I gave in and got these for my teen daughter after trying many other headphones that sound just find and cost less but aren't as cool. The reaction not disappoint, fully satisfied and even said thank you. Unfortunately the cable is flat, black, and looks like a flat style hair band to the point that the cat that like to eat hair bands chewed through the cable, twice. With apple care+ the fix was $39 not replacement.The sound is as expected from Beats, rather heavy on the thump, the fit is reasonably soft and the teen will happily wear them for hours. While not noise cancelling they set the volume where I can't hear what they are listening to and yet they don't hear me call them for dinner.These are the over end beats. But it didn’t cancel out no side and I couldn’t keep them on for 20 mins. Sadly I end end up in ICU twice since I bought these so I couldn’t return them. They are nice made but soooo uncomfortable and the sound not great. But with my illness right now I need wires headphones. I’m in bed.Not really impressed by this product the disappointment came when I discovered they don’t fit in Tyrolea over your ears these are on your headphones the ear buds of the same brand name or perfect have a good base and everything not impressed by the headphones.
