Powerful audio performance with deep bass response and crisp highs. Comfortable on-ear design. Audio cable included for passive, wired listening
Comfortable, Pleasant (though not particularly accurate) sound

Reviewers Didn't Like

Hinges/adjusting resistance, Jog wheel controls, Looks aren't for everyone
Clunky multifunction button, Uncomfortable fit after a few hours
Possibly the worst volume control we've encountered. Bass-heavy sound signature is not for purists. Meager accessories for the price
Scratchy connection between cable and headphones, High list price for the features
