I bought 4 pair. One color which I like, some height which I prefer to have, and seemed like a great multipurpose sandal when traveling. I would buy them again but from everyone Ive spoken to, Ill probably never need to. I can wear these headphones for 8 hours straight! On top of which, the mounting bracket for the mic is useless as it limps over under the weight of the mic that it comes with and supposed to hold up. so I am going off the site here . The cushions are not as fine as Boses but I can live with this for £100 difference. I saw that these JBL headphones had good ratings and decided to try them out. I like the sound quality. Its definitely not studio-quality, but should be sufficient for streaming and non-commercial broadcast use.
