I have been a TechCo since 1990 and headphones are an on-going concern. Now with devices being a critical part of daily instruction, decent headphones are required. I am constantly seeking affordable, over ear, compact, and especially durable headphones with reasonable sound quality. When on sale, these are my favorite value headphone. The only drawback I find is that the embedded wire across the headband to connect the second ear cup occasionally comes out- too bad it's not sealed. However, if loose, you can try to push it back in with a fingernail. Otherwise, you may need to tighten the wire, which requires a mini Phillips screwdriver to reset inside the ear cup and 5+ minutes. The L-shaped plug is strong and fits in almost all devices, even tablets with covers. The long cord is as advertised. I don't like electronics waste, so buying cheap headphones ends up costing more money and junk in the long run. These seem to fit all sizes and not too fancy to be coveted. They get my #1 seal of approval overall.
