I purchased these headphones as I write and record music in my bedroom using the computer. I didn't want to invest in a really expensive pair so I opted for these. For the price I expected the headphones to fall apart after a few days, however these have lasted me for over a year of everyday use. The quality of these headphones are superb as well, they don't sound like a cheap pair at all. If you are looking for some good quality headphones for a cheap price I'd say these are the best headphones around at the moment.
