The tines being advertised so mainly because of the great cable. I also like it very well and works great! Nor do I have a feeling that the bush could medium suffer from plugging. Also in terms of comfort, I like the listener well. But I'm wearing glasses and as such it shows quite some pressure, because the headphones are anything but easy ...
Since I also have a lot compared to the last few months, the headphones also other candidates had to face, of which I now own two: the AKG Q460 is more expensive, noisier but also really really strong in the sound. My personal favorite. In this league the tines plays (albeit barely) not with. The Koss Porta Pro is the price unbeatable, but in my opinion an almost superior sound, but almost no shielding from the outside world.
Conclusion: the prongs has a price reasonable sound with decent ergonomics. Electronic music lovers will find great favor!
