Sound is good but durability is lacking
Really enjoyed using these until the headband snapped, which was about 2 years worth. With that considered, these headphones are a good value considering the price. The sound quality is really good, just wish they lasted a little longer.
Overall these are fantastic for the price, and very comfortable. You pretty much forget you're wearing them.
Long term i'm not sure how well the rubber headband part will hold up, but they're sturdy enough to throw in a bag.
Wish the cord was a little longer for using with a PC for calls. Also would have preferred a right-angle plug.

I keep buying these!
These are lightweight headphones that look and sound great. The only problem is that they're not incredibly durable and will snap after a lot of regular use (or if your two-year-old gets his hands on them!).
I still keep buying more though!
When I was younger I went through 3 pairs of Sennheisers of a similar form factor (albeit, foldable). I find this style so comfortable but after 3 pairs in less than 2 years (sound would go in one ear) I wasn't going to buy another pair and newer versions seemed even more fragile.
I wish I'd come across these years ago. They are comfortable, the sound is great, the price even better, but they don't feel like they're just going to go dead on me. I'm not sure how you could make this form factor much sturdier whilst remaining in this price range. The reinforcement in the jack is especially reassuring for me and I feel that I can take them with me wherever I go. However, whilst seemingly resistant to wear and tear, I'm not sure how they'd stand up to riding loose in my bag and I don't want to take the risk. It was really hard to find a case for them but I finally found a perfect fit in the fishing section of Go Outdoors (in the UK) with a little reel case for a fiver. It's just stiff enough that it gives me piece of mind throwing them in my bag.
I've mainly been driving them from my btr5 and I can't fault the sound in any way. I couldn't recommend these more.
My star ratings take price into account.
EDIT: Unfortunately one of the ear pads has fallen off due to the failure of a plastic clip that holds it in. This presumably happened whilst they were being transported in a soft case in my satchel with nothing else in the satchel to potentially damage them. I would expect any pair of headphones to be more robust than this. I have reduced my star rating accordingly.
I thought these could be overhyped but no, they are very very good. I slightly prefer them to both the KSC75 and Porta Pro’s thanks to the earcup design covering the entire ear. It really helps contain more of the sound, to the point where these are more semi-open than fully open like the 75s and Portas.
So the sound is a little fuller and the bass impact is somehow way better than the others. Kick drums actually ‘feel’ like kick drums which I’ve never experienced with headphones before
