There aren't any loose pieces to be knocked out or off when the headphones are dropped (which I've already done a few times, oops).Finally, the best feature is the no-tangle yet LONG cord

it's just another cheap piece of plastic

this can be help by just ripping a small piece of paper and using it to add more friction to the connection, but still its sad that a 100$ head set doesn't work correctly out of the box

Or a mechanical piece breaking

No gigantic, ugly plastic pieces to easily bust
