Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've owned a few pairs of these, so I figured it makes sense that I write a review. The good: I find them to be very comfortable (fine-print: I don't wear glasses) Good sound quality for the money Good ear canal "breathability" (they don't "plug" the ears, as some of the silicon gasket ones do). The bad: I've owned 3 or 4 of these because I've had to replace them about 1-2x per year, and always for the same reason: the rubber "gasket" in between the silver speak outlet and the body of the headphones tends to come off after awhile. Yes, this has happened on EVERY SINGLE pair I've had. However, they are, by far, the most comfortable headphones I've owned (compared with others under $20). In all fairness, to each his own. I prefer comfort (including not having my ear canals "clogged/blocked" by the headphones. In my opinion, these headphones allow for great "breathability" in the ear canal. And the earhooks themselves aren't super stiff - in fact, I find them to have a near-perfect amount of flex - so they should conform to most ears/head for a comfortable fit (they don't press against the head or ears, but aren't so loose to fall out often). The sound quality isn't "top notch", but still good enough to use for most practical purposes. However, on that note, if you have music on loud, it is easier for people near you to hear the music (again, for $10, they're not going to be perfect). These are much more comfortable than any other earhook headphone I've tried (again, in the <$20 range), and that counts for me, even if I have to sacrifice some sound quality and longevity. To each his own. Update: got another pair a few months ago, this time the gasket did not come off, but they just suddenly stopped working today. Might not buy anymore. Update: my newest pair just had the gasket come off again. Still a good product when it's working properly, but considering that every single pair I've owned has had a problem, I can't justify a favorable review, especially considering the price tag (they used to be much cheaper. Now they are $35. WTH?!?!?!). Contacted the seller and they would not provide any sort of compensation. All things considered, I cannot justify a favorable review.
