These are great. If you don't care about quality in sound or build.
I've had 2 pairs of these over the past 2 years. the first pair was replaced on warranty for the extenders for the ear cups coming off. The pair I'm stuck with for at least another week and a half have been taped together with electrical tape for the past 8 months. they break within just a few weeks.
The sound quality is ok if you're just looking for something to blast. the line between being able to hear what you're listening to clearly and having it melt your ears from being too loud is extremely thin. As a bass player, I like to listen to bass-heavy rock music. You can't do that too well with these. It sounds muddy, dull, and clicks from the drivers hitting the casing.
The earpads and headband, while very comfortable after a few days of wear, start to flake after a few weeks. The material on the earpads began chipping away almost immediately, and you can feel the plastic through the headband after about 3 months. If you decide to wear them around your neck when they aren't in use, the earpads rotate and at least partially disconnect. And they are a SERIOUS hassle to put back on every day.
Also, the cord in only about 18 inches long if you accidentally lose or break the extender, and then your Iphone or Zune or whatever you use won't get to your pocket, even if it's a hoodie with pockets 8 inches higher than your jean pockets.One last complaint that I have is that at the point where the speakers join up with the headpiece, the hinge tends to grab at even short hair.
So, in short, whilesome of the features are great, overall, they aren't worth it. Buy yourself a nice Sony or Audio-technica for the same price,
