Pros: Reputable company L shaped aux Microphone Volume rocker On ear Sufficiently loud Clean Crip sound Single side wire Cons: Cheap quality/Material Not durable Not good for bass lovers Not very loud Ear cup is a bit small,not for people with large ears Thin wire

I am using this headset from last 8 months and here is the good and bad. Disclaimer: My first review. I do not claim audiophile crown but listens to rock, metal and hip-hop a lot. Good....... 1) It sounds really great. Mid 5/5 low 4/5 high 4/5 Bass 3.5/5 2) Earcups are nicely designed and fit perfectly on my ears. Soft cushion feels like leather no cut even after 8 months. 3) Earcups can be flat folded. (not like beats) 4) Compatible with smartphone so you can paly/pause music from controller button on cord and receive calls so no problem at this end. 5) Feels durable. Still looks new. No scratches, even after rough use. 6) Fits perfectly so leaves no room on ears. Sometime you need to get them off just to get some air. 7) Blue color looks really good. Color of Music anyways. Bad........ 1) Bass maniacs might be disappointed. but still enough for me. . 2) Cord looks little bit odd, It would have been better if they have provided flat cord but still no tangling problem. I expected flat one. 3) Does not work with Sony Ericsson Xperia models.(I Tried with Xperia Neo V) They are using different jack layout. 4) If you listen music for long hours then some sweating could be experienced in ear. 5) Noise reduction is not that good and cant be expected at this price range. But it is kind of a good feature to have some background noise while walking on road. Conclusion: If you want a nice good looking pair of headphones under 2k (with best music quality in price range) to use both indoor and outdoor or with laptop or mobile .... go ahead and buy them, You will be happy. If you can spend around 10k then go for Audio Technica ATH-M50 or Audio Technica ATH-M50x . Next in my list.

Not great at all
