I originally receive these headphone as a Christmas gift and fall in love with they : the neckband design I prefer , thick quality foam over each earphone , and a durable string over the wiring -lrb- rather than the typical rubber -rrb- . while the reflective coating on the neckband have a tendency to be easily scratch off and the original pair snap in half from a awkward snag while place in a backpack -lrb- to be fair , at three in the morning when I be very uncoordinated -rrb- , I like it enough to go online and buy it when no other store have it in stock .
