Build Quality and Design

Cons:

• "One phone fell away from the Headset Joint."

• "The extraordinarily thin, RIGID plastic is the blame for this."

Pros:

• "These are mainly for mobile use, extremely easy to drive, super lightweight, no pressure on your head and ears."
• "Love these. They go OVER THE EAR and not ON the ear."

• "the fit is a little odd and these become loose on me from time to time."
• "Not sure if I got a particularly stiff pair, or have an oversized head, but these press onto my ears like there was no padding."

• "For now, I would not recommend these for any adult, they are just very cheap."
