its neat ! a set of very comfortable headphone , which completely surround and caress you ear ! incredibly lightweight consider the size ! I wouldnt really like to compare these with bose or the likes , since Sennheiser be know to make some really quality stuff . I try a variety of music use these , range from soft classical to pop to some really embellished music ... and with each genre I realize that with this pair of Sennheiser , I hear the subtler tune and finer point which I didnt know exist . thankfully , the unit come with a cord winder as a beltclip attachment , which will save you the trouble of tag along the extra wire or stuff part of the 6 ft cord into you pocket . I wasnt too happy about the fact that I could hear myself nice and loud when singing along even softly with the music -lrb- would have be pleasant if I have a good voice ! -rrb- but on the brighter side , its as good as Karaoke , aint it ?? weigh the cost to delivery ratio ... I would definitely recommend it !
