These are the worst headphones Ive owned. StyleThe Bose are more streamlined to my head. It is strong and quiet at low speeds. The sole is very springy and soft, very nice to wear, doesnt dye the foot (some shoes with dark soles do that and its very nasty), has very delicate arch support, straps fabric is bright, soft, doesnt chafe against the skin between toes, you can tie the knot tighter and make more space for your foot if you need. these are open toed but very warm. But i got a bargain with features. Had it for less than a week, and after moving it, the right foot bar snapped, and the left eventually followed. For the price you really can’t beat this for your home gym. But these seem sturdier & certainly deliver better sound quality - crisp & clear throughout the spectrum, surprisingly good, actually. Id definitely recommend it!
