I have find this item hard to find in store and when I do it be more expensive . I use my headphone at work so I be always pull on the cord . I find this item to be a good quality item for it be price range . the sound be good and clear . it keep out allot of outside noise . I have be use these headphone for year now and recommend they especially if you tend to be rough with they and do not want to spend allot of money .
