With two sons, someone always needs a pair of headphones, I purchased these for myself, but anticipate donating to one of them before I need them. (Mine tend to not get lost or broken.) I will probably hide these, since they are comfortable. (the buds that come on them are medium, but small and large buds are included.) I did not turn the volume on my ipod up all the way, but the speakers sound great and produce a crisp, clean sound. I don't use the microphone, but it is there if needed. The song forward button is great for listening to music. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend. #Ecounteur #Sponsored #RankBoosterReviews
