For audiophiles, the quality itself is about what you?d expect for something that doesn?t go in your ear, also the volume does not go that high and there?s no noise cancelling (but this isn?t a criticism, they?re supposed to do the direct opposite of cancelling outside noises)By far the best thing about them is the comfort/ease of use. They are very durable and have lasted me a long time, about three years. I am considering buying more for other doors.

Sizing down a bit I think helped. I purchased them in th US in 2012.
