    Direct Sound EX-29 Dynamic Closed Headphones Black w/10' Headphone Extension Cable

    • The lower clamping force of the first versions of v3 also came with poor quality plastic headbands, resulting in a lot of them breaking.
    • It is made out of cheap hard plastic that feels uncomfortable and breaks easily
    • I believe this resonance was caused by the hard plastic shell of the headphones echoing the the sound into the headphone chamber
    • Although they were nice and roomy, and the soft plastic pads made a good seal, they just weren't that comfortable
    • The company is aware of this and have switched to a much improved plastic that is moldable and nearly impossible to break ("Incrediflex" I believe it is called).
    • Cheap plastic
    • Sure, the headband is flexible, but it is still made from cheap plastic.
    • The cushion ear pads are simply glued to the hard plastic and come of easily, after just a few times of wearing the headphones
    • As long as they do their job, I wouldn't mind it even if they were made out of burned plastic and glued chopsticks
    • The plastic is cheap
    • The band and the arms that attach it to the ear cups are made from the same brittle black plastic that I remember breaking on a few cheaply-manufactured things I've owned in the past
    • But the arms are made of cheap plastic and can be broken easily.
    • The headphones are made of cheap plastic and should not be purchased until they are made of something stronger.
    • They are junk, made of cheap plastic that doesn't hold up for very long.
    • The hard plastic over head arch snaps easily, when you put on this headphone
    • I would stay away from these, as it's really easy to find much nicer professional headphones with longer warranties that aren't constructed poorly starting a moderately higher price than what these cost
