Overall, I'm really pleased with these headphones. There were on-sale for around 25 canadian dollars, and I understand the price has gone up since then. But what I will say is, these are pretty good! Sound quality is around average to above average. With a good mix, baselines jump out, drums can pop pretty nicely. But a lot of mixes make drums sound a big trebly and it's not the headphones.
Comfort-wise they felt a bit mid-tier but I got used to them and I sometimes forget that I'm wearing headphones and I'll have the music off and just not take them off for quite some time. It's not that they're insanely comfortable, but when they're broken in they do sort of fade to the background of my sensations. The feel a bit "plasticky" and don't scream high quality when holding them and touching them, but I don't spend a lot of time holding them in my hands. The controls are ok. I mostly use the play/pause button to good effect.
At first, I'd prefer if the up/down buttons increased and decreased the volume and holding them would skip a song. But after a while, I found that if I wanted to adjust the volume, holding the button and getting a quick increase or decrease actually works well. If I want to fine tune that volume I can increase 1% at a time using the music's source like my windows pc.
Since I've forgotten that I'm wearing them, I've banged them against things a few times, and some paint as worn off. But the plastic feels very hard and could easily take some hits.
The battery life is pretty amazing. I've been spending the evenings of the past several days listening to music for a few hours each day. Windows 10 said that the headphones were at 30%, four days ago. I'm still listening to them after putting another 8 hours of listening through them. Eventually the battery performance will fade, but the first couple of months with them has been awesome.
I try not to spend a ton of money on frivolous things and when I spend, I want my money to go as far as possible. Getting these on sale and then getting a really good product out of this has been a treat. I'm really pleased. If you demand quality, you can easily spend $200-$300 or more. For someone who just wants a good performing piece of equipment that ticks a few boxes, this should be on your list.
