Cheaply Made and Broke Fast - Do not Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones broke in less than 4 months. Randomly broke on this super cheap and thin plastic piece that connects one ear to the band when I was laying down, didn't even drop them or anything. Do not recommend to purchase unless you buy the warranty. For such expensive headphones you'd think the hinges would be made of metal. I would not recommend to buy them when they're so expensive. Best buy could not do anything to help.
