A very smart investment for the money you have. The construction quality and materials used are of the highest possible standard. Even though there are not many stars falling from the sky, the sound is lovely; however, the value offered is extremely good for the price. They are comfortable to wear, as my ears have not yet become accustomed to the way they sit on the head. Some drawbacks include the necessity of tinkering with a proprietary utility in order to produce the desired very pleasant sound and the quality of sound transmission that may be achieved via the use of a microphone. Thankfully, none of this is tough, and it may even be of some value.
