I'm a student and heavy traveler, and so my emphasis on buying these headphones was
As far as sound is concerned, I'm no audiophile. I look for headphones that don't interfere with my appreciation of music by creating erroneous sound, drowning out vocals with obviously artificially enhanced segments of the sound spectrum or by buzzing. Also, I want minimal sound leaking out as possible, so my neighbors on planes and in my workplace don't hear my bad taste in music. A few days of heavy use have shown that these headphones fit my requirements for sound thus far.
I'm hard on my electronics. I broke two cell phones in the course of 9 months. That being said, these get top ratings as a durable, travel-friendly headphone. They fold up easily into a relatively small package, and come with a surprisingly durable and thick carrying bag. The build quality is such that I have no fear of throwing them their case in my backpack and letting them jostle with my books and batteries.
For comfort, these are very satisfactory, striking a pleasing balance between the aforementioned portability and comfort. The band on top of the head is a bit noticeable, but not distracting and definitely not painful. I'd pick this band over a wider band with more comfort but less portability. The earpieces pivot enough to not pinch my ears, and the padding there is fantastic. Like someone else said, the only (minor) issue is my ears get warm after a while.
Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with these, and I won't be searching for another set of headphones unless someone steals these.
