Criteria Comments Rating
  • Sound quality For $99, the sound quality is extremely good. They have a nice bass kick that isn't too overpowering. Overall impressive sound. great!
  • Design and form factor The design is very attractive and sleek. Many color options available. They look like Beats by Dre Solos, except much more durable. good
  • Comfort Overall, they are very comfortable to wear. Since they are on-ear phones, they may become uncomfortable after long periods of time, but otherwise no complaints. good
  • Noise isolation At modest volume, people near me could hear my music. With them around my neck, they were mini speakers (though that's expected). Not a big deal for me, though. so-so
  • Durability The headband can be twisted, bent, and the like and not be affected at all. Additionally, the drivers can slide off and all cables are replaceable. Very nice. great!
Detailed review
Other notes:

> These currently retail for $99. A great price if you ask me.

> The cable is kind of cumbersome and prone to tangling, and up to the microphone piece, is quite thick. When rubbed against clothing it can produce some muffles, but not nearly as much as some other headphones I've tried.

> They're fingerprint magnets. Nothing the quick swipe of a cloth can't fix.

> No carrying case. I mention this because the slightly higher end model, the Tracks HD ($129), includes one.

> At time of writing (December 2011), these aren't available internationally yet. If that makes a difference.
