I just used it for 3 months. Everything was good but suddenly it got a problem. When its wire twisted from the the volume controller it sound changes awkwardly. I think this is because of the strip like wire, if it was round like normal then it can be good. Otherwise the design is my favorite. The metallic buds really gives you feel of the durable looking design. First I was thinking that the wire was good and strong but it can easily damaged by small stretch done accidentally while moving head. So I think if the wire connecting the buds can be little longer than it can be even more good earphone. Base sound is awesome but it disrupts when the headphone jack moves little bit. If the jack can be normal straight then it will good because the jack will not spin too much.
