That being said, I am picky about taking care of my bars so if you are not or have a good knock-around bar that you dont mind marking up, disregard everything I have written above. The only headphones ive tried that are clearer are the HD800s and maybe HD650. The real review is that this is a straightforward little unit. Ive benched, squatted, rack pulled, used the pullup bar, and was most excited about the landmine attachment. This isn?t bad but I thought it needed mentioning. He stays with me a few days a week and he wears them often with no complaints. It also arrived a few days after purchase which was long before the expected date. Not that stretchy. Che prodotto ragazzi. never got to used.
