“Product Quality:Superb as expected! Best Feature:Sound quality! Performance:Just perfect! Love this! I’ll buy another one! Will get all the colors! 😍 I removed two stars against the Product Quality aspect as I noticed a tear in the right earpad just after less than an hour of use. Check out the pic. I have a gazillion other headphones and this never happened at all!”
