Im not sure if I got a lemon or Sony reformulated the interior components but this is a bust. I love these earbud tips! What a loser there know reason to steal from anyone Great back support, I wore it all day at work and it was super comfortable. In those areas, the HD 800S actually exceeded all my expectations and sounds even better than I thought it would. Over all still good quality. The Main selling point is that Noise cancelling was cancelling all the constant buzzing sounds. It was well worth the wait; very well constructed, and easy to operate with the included remote. Sound is good, plenty of bass for music and enough passive noise attenuation for my liking. Teva pride themselves on their recyclable (and often compostible) packaging only to then have this negated and dismisses by Amazon?s totally irresponsible approach toplastic.
