I recently purchased the bad design flawed heaphones October 2005. I loved it except for the, you know, the heaphones breaking. But as of December 2005, this flaw has been fixed. no more cracked headphones. So the only reason why you shouldnt buy this is becuase of the price. As for the weight, its not too bad. it helps that its behind the ear. It only 3 ounces. Most behind the neck headphones weigh 2 or more ounces.
