Review: Better than average but by no means perfect

Haven't owned wooden headphones before. It's a cool idea that looks great and sounds pretty good. I tested them out playing songs from my Kindle Fire HD for a little over an hour listening mostly to classic rock and "anthems" where I could got distinct separation between the right and left channels. The high end of the range sounds fantastic but it doesn't have nearly as much bass as I would have expected from the product description. Also, they really do nothing to cut out background noise. While the ear "cup" is quite comfortable, the set itself is on the heavy side and got progressively uncomfortable to wear over time regardless of what I did to adjust them. It's useful to able to disconnect the cord from the headset, either to untangle or potentially even to replace it if something breaks. Speaking of broken, I thought the button didn't work, but that's only with my Kindle. On my phone it works fine--click once to pause and twice to skip to the next song. Overall, while I'd rate them a keeper I'll almost certainly stick with ear buds for most applications.
