Title: Nice idea, but not durable enough
Product review: I bought these headphones for the retractable cord to use at work. I use them probably 4 hours per day attached to my MP3 player and placed in a smock pocket. After about 6 months one side of the headphones became intermittent. I continued to live with it for a while with the idea that I'd solder a new connector on. After a few more months the noise reduction appears to have died somewhat. I tried to solder on a new connector, but found that the problem existed higher up on the retractable cord making it nearly impossible to repair.Also, my hair kept getting caught in the hinge of the headphones pulling it out on occasion. The comfort level for extended periods of time is not very good either.Next time I'm going with the Maxell NC-II pair that my wife has: cheap, very comfortable and going strong after 3 years.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
