I have had these Bang & Olufsen headphones for over four years now and it seems that they have just started to act up from all the abuse over the years. They have been my riding head phones for that whole period, I never started listening to music while I ride only since getting these head phones and they have been excellent. The sound quality is very good with decent base, and very little distortion, and the clip around the ear keeps it in place. I’m thinking about trying other headphones, but I’m also thinking about buying the same pair since they are available. With the current ones my right side isn’t functioning and the left side disconnects every once in a while, so I have to find a replacement soon.
