Cords run over by office chairs... swung around like a ball-and-chain, chewed on, soaked in rain; I've abused these things like an angry linebacker, and they usually only break when I accidentally crush the earbud or slice the cord. Usually I just end up [losing] them. I have extra backup pairs," says one customer.

Even though they were more expensive, I didn't want to spend less and hate them. I'm so glad I did. They are everything I was looking for. With music on I don't hear anything around me.
