Frends - Taylor Over-the-Ear Headphones - Rose Gold/White

Let me start by saying that I love these headphones! I discovered them online and went to my local Best Buy in hopes of being able to touch them and listen to them, but they only had them in the box. Boo! I bought them anyway and just hoped they would work out well. They have turned out to be amazing! The sound quality is incredible. They are a higher quality than most other headphones - including, in my opinion, the current darling on the market that says it has a "women's line" but that really just means they have some girly colors. These Frends headphones truly are smaller in size but adjust so they can perfectly fit a woman. I don't feel dwarfed by them. The only complaint I have is that they're a bit tight over my ears after listening for a long time. I suppose I'll get used to that. I use these at work most often and they block out most noise, even though they're not noise canceling. I most recently used them on the train and it was as though there was no sound around me. It was great! I get a lot of compliments on them, too.

These headphones were purchased as a gift for a friend as she loves high end stuff. These headphones did not disappoint as they look great and sound great as well. But you expect that for a +100 dollar pair of headphones. These are designed for women so the aesthetic should please. If you can afford them then it is worth considering, especially as the headphone markets look like Beats clones.

I've been eyeing these headphones for a while and they are as attractive in person as I had expected. However, even for someone who wasn't necessarily looking for the best in sound quality, the sound quality (or rather the lack thereof) makes these headphones way overpriced. I'd say it's similar to the quality of the standard Apple earphones but considering they are over-ear and $200, the sound should really be better. While I was willing to overlook the sound quality, the reality is that even for looks alone they aren't really worth it as they scratch very easily. I found a scratch on one side the very first day I wore them even though I was being very cautious. I'm not even sure how the scratch got there and am afraid to see how they'll turn out with prolonged and more frequent use. Also the white silicone around the volume controls gets dirty easily, though it's easy to wipe clean. In terms of fit, they're pretty comfortable, but it's worth noting that the headband part is not padded like other over-ear headphones. I do like the fabric cord and the portability factor (folds up neatly into the included case). I wouldn't recommend them though until some improvements have been made. I think $100 would have been a more appropriate price for this product.

So I found these on sale for $89.99 (just this model with the black and silver). If you have the same sale in your area, I HIGHLY suggest getting a pair if you've been looking at them. Now I'm not a huge sound expert, but I did spend a good hour trying out the different headphones on display. Sadly, this isn't on display, but based on my testing, I found them to have equal if not slightly better quality that Beats by Dr. Dre Solo. Unfortunately, they aren't noise cancelling (though neither are the Beats, unless you go up to the Beats Studio or higher). However, once your music is playing, it muffles out the surrounding sound very well. I've used them in coffee shops and busy cafes now and they really do drown out all the ambient noise. The narrower headband is a plus, since its not nearly as heavy as most other brands. The ear cushions are actual leather and not just foam, so they may have nice durability (though I haven't tested this). Overall, I'm extremely pleased with these headphones. I bought my partner a pair for her birthday and ended up getting myself a pair the next day. Check your local BestBuy and take advantage of the sale if you can!

Got this product on sale for a airplane ride the sound was great and the ears are comfortable if you don't have an upper ear piercing would recommend great if you have small ears too

These are great for almost all kinds of music. They are pretty light so my ears didn't hurt after using them for a long time. And well, they are very pretty.

choices for women's headphones are pretty slim and usually ugly. with these new headphones from frends, i am in love! the sleek and modern design makes me bring them with me everywhere i go because it goes with my outfits and personality. it is perfect for talking on my cell phone handsfree and radiation free (as i do not want brain cancer!). the sound quality is great and the i adore the little details like the rose gold sound adjuster buttons and tangle free cord! this is a MUST buy for the holidays - i am definitely recommending these to my girlfriends and guyfriends for their girls as a perfect modern girl's gift.

These are the coolest headphones and best sounding by far
