(More customer reviews)These headphones are the fourth pair of Sennheiser's I have owned in recent years. Unfortunately, these and three others have all suffered the same kind of demise: poor cable construction. In each of the cases, the cable of the headphones let down what were nice sounding cans. I have also owned Sony, Denon, JVC, Blueant and Plantronics headphones and headsets. Of all of the makes I have used, the Sennheiser have consistently had the flimsiest cables of them all, in some cases by far. I had a pair of Sony studio headphones since I was sixteen, and the cable held up to amazing abuse for over a decade until finally the foam ear-pieces started to disintegrate. I found the Denon cans to be an excellent replacement, but I wanted some in-ear style headphones that came with a mic. After losing a couple of pairs over the past couple of years, a friend of mine recommended me these. The feature functionality seemed right, and the price was good. The sound quality is acceptable, neither stunning nor awful. The fit is average. I've had better, I've had worse. They tend to work lose pretty quickly if you are doing anything but sitting, but that's not atypical for a design like this. The extension chord is a nice touch, but the lack of a USB adapter is kind of annoying, I ended up using one from my old Sennheisers that died, and that worked fine. The carrying case is gimicky, rubber (warning if you are allergic to rubber or latex) and pretty useless. It has a magnetic clip that holds it shut, but it's pretty weak and will fall open in a pocket or bag easily allowing your headset to get damaged. The microphone is well placed, and seems okay, nothing special. Picked up my voice fine.
This could have been a 3-4 star product, but the fact that it broke down in less than two weeks of usage, well, that's pretty sad considering it never left my desk.
