The price at the beginning was a little dampened but I do not regret this purchase. Good balance of sound, comfort and durability headphones. I appreciate his strength, I who tend to abuse the equipment. The exoskeleton is really a detail which shows the worries. The headphones, though small ear insulate well from external noise, and no movement discomfort when they are folded around the neck. A very very nice product. Definitely worth the price and I hope it will last longer than my old helmet W..C I find very poor in comparison.
