The Stretch, which also goes by the model number TR 55LX (or Philips SHO9567BK/28) and comes in a white model, lists for $79.99 but can be found online for less than $50. And for $50 it offers good value, particularly in the design department.
The good: The Philips O'Neill The Stretch TR 55LX are attractively styled, very comfortable, and relatively lightweight for over-the-ear headphones. They're also modestly priced and you can detach the headphone cord.
The bad: Sound could be more dynamic and detailed; no built-in microphone; headphones don't fold flat.
The bottom line: The Philips O'Neill The Stretch TR 55LX get a birdie for design but only hit par for sound quality.
