I was gifted these headphones and loved them straight off the bat – they have good sound quality, decent bass and minimal sound leakage. I also liked the in-cord volume control.
After 6 months of light use (listening to music at the computer) the left side snapped clean in half along the thin piece where you adjust the height of the ear cups. For that reason, I would not buy this brand again – they are not well constructed enough to justify the $70 price tag.
