Update: 6th June 2017 To be honest these have been my favorite budget headphones for a long time. Still valid as I received it back in February. I always keep them in the little pouch that comes with them, which is probably why they still look brand new. Such a simple thing to add so much value to. The sound still plays well. Will definitely get another pair if they eventually die out, maybe in a different colour/style. A super cool feature is the ability to press once on a phone call and mute it. I had to email to find out why I couldn't end a call and I had no idea that a single press would mute the audio because I never looked at my phone screen during a call. Got a reply very quickly so very happy with the customer service too! It requires a long press to hang up, mitigating accidental hangup when pressing the button. ------ Feb 2017 I've owned them for almost a week now (let me say I'm not a fan of these companies) and am asking for a review if you hardly ever get a chance to use the product.) What whatever they are cost, they are - great value. The sound is pretty crisp and I really appreciate the build quality of the metal. Sure, it gives them a bit more weight (on the gram scale, so it doesn't matter either way), but in a satisfying way! They seem like they should last a decent amount of time, and they advertise a lifetime guarantee, that's pretty cool! They seem very comfortable for extended listening. The little scuba on the outside also feels good with your fingers when you put them in your ears. I only use the size that comes with it, but they come in several other sizes, also in a very nice little hard case with a nice magnetic clasp. Also included is a small soft felt pouch for storing the headphones. What I've used as a replacement before were these cheap Panasonic headphones, which were good for the price too, but feel like a big premium upgrade for a small addition. Calls were also an important factor for me, so a built-in microphone was a must for me. I've only made a couple of calls but haven't had any feedback of any hearing loss or anything like that I've experienced with a pair of Skullcandy headphones, which I still use occasionally. The built-in play/pause/skip is nice too. The only downside is that there doesn't seem to be a triple click to go back to a track, but it's not the end of the world. Oh, and that built-in mic feels comfortable in your fingers since it's also metal. Only time will tell if they hold up! I've noticed that I've used the term "satisfaction" quite a bit, so I guess it's safe to say I'm very happy with them so far!
