Advantages: aestheticaly pleasing, good sound quality, long line, good staying power

Disadvantages: slight rubbing after prolonged use, plastic covers fall off

These headphones are a good option for those people who want a more durable pair of headphones with staying power and a great design. The sound quality and range was far superior to any of the other headphones I have tried, although as with most in ear headphones the bass level is less clear. The neck strap (for want of a better word) is quite secure and i have found it suitable for skiing and cycling. However when I wore them for a jog they felt less secure and the strap bounced around behind my head - although they did stay on far better than standard in ear headphones.

The line was sufficiently long to have in a pocket whilst in use but is not long enough to put in a leg pocket comfortably. The earpieces are comfortable and secure, although by boyfriend thought that they rubbed his ear after a couple of hours of use. The earpieces and curve of the band are suitable to use underneath a helmet - although they are hard to take off under a helmet. The rubber earpiece covers did eventually fall off after a couple of months, however the headphones came with a spare pare which have stayed on better with a bit of superglue!

Overall a good product - these have taken a fair bit of use since i bought them in december and they are still looking and sounding great.

Summary: Stylishly designed, durable buy with better than average sound quality
