  I love their headphones. Sound is really good, but build leaves something to be desired, cause I've had 3 of them (Ink'd series) in the last year alone, the earpiece would break off for no reason. I guess you get what you pay for.

  In my experience, this headphone brand is junk.

I have no idea which product you are buying but what headphone on this planet actually comes with a full warranty including breakage. You get what you pay for and for the price these are awesome. I have nothing but good to say about this company.
