I gifted these headphones to my 17 year old son and he was over the moon happy with them! He wears them rested on his neck most the day while not in use. He loves them so much he's afraid to set them down. He said they are amazing quality and a great value. They perform as said to and are the most comfortable headphones with the best sound he's ever owned. He uses them for everything. He was really careful with them at first but as he became less guarded about them we discovered that they are extremely durable as well. I'll never forget how excited he was to recieve these so I believe them to be an awesome gift idea!
