the sound quality on these be pretty good , they be on the smaller size so you have to turn the volume up to block outside noise . they be very comfortable for long session , I have wear they for 8 hour at a time without any issue . I do wish there be a lock mechanism on the metal adjustment band . as soon as they come off you head it squeeze shut , which get irritating quickly . the `` case '' be a leather pouch which you can barely squeeze they into . I stop use it after a couple day . overall , these be just ok . the difference between these and any $ 10 pair be minimal aside from the sound quality . I would buy these again at a lower price , for $ 35 though I would look elsewhere .
