The verdict

We hesitate to reccomend these headphones because of their poor performance in the lab and difficulty competing with similarly-priced products. Wait for these to go on clearout if you want them.

✓Liked: Comfort, Threaded adapter

✕Could be better: Sound quality, Price, Awkward cable, Value
