    it was a really good product. I really enjoy the music quality cause of the bass and tremble but the bad thing about this the padding on the headphones because it can be uncomfortable with big ears which I have. But overall I enjoyed them

    The headphones are pretty good but I used them on a 3 hour flight and you would imagine that you could wear them for long periods at a time but the stick of a headrest causes an ache on the head over the certain amount of time.
