Packaging, Build, and Fit


The build quality is solid, the buttons on the side, are raised and rock back and forth, easy to use once they are memorized.  The battery life of the headphones was shockingly good.  We were able to listen to music for the 12 hours that they are rated for between charges.  When they died on me during my trip to DC and I didn’t have the 3.5mm charging cable I simply plugged them in via the 3.5mm included cable.  There are markings on the inside of the headband to indicate left and right.  This is my only gripe is that they weren’t easily found, could just be me.  If you remember that the controls sit on your right ear it shouldn’t be an issue.  Screws hold the whole thing together and after 200 hours of use the screws were still as tight as when I first received the phones.  The earpads and headband pad is a faux leather material and is holding up very well.  No wear can be seen on the pads.  The foam of the ear pads is very cushy at first and settles into a flatter shape after some break in. They extend well to fit my melon head and my wife with a much smaller head than mine found the fit comfortable for extended listening.  The clamping force  is adequate and hasn’t been too tight..  They stay put while doing chores around the house and I didn’t worry about them falling off of my head when stooping down to pick up the mop bucket.
