Advantages: Looks

Disadvantages: Comfort, Quality

I wanted to get Bose over-ear heapdhones but the cost of those would be considerably more, so I opted for the cheap and cheerful option. As the adage goes, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately what I got were fairly uncomfortable earphones - which negates any level of appreciation for sound quality and such, because I simply can't keep them on long enough to appreciate the audio. Assuming this may have been an issue that lied exclusively with me, I decided to let my family use them also to see if discomfort was the general consensus. In fact nobody enjoyed wearing them - so I know the issue isn't only with me. That being said, others may find them comfortable.

Appearance wise they look good, and the sound quality isn't exactly terrible - but it certainly won't leave you enthralled or immersed like a decent pair of (expensive) headphones.

Summary: Uncomfortable and unimpressive sound quality.
