Having bought phonak that after one year unleashed me (the right earpiece not working once 3) despite cleaning, false contacts search attempt .... I fell back on headphones cheap thinking that even if they leave me after a year it would not matter. But I was afraid that the sound quality is not the appointment despite the claims of Internet users, but it reassures you, I am fully satisfied! I do not regret my phonak who were known for their audio quality, certainly the quality is lower but still more than adequate playing a bit of EQ. For the quality / price I recommend the eyes closed and I am very satisfied. Do not hesitate if you are looking for compact headphones, simple, comfortable and good sound quality. PS indeed the cable is fine, but be careful on the one hand he still looks solid and in general this is not what farts first ^^
