    I love the sound of these headphones. The one complaint is that the bar across the top hits my head in a firm way and is a bit irritating. Not sure why there is not more padding or perhaps a bit more curve.

    This is a must cop if you look for good sounding earbuds for a fair price. But using a different app to change the setting is weird. But overall a must if you are looking for something good.

    Very good headphones. I mainly use them for studying which is perfect, I can block out any noise if I need to or change the settings to allow for ambient noise if I'm studying with friends.
