These were the first pair of headphones I bought in my time and the first pair of 180 headphones I've ever bought so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Growing up in the 80's and 90's I was put off by the types of headphones available. They took a little getting used to at first, but they're light and surprisingly warm, and I particularly like that they don't feel like the foldable earmuffs with the irritating/annoying spiral plastic headgear I've seen in the past.
