Theyre cute, fun, and feel just great after walking around shopping for a few hours. After doing a lot of research and testing, I decided on the AKG K490NC wired noise cancelling headphones. Definitely buy this. For the price, these cant be beat! nothing works. Bought these for the Hubby. The embellishments are just the right amount of elegant and not gaudy. So I figured the extra microphone would help. Do the same thing! I had gotten these for my husband since he had been wanting some wireless earbuds or a while but didn?t want to spend $100s on the Apple ones.
