Great headphones,

These headphones sound great, especially considering they are semi-open headphones and not in-ear (which I don't like).
The sound is fuller compared to other headphones I've had and the bass is quite good.
The microphone is awesome, it isolates background noise very efficiently and allows a very clear handsfree conversation.
The control buttons (volume control & answer/play/pause) are very handy too.
A few minor issues:
1) The ear buds are a little larger than the average size you'll find on headphones.
Therefore they don't sit very securely in my medium sized ears and tend to fall out if I'm walking to briskly.
2) The control buttons operate with iphones only. In my older AKG K314 the volume control worked with all devices.
Overall I'm very pleased with this product.
Excellent sound but...,

Sound on/from these was the best I have heard from a small earphone, rich and full. Great for jazz and classical. Unfortunately they are a little fragile and mine broke within 3 months. First the silicone rings that hold them in the ear came off, and proved hard to replace. In the end small foam covers did the trick. Then the speaker cover on one ear came off and I couldn't get it back on, which left the inner workings exposed and made them unwearable. For this there was no fix. Buy them if you value the musical experience but treat them with care. This is the only reason they don't get 5 stars.
