The charging cord I received will not charge my headphones. ?? ???????????? Maybe a $200 pair of earbuds gets a better sound, but these are seriously deep and rich. In addition it has a nice scent and a little goes a really long way. It?s so comfortable and that makes such a big difference to me in a workout (no sore butt ??)! They are a bit narrow. The ease of use and extremely simple setup means that this charger works really well! I paid quality money for what should have been a quality product. Immediately Senhiser, Beyerdynamic, and Audio?Technica stood out. So, I decided that going with another pair of Audio-Technicas would be a safe and affordable strategy - as long as I moved up to a better model of AT.
