at first I think the bass be too high , but then I realize my old headphone just could not play at such low level . the cord be make to be use with mp3 player , so it be too short to use on my pc , so I have to get a extender . they be very portable for not be ear bud ; even though , they will not fit in you pocket . I just wear it around my bicep or clip it to my belt , when not in use ; not around my neck though I sweat too much when work .
