I'm not a regular on this helmet style (I was more used in-ear earphones) but I must say I was pleasantly impressed. There are no sizzle even when pushing the volume up (I still stopped at the edge of suportable for my eardrums). The design is nice. I do not think that plastics will age well, but in this price range, there's really nothing wrong. Unlike other reviews, I do not think the headband snaps when shakes his head. Special mention for Amazon prices still cheaper than other online marketers or not ... and super fast shipping times.
