    Had these Sony for no more than 7 months and it went out with the wires first coming out where you adjust the length. Then it stopped working. I didn't have protection . It was good while it last.

    I liked the sound quality, it was pretty good. But the build quality wasn’t great. Also I thought they were too big, as in the earcups stuck out too much. To me they looked goofy. I didn’t keep them.
