They don’t last a year bad product I will never buy any Dr. The footbed is NOT the same. These and my HD650s and possibly my DT880s are the standard by which I measure all other headphones. (There is danger here too, however, dont listen with these in a situation where you need to hear your surroundings! Amazing product! Most of the time it works really well. My silicone case wouldn’t work with wireless charging and was so annoying. The Alarm is easy to set and you can choose from preset sounds like ambient forest sounds to Ocean waves or Birds and more - OR your music, radio station or simple buzzer. The sound quality is excellent. A good fit and really comfortable from the start.
