With its positives being: Headphones that are not uncomfortable There are two possibilities for the overlay: leatherette and mesh. microphone mechanism that can be detached and swiveled separately from the speakers (this allows you to wear the headphones around your neck for convenience). the absence of any ice-backlight that has a "parrot" effect Got cons: Even after all this time, using headphones for lengthy periods of time can still cause some discomfort with the auricle, however I believe this to be an entirely personal structural trait of each person. In these headphones (I believe they were the earlier model of the Sennheiser HD 215 headphones), the sound of the electronic piano was satisfying to my ears.
