Ive used these things nearly every day sense I've got them. Not only is the audio quality astonishing but they are also surprisingly durable I'll give you a few examples from 3 different lines of work Treework- I use them as hearing protection both in the lift and running the wood chipper, I've had them fall from my head at 60 feet in the air, dusted them off and kept going!

Let me start by saying these are extremely comfortable and fit well. I find it difficult to find ear buds Im not constantly readjusting to fit well in my ear. The sound quality is 5/5. It’s more balanced than you would expect for beats since they are known for their heavy bass. Don’t get me wrong though the bass is still there! The passive noise mode works great I dont even need to take them out t Chase · walmart.com
