I have to admit , when I first open the box for these headphone I think they look awfully small . however when I open they and put they on , I find that to very good ! the headphone do look small and be , if you compare they to the other type that cover the whole ear . but what these make up for in size , they make up for in other way . these headphone have a nice snug fit -lrb- not tight but snug like a nice glove -rrb- . they be not noise canceling , but what they lack there they make up for in crystal clear sound . and they be extremely light in weight . the come with a nice pouch to store the headphone . so you be not have to buy a pouch or look in the house for something . the cord could be longer so if you like to move around the room with you headphone plug into the stereo or such , you 'll probably need to purchase a longer cord . but that be not a problem . they fold nice and fit into the bag with no problem . there be a nice squishy foam on top of the headphone so that they sit snug and fit good on you head . I use these to listen to music , mp3 old time radio via the computer , and even connect they to the television . in all the time , they give superior sound quality . great headphone .
