I use these headphones primarily at my computer which in turn I use for watching films, web browsing, working, music etc.
I have not read all the other reviews but am surprised to see that no one has noted the most irritating feature of these headphones:
If you leave them on with no signal coming in for more than a minute or two, they start "seeking" for a signal. This begins with a drop from the nice, clean channel to radio static, this is then promptly followed by a succession of 5 or 6 really, really loud and agravating beeps as the headphones search for an input signal.
Take for example basic web browsing. Maybe you listen to a clip on Youtube or Amazon, then get sidetracked by some written text - if you have not given the earphones a signal within a minute or two, these extremely loud beeps will blast into your space! It becomes so annoying that I have thrown my headphones off across the room at times. If you leave them idle for too long, they shut down which is just as irritating.
Abstractly, this may seem a small point but just you wait, you will be smashing them on your desktop just to get them to shut up every few minutes they beep in your ear!
Who needs yet another over-thought device to add yet more stress to your life? Earphone time is supposed to be relax time!
PS - when running, they are fine.
