Best set of headphones I ever bought

I bought a set of these 8/10 years ago when they were the newest model and they were great. The cord is just the right length that you can use them comfortably on just about anything but a TV. The sound quality was great right up to the day I broke...

Compact design, spiffy looks, good sound quality

These identical headphones are also available in red and black colors. You can see them on my profile page.

Excellent sound quality, no head/neck band, great for portable audio use

Unique swivel ear-clip design can be uncomfortable over extended periods of use

Respectable Blend of Looks and Functionality

A couple of my friends have had these headphones for sometime, the appearance always struck me as gorgeous and the sound quality wasn't bad at all, but the high price ($29 at Wal-Mart, Target, K-mart) always deterred me. But once my Phillips...

Great looks, switch-able caps, long (braided nylon) cord, sound quality, doesn't

Uncomfortable after a while, fragile feel, hard to put on/take off, price
