Best headphones ever
After much research, I decided these were the best headphones and the best value available. They are American made and the open design adds an ambience to music that has to be heard to be appreciated. Very comfortable and I can enjoy hours of music without fatigue. Hard to believe these were available for under $100. Highly recommend them for anyone that wants to discover details in music that were not heard before.
