The search for good foldable headphones is OVER!,

I purchased several pairs of headphones on Amazon to replace a pair that is no longer made and these are THE BEST. I gave the others away. What makes them so nice? They have decent sound quality, they fit nicely over my head and ears (I have a small head and many headsets have been too big)and don't irritate my skin/ears in any way. They fold/unfold easily for compact storage. They fit in my winter coat pocket with no problem. Since I can't use earbuds, I had previously been toting a regular, nonfoldable pair of headphones to and from work, which were bulky and I was always worried they would get damaged by being stuffed in a pocket or something. The fact that these headphones fold up is very pleasing to me because it certainly is easier to store them and the way they fold up also seems to protect them. I am no audiophile but I find the playback quality to be very good. The price is certainly reasonable and I am well-satisfied. Please, don't let them stop making these!

Love these!,

I love these headphones because I tend to break the non-bendable kind. They are also great to fold up and store in small places. The quality from them is great. I could never be comfortable wearing earbuds. For what they cost they are a great value.

Easy to fold up? You got the same headphone product the cheap ones from Phillips?,

Sorry but these headphones are nothing special, the ones from Panasonic for $4 have better bass & overall audio response.
Was extrenely disappointed actually that they do NOT fold up easily or flat, like the much lauded folding ones from the competition.
All these headphones do is fold at the apex, which does not help at all, they are still bulky. You could just as easily squeeze
the $4 pair into you coat pocket.
Extremely disappointed in headphones touted by Phillips as being "folding"
and convenient and they are not. Yes, they do actually fold. But not flat. So what's the point?
