Not reliable
The first ones I owned, the flimsy cord broke. The second ones I bought lasted awhile, but then they broke in half. The third ones I owned they had bad no sound on the left side.

Great Headphones... BUT...
When I first got these headphones, I was simply amazed by the incredible standard of sound quality that was dispalyed. In fact, I started taking these headphones along with my Walkman everywhere I went - and I've pretty much have been doing so for the past seven months... until now.

Cool Headphones!
When I was out looking for headphones i found that not many were very comfortable. But when I saw these I knew it was perfect at first sight. I bought them that day. They are really comfortable and cool to wear. The only problem is that the volume and sound is a bit weak.
