I have use these headphone for several year the sound be good not great . I would order 3-4 at a time because they be $ 8 . xx and I have one for the computer , one for the tv , and one for my Sony Walkman radio . and a spare because the wire eventually break inside , usually near the plug . but at nearly $ 50 I will step back to the Sony mdr-w08l which do not have the volume control but be -lrb- $ 8 , and I use they before the mdr-w24v .
