I bought these a while ago when they were on sale for $50.00 which is more than I would normally pay for headphones but I’ve always heard great things about Beats and knew $50.00 was a great deal. Initially I was very impressed. The sound quality is amazing. However within a year, the lining around the earphone part came away from the hardware on both ears and now you can see the foam pieces underneath. And a few months ago the wire that connects to the jack has become frayed and is exposing the wiring within. They still work so I’m still using them but I have to constantly adjust the covering on the earphones. Also, when these shipped, they were not in an Amazon box so anyone walking by would be able to see what they were. About 6 months after I bought these I got the Studio 3 wireless headphones as a gift and I would say if you can afford it go with the wireless instead. Also since these are on ear, if you wear glasses, like I do, it can become uncomfortable after a while.

What happens when you get the $9 special via a drugstore for your audio needs. I put up with that disaster for a while, within a month it was hard to hear music at all. My husband has the high end Sony set and those are the best on the market. I wasn’t going to spend $200-300 on a set that I could lose or get stolen. I wanted top quality sound and next to that, these have the best sound. Classical music isn’t going to sound like a Sony or especially a Bose set but I already mentioned the proce difference. The base is great. The overall sound punch is 8.5/10 out of the box If I am comparing to them to the best of the best. I expect them to break in over the next few weeks and maybe get to a 9. If I am comparing them to th3 POS’s in and around the price range (79.99 for reference) these babies are an 11 out of 10. Same for noise cancelation l, comfort and style. For $79.99 they feel substantial and aren’t overly bulky or awkward looking. I read some of the negative reviews and was worried about quality. But the reality is this is a Bose headset for $80 with nearly top shelf sound, comfort and style. If you want something that will last years, stop lying to yourself and pay several hundred. Very happy! Best part? I don’t have to charge this set and I pocketed hundreds by not getting the $300 pair.

This is the second set because she worn out the first ones. They are great for people in the nursing home.

Perfect for work and the battery life lasts the whole week!

I needed a new set of wired headphones for work. These are better than what I had and they arrived in a day.
