pro and con -- the con end up outweigh the pro , so I end up return these : -lrb- positive : - gorgeous : the rise red headphone look even better than they do in the picture . not jewel-like , but a nice multifaceted shiny pretty red that stand out . - sound quality : the sound quality be amazing -lrb- I try my old cheap headphone after listen to music for a while , and I could definitely hear a huge difference -- and I be not the type of person to be ` picky ' about my headphone ! -rrb- . negative : - fit : although these come with 5 different ear bud option , none of they fit comfortably in my ear . I try my bf 's beat by Dr. Dre -lrb- same brand -rrb- , so I know it be not just because I usually do not use in-ear style headphone . side note : the Dr Dre one fit much better because of the way they be design -- the ` sound ' part -lrb- the part that go in you ear -rrb- protrude much more than the Gaga one do , allow the earphone to sit further in you ear ! - fit2 : relate to the above issue , because I could not get the earbud to stay in my ear due to a combination of 1 . uncomfortable fit -lrb- partly due to the shape -- and I try troubleshoot base on a bunch of review on here -rrb- and 2 . the design 's weight . the design be so heavy that unless the ` fit ' in the ear be perfect , the earbud will tend to fall out . they would stay in just fine and provide great noise-reduction when I be sit still , but even tilt my head to the side would start to loosen the fit . walk be out of the question -lrb- I would have to push they back every 3-4 step -rrb- . - noise reduction be good -- but almost too good . I say this for two reason : 1 . outside with these earphone be a terrible idea -- even with music really low , you could barely hear car . not a issue for other depend on where they live\/what they want to use these for . 2 . the chord dangle around , even when you clip they in place , would be audible . I be not sure how else to describe it , but basically since the sound reduction be so good , you could hear the vibration cause by the chord move around . overall , if you want a great set of earphone to listen to music from in a setting like study in noisy cafe , etc , these would be perfect ! for I , they just be not versatile enough -- or comfortable : -lrb-
