I will start off by saying these headphones were the worst things I could have bought. I had owned two sets of these within the past eight months. The first set stopped working after about two weeks as they were assembled wrong in the factory and one of the speaker wires got pinched during assembly. During my usage the wire eventually broke and the speaker stopped working. The second set didnt work right out of the box as one of the speakers was completely blown. I wont waste my money on another Kicker product ever again. They used to be a reliable Stereo Equipment company but they definitely stopped caring years ago. I guess, what can I say if its made in China or Mexico it is an expensive piece of dung anyway. Especially if it has the name of Kicker. Some day people in this Country will start caring about where there products are made and take a stand. Buy an American made product, I did. Sure it cost a little more but hey at least they still work and the speakers sound great!
