I'm going to keep this one short and simple: these headphones are amazing. If you want to go tanning, workout at the gym, play guitar (quietly) or just roam around the room these are the headphones for you. The ear clips are comfy especially if you don't like that giant wing over your head.They do have a learning curve, as it will take a good 30-60 minutes to learn how to use them. But once you got it, you got it! Not only are they good with iPods and laptops but are awesome for cellphones too. You can answer calls with them and hear the person clearly. Not much else to say other that I am very satisfied (they were shipped in 3 days!) and that these headphones are the best bang for the buck.
