Promising review: “These are the best headphones I’ve ever purchased, hands down. I love these because of the cords, sound, and durability! I’ve had this pair for a year and a month so far and they’re still going strong, even with how rough I treat my earbuds. They’re always in my pocket, in my earbud case, bag, jacket pockets, anywhere, and sometimes they swing around, hitting things, or are used while running at the gym. I fold them by wrapping them around three fingers, and given how many times I’ve done that, it’s absolutely amazing that they still work and that the sound hasn’t faded or broken. There’s a mic that I use to call people and it still works fine; just press the button once to end the call or pause/play music. The wood-and-metal finish looks awesome, and they stick out of my ears in a peculiar fashion that tends to leave a lot of people awed and get compliments. The bass sound is definitely amplified and I love it, and the noise [isolation] works fine — I can tune out anyone in a busy or loud environment (not 100% completely, but still pretty well). They came with a cute little pouch and six pairs of tips (which were handy because one of them fell out and I needed a replacement). The cords are really nice and coated in plastic, and they don’t tangle very easily (after so much wear, though, they’re starting to be a little weaker and easier to tangle). This product is amazing and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely buy another pair or several for birthday gifts, and maybe the 3.0 to see how it’s improved.” —Amazon Customer
