Great sound for not much money but they won't last
These headphones sound better than some expensive alternatives which is impressive. I like the way they latch onto the ear so I can put one on during work and still hear all the background work chatter or put both on and drown it out without messing up my hair, so aces for that.
However they don't last. I have had 3 pairs and each of them has failed. First pair I ordered Dec 2013 which worked for about a year and then I bought a second pair in Oct 2014 which worked bot about a year when I then purchased my third pair in July 2015 and they just now (July 2016) stopped worked.
In every single case one of the ear pieces stopped putting out sound while the other got very quiet. I was convinced that the reason the first two stopped working was because I just tossed them in a bag and maybe the cable got pinched a little too hard by a book or my laptop or something so with the 3rd pair I got a tupperware case and I put the headphones in it religiously before putting them in my bag and yet here we are a year later and they still failed.
They sound great but they just aren't robust.
