Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These are quite comfortable and the noise cancellation is very good. I even think they sound pretty good generally (though not the best according to my audiophile friends). So good that I use them. A lot. Unfortunately, I am now on my third pair in four years. Like clockwork, after about two years, the cables start to fray at all major connection points (see attached picture). Conveniently after the warranty expires. Not sure if it is bad design or designed obsolescence. They do offer modest discounts on the return, so I appreciate that. But it is a mighty expensive product for it to fail so quickly.
