IF I used these for music: are they durable; do they sound good; do they light up when listening to music on a phone?

The good news is that with the detachable 3.5mm headphone jack, these are great sounding (if BIG and noticeable) headphones. The bad news is, they do not light up; in fact you don't even have to power them on to use them with the analog connector, they just work like passive, unpowered headphones or earbuds.Mine also began cracking after a few weeks of use. The construction feels pretty sturdy, but there are some design/manufacturing flaws with at least the plastic housing on the top headband.

They will only light up if you turn them on but not if you use the 3.5 mm headphone jack. They do sound good when you use the regular headphone jack and they sound even better when you turn them, connect the usb transmitter to your phone and use the base mode.

They are very useful for running. This is actually my second pair of these. Which is kind of a testiment that I would go back to the same exact pair. That is actually the reason I picked these up b/c the earbuds drove me insane. They will not fall off and they are also sweat resistant. I guess I didn't encounter the fact that they are not very durable I mean as long as you take care of them you will get a good year or two or more out of them. Hope this helps.

I use them on my lap top and they are loud. My 24 old son listens to them on his phone and the sound is awesome. You can't go wrong.

I hadn't tried them until today and found that they do work, however, it is very picky with how it is pushed into the phone. You can hear the other person and they can hear you only if you play with the plug in. I use these just for listening to music at work. I would not recommend them if you are looking to use them to talk on your phone, however, great sound if you are using for music. I hope this helps you!

I can't say since I've used them only for listening to vinyl or CD's for an hour or two at each sitting. I believe that for a closed pad style phone they are very comfortable but I am thinking back to the days of the heavy closed phones by Koss or Superex which were very uncomfortable. What is your priority; good sound or comfort? If comfort is your priority you might want a smaller semi-closed type headphone. If you can compromise these are a fine choice. As others have said, expect these to improve in sound - a more balanced response - over time.

Hello Deb, I own a mobile DJ company, and we use these for up lighting against walls, and they are more than bright enough to do this. I don't know how exactly you plan on using these, but there are brighter one's, and I would recomend spending the extra $20.00 per light if you plan on using them for anything else than up lighting. Hope this helps, and answers your question. Craig

I bought mine many months ago and they still work. I have learned to be gentle with earphones, because I really got tired of having to continually buy new ones. Just don't be rough and they should last a while.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

They sound really good and most of the time the connection is flawless, but it is not infallible. For example, when using them at home, if I turn run my microwave to heat something up, it causes significant cut outs while running. This is similar to how microwaves used to interfere with older cordless phones (prior to them 5.0+ GHz phones now common). That's the worst of it. Also, if you try to stray too far away from your bluetooth source, it will start to have cut outs periodically.

They have good built-in mic. I use them for both music and call. Worth to buy.

Probably. I've never tested to see how sturdy they are, but the materials are thick, and they seem pretty durable. As long as they don't get crushed by anything heavy, they should be fine. If you're worried about them getting broken, you might want to try ear buds instead. They may not last as long overall (probably 1-2 years) but they're pretty hard to break, and they're much cheaper.

No, they are for phone calls only. Good product, but not for listening to music through the phone.

I have used them for over 5 hours in night clubs with blaring music. I am able to have a conversation and no one even notices that I have them in my ears. My ears are small and they fit comfortably. The sound gets in nicely and it sounds great. I have never tried them while on the phone. Hope this helps.

We have had them for 3 months. Use them for snowmobiling and yes they are worth the money. They are compatible to our iPhones to listen to music as we ride and to communicate if one travels farther then the communication range.

Yes they do light up. It can show you how to play a song, or just light up when you push the key.

Yes, I recommend then, specially for movies. They look good, they are sturdy and the sound is great.
