Review:
Once I was able to make the wire hold the headphones to my ears I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality of these headphones. I found that once I got them in place the only way I could keep them there was to hold my head very still, and a sudden move or turning my head would allow them to peel off and fall down on my shoulders. I will be returning them to the merchant I bought them too because this problem overshadows the excellent quality of the sound.
