Very attractive, the gold is tasteful, not brassy. These were fabulous there. Fingers crossed for it staying in place. These are "made in china" jockeys. Loved it little is very happy I have purchased these headphones four times because they often malfunction. I was very excited to get this product. The originals were unbelievable and life prolonged with a bit of epoxy glue. But one entire row of stones (that gold bar between the rounds) completely fell off within a week. The playtime should be improved, but Im satisfied with their overall performance.
