You sound like you paid $50

These amazing items are packaged so well they make a great gift. They come in a WOOD box with plastic and cardboard inserts that reveal the headphones when you open the box. While beautiful, the box is for display only, not storage. It was a bit fiddly to remove the paper insert to get at the headphones as there was no pull tab to grab, but that's not a problem. The ear tips are labeled "left" and "right" but you'll find out because they're shaped opposite each other to fit the anatomy of the ear. The connector is at a 90 degree angle, allowing you to wrap the cord around your phone and slip it into your pocket. The straight plugs protrude far enough that you could damage your phone's headphone jack. The headphones have a bit of weight because they look like metal and they look stylish. There is a built-in microphone and a play/pause button. MOST IMPORTANT: These things sound almost like my $80 headphones and are as good as a $50 pair (no headphones compare to actual full-size in-ear headphones). You won't feel any bass with them, but you won't feel it with any headphones. But you get full mids and highs, and clarity at moderately high volumes (i.e. no distortion). They sit comfortably in my ears thanks to the spherical capsules (better than hemispherical ones). Possibly the best quiet headphones I've ever owned (and I've had dozens).

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank
