Okay, these predators just arrived so this is an initial listening test, not a durability rating. I am using the headphone cases that the product came in. Seemed to fit okay. As humans we are different, so wear what is most comfortable - you have three choices. Now to the music. I play with a Sony MP3 player. Before that I used OEM headphones for about 10 years so I take good care of my electronics. When you see the photos you will understand why I love this vintage MP3 player. Headphones, SOUND, better than a $100 pair from Audio Technica I tried about a week ago. They didn't impress me by being as good as Sony's OEM. For that amount, they should amaze me. For $19.90 these Philips give me more average bass than I've ever heard, and so far I've listened to three different genres of music and they've all satisfied me. (I just wish they'd made the turntables LOUDDER - I'm the kind of person who would be happy to die if I could listen to music forever.) So, Icebreaker's Slaughterhouse played GREAT. It's a fantastic production so it would be hard not to play loud enough. Then "Left Footage" by Jarvis. Excellent! The song "Our Lips Are Sealed" by Go-Go was also very good, except for the part where she sings "dirty/rude" at the beginning and I didn't get goosebumps. Either way, if you've got a good amp, they'll rock pretty good for under $20. I would probably even pay $40 to $45 for it. And I'm pretty cheap and critical. LOL They kick that Audio Technica ass and I'm so glad I took the plunge and got them. If you don't see any follow-up reviews, then there are no durability issues. So far I don't see any flaws. HAPPY - X - yes! (I bought these because I had an old Philips shelving system that I loved and it worked.) OhMG, Siouxsie and Banshee's Hong Kong Garden just came out, the Kevin Shields String remix, and it's crystal damn! The Geography II Front 242 also sounds crisp and precise.
