faster.
 
Overall it´s a nice Sennheiser cam, with a stylish appel and a nice carrying bag, don´t expect too much bass, but nice mid and highs, like all Sennheisers have to have.
nest earphone, I paid in US dollar around $80.

Pros: stylish white and blue adidas theme, comfortable
Cons: feels like cheap plastic, gets yellowish fast, headband texture crumbles fast
First impression: The first time I saw this headphone, I thought they were stylishly beautiful with the Adidas emblem and the white and blue theme. The packaging was really nice.
 
Build: After opening the box, I find the headphone's plastic very cheap. Although, they don't break, it feels they are very hollow. The white plastic on the hinge turns yellowish due to oxidation, while the band maintains its whitish color which looks like a mess. Yellow, white, and blue don't match together. The ear pads which I don't think are replaceable are durable and doesn't peel off. But, the white pads underneath the headband crumbles like rubber and gets this black spots.
 
Sound quality: This headphones have a similar sound signature as the Marshall Major, it lacks bass. But, its mids and highs are very clear. However, I find it to have a piercing sensation when having long listening session.
 
Comfort: This headphone doesn't have any clamp and it has a very breathable ear pads, but I would have liked a little clamp to hold the headphones to your head, or a little wider ear pads.
 
Isolation: Although it's an on-ear headphones, the pads aren't memory foam so it leaks your tunes even at 60 or 70% volume. And, it also doesn't isolate you from outside noise very much.
 
Conclusion: Would I recommend this headphones? absolutely not. It is a nice looking headphone, but it runs out of its mojo when it gets yellowish. Its sound aren't top notch even for its class, unless you are listening to rock and roll all the time. It is quite overpriced for its class. Maybe Sennheiser should sell this one for $30, but yes you have the Adidas logo which is the only thing you paid for.

Pros: Stylish, Very Comfortable, 1 Yr Warranty
Cons: Logo is Fading,
These are extremely comfortable and stylish headphones, perfect for traveling, extended sessions of gaming, or just your everyday commute. Beaware though this is all at the loss of sound quality, its not bad, but its worse then some earbuds that are half the price.
