Not really a fan
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
