Haven’t had it for a month and the band snapped. The sound quality is good, but the actual headband isn’t very durable.

With a 12 year old daughter things can get pretty loud around here and these headphones are great at tuning her out and tuning me in.

These headphones arrived to me at a time when I was thinking very critically about what I wanted in a set of 'phones and how I'd use them/wear them. Long story short: On the Ear Cups are WHERE it's AT for someone who likes the comfort of over the ear but doesn't care for the size or weight, OR someone who wears glasses like me. the on the ear cup style seems tailor-made for me there.
Unboxing and Setup:
LIke all decent pairs of headphones these days Bluetooth pairing is easy and basic controls are enabled immediately after connecting. If you want to do anything else, or if you cant' get them to behave, there is a handy app Plantronics has provided. I was a little worried about the weight at first since these are so light, I thought they might fall off if I did any activity, and these are definitely directed towards someone who might be an active user with their water-resistant coating and adjustable fit.
Battery life:
Plantronics claims 18 hours, I have consistently gotten slightly better than that off of a full charge. That's only been a few times, but that's far better than underperforming.
Controls:
There are a number of different control schemes out there right now for wireless headphones and this one uses an interesting combination of physical buttons and touch panels. Some high-end headphones that I've tried before ONLY had a touch panel and that drove me nuts, as it was not as reliable as I cared for. The combination in this pair seems to work okay at least. Physical buttons are labeled, especially for the ones you're likely to be using with the headphones off and not as often (Bluetooth pair button) and then the ear cups have different touch controls. I find this slightly more reliable than pure touch controls and a good compromise to the need for "touch". Their inability to always accurately interpret my fingerpresses to skip tracks or play/pause are what keep these from being a 5 star pair of headphones in my mind.
Sound:
Sound reproduction is quite good. Some lows and highs are obviously sacrificed in the size of the drivers since these are "on ear" cups, but overall I enjoyed the sound that these headphones have both a decent range and were clear and clean with reproduced sound. No noise cancelling here, but you're a little on the affordable side for something like that.
Overall:
If you're an "on the ear" wearer and you want to work out or are tired of having small earbuds slide out of your ears as you work out, these are for you and me! Great sound and solid construction shows that Plantronics has learned a lot from their years in the headset business and now they're applying it to these headphones to much success.

As my first time owning this type of headphones, I am truly impressed with them. So comfortable and clear. And they are very easy to use. I am happy with my choice and the rep on the floor provided well use knowledge to help me select them. Could not be any happier!

I realize that my head is slightly larger than average, but I cannot wear these headphones for more than 10 minutes or so without them starting to hurt my head. If I extend the earphones as far as possible, I can just barely get them onto my ears.
Sound Quality: the bass tends to be a little hollow sounding, but otherwise the sound replication is good. However, these are meant to be used for exercise. Every footfall while walking seemed like a bass-kick through the earphones. I guess these could be good for weight-lifting, but I wouldn't bother for any manner of running or high-movement athletics.
Design: other than the aforementioned issue with the length the ear-cups can extend, these are well designed for athletics. The materials seem to repel water/sweat well, and they feel like they should be durable. Also, they even considered the athletic nature of the design in the carrying bag they included, which is a mesh design to allow for ventilation (much like many athletic bags for your clothing).
Other: bluetooth pairing was very easy. You turn it on, find it in your phone's menu, and hit pair. Done. The controls on the ear-cup are nice, but a bit limited. You can play/pause, skip forward and back, and control volume. The main controls (play/pause, forward, back) are on a highly rubberized panel on the ear-cup, making it very easy to feel and hit when your hands are sweaty.
Overall, these could be good if they fit your head. If you have a larger than average head, look elsewhere.

I bought these to use at the gym. They are very comfortable. They stay in place and I have no problem using them running on the treadmill or elliptical. They are very versatile as you can plug them in or use them Wireless. Great product!
