These seem to be mostly the same, but I dont remember getting blisters/callouses breaking my last ones in. The sound quality when hooking up blue tooth through the phone is great! They are super sturdy, easy to install, and they are just the look I am going for in my log cabin AirBnB. We chose the natural linen colored version which is a strong canvas style fabric. Its waterproof and has a removable hood for when you dont need it. Bass and drum heavy anthemic or electronic musicians like Imagine Dragons or Knife Party sound mostly as epic and thunderous as they should. I bought this headset to go with my new pc and for a starter headset, it is amazing! First its pink, my girl wanted a pink headphone, second, its got ears, although the ear is not functional like the one I saw from Sharper Image but it still looks cute. History and value ----- Now that I have had slippers for a while I have an additional comment. it is heavy and the sides come up close to ankle.
