Going to make this as brief and useful as possible :DThe plastic of the whole product is unfortunately cheaper than desired, and will not fare well in a loose bag during travel

Sony needs to stop covering the styrofoam ear pads with cheap plastic

I have to always buy third party ear-pieces because the default ones flake plastic stuff off after just a week or so of regular use

But they don't fold at all, and the earcups are held in place by a flimsy plastic peg in the design, which breaks quite easy, as does the headband

The plastic is pretty flexible, but holds form so well that it's hard to get them to sit comfortably on some heads (grips too firmly).

I would not recommend these for travel; over-ear headphones are a little goofy looking but may be acceptable on planes, however watch out for the cheap plastic

The plastic is, quite simply, cheap

To clarify, the wires are not exposed nor has the plastic covering the wires cracked or cut, however I do have a loss of sound in my right ear when the cord is in the wrong position

there is a little dainty stirrup shaped brittle plastic piece that holds the "reversible" earpiece to the headband.

The flimsy plastic fork-shaped connectors between the ear cups and the headbands snapped when I rested my head on one side

They feel like hard plastic with a little bit of foam on the ear pads; and the headband is hard plastic with no foam.

The only problem that I ever had with these headphones is the ear pads have begun to break down, leaving little black flakes of possibly toxic plastic everywhere

Pros:-Light, durable plastic-Long,durable cord for studio monitoring-Good sound quality for price-price!Cons:-Very light, may seem "cheap" to those who have headphones that have some aluminum in it.-Super long cord can get in the way if you're using it with your

Would be ideal if headphone jack was at a 90 degree angle to prevent jack input area from wearing out (usually the first things that go in headphones)- Very minor criticism, but plastic could be a bit more solid

I will wrap tape around the broken plastic piece on my old ones, put new foam caps on the disintegrating ear pads and throw the new ones in a junk drawer.

Once they broke (the plastic surrounding the pin broke and one of the earphones fell out

Overall flimsy plastic construction, not sensitive (loud) enough, so-so frequency response.

They are made of cheap plastic and the headphones fell apart into two pieces and one of the cushions fell off as well

the cheap plastic supporting the can on the left side failed so the ear piece now will not stay where it belongs.

These headphones are cheap plastic, too tight, uncomfortable and the sound quality is terrible

The plastic holding the ear piece broke after only a few weeks.

Unfortunately after a very short time the cheap plastic band broke off next to a hinge, and the cord started fraying next to the plug

The adjusters always wear down because of the cheap plastic

To my pleasant suprise they snapped right back in the headpiece and work as if nothing happened

The sound is not as rich as with a large pair of headphones, but that is simply the limitation of small, earbud speakers.=>

These sound better than my Koss Pro 4AA's which I paid $100 for, and sound almost as good as my Bose Triports

The new pair I have doesn't sound nearly as good as my old pair of the same

They don't leak sound as far as I can tell.

I dominate in Counter-Strike as I can hear my enemies coming, and my music has seldom sounded better, as I listen to a wide variety of music from 50 Cent (Rap) and Juno Reactor (Trance) all the way to Checkfield (New Age) and Chuck Loeb (Jazz)

They provide GOOD bass response, very clear mids and highs (almost as good as most

This does not really work as the ear thing does not flip all the way, more like 80% or so

I purchased these headphones recently, and everything works as it should.

Headphones are marked as usual Left & Right earcup.. however if I put them on as they are marked they do not twist as they should with the shape of ears... so I wear them other

About 35 years ago I worked as an on-air announcer at a local music radio station in my hometown

I use them to record music as well as to listen to music

When they break I just get another pair.
