I'm buying these to replace mine of the same model. I've had them for probably 6 or 7 years and they've finally started to give out. That's eons for a pair of >$20 headphones. The sound's been great - it's not going to compare to high end products, but it's the best I've found for the price range. I've worn them for hours at a time without any discomfort and fallen asleep with them on several times without breaking them or hurting myself. They're really awesome headphones and I loved them so much that I'm buying them again.
