The cord is super sturdy, the jack portion is super protected, twisted the actual headphones and not a sound it made. Overall positive impression however could be slightly smaller. I bought the product new. I have returned them to the seller (at my expense) and have requested a size 10 replacement. For those reason I cant really justify the extra for the MixAmp Pro TR. I have never purchased a product which is so tight/small for the size listed. ) Then this is the mic for you. but these are more comfortable my opinion and people can hear you better when talking over the phone Its sturdy and doesnt take up much space. I?m disappointed with this puma product.
