So, in short, I bought these to go skiing and not have to pop my in ear stereo plugs in and out to hear my surroundings or only wear one ear plug to enjoy my music while still having a conversation or hearing things around me for safety. These are perfect though. The packaging is nice and follows a theme with other Kinera products with elegant box designs. Absolutely gutted. Unapologetic in presentation, listen up during mission briefing and contemplate on how you?ll approach each mission. The treble is very good and very detailed without becoming too bright. I have 3 screws that cant go in. I bought a pair a couple of years ago and they are similarly loose fitting so tend never to wear them very much. I love these Sony headphones. Easy to assemble and very sturdy.
