the sound be alright but the bass could be stronger . the cord be prone to break if you wrap it too often ; a pair of these last I only 3 month or so with regular use -lrb- like 4 hour a day -rrb- . if you need something light to carry when you travel then these be for you . if you be like I , -lrb- someone who listen to music all the time -rrb- sound quality be extremely important you should invest in some higher quality headphone . a extra ten buck can get you a pair with padded earphone , a longer cord , and a better overall product .
