They sound fine, the round ear cups don't fit my big ears well, so something a bit more oblong is what I'm currently looking for. It's the quality that I'm upset about. Like I stated in my original post, the head band is cheap and it tears, just a poor design I'd say. Since they are out of warranty there is nothing Casio will do about them even though this is my second pari with the exact same issue, so I'm done with Casio for headphones.
