The Pros:Crystal clear sound compared to other phones in it's price segment. Snug fitting, with adjustable temple pads. Price to sound quality ratio is simply phenomenal. Compared to some high end headphones, this pair of unique phones is a definitely a decent contender.
The Cons:Open design lets all outside sound through - poor for listening in loud environments. Snags hair. Band can pinch your neck hairs if you wear them around your neck.
