FRENDS Layla Rose Gold

I love these headphones. I've avoided the rose gold trend that's gripped the fashion world in the past couple of years because I didn't want items that looked dated. But these were too cute to pass up. Besides, they're not as rosy as most rose gold items, because they have a very nice bronze undertone.So, to be frank, I was going to get these based solely on the way they look. And I love that I still get compliments on them. But, even I realised this was a lot of money to drop purely on aesthetics. So while in an Apple store in the US, I tried them out and was pleasantly surprised by how awesome the sound quality is. I've previously owned Beats. Sennheiser, Bose and B&O headphones. The Bose would be the only ones with noticeably better quality. But they were chunky and masculine looking. Related to the sound quality these are demi-noise-cancelling. When I'm listening to music at work (so not loud as I don't want sound to leak and disturb y colleagues) people have to yell or physically shake me to get my attention because it's hard for sound to get through. To that end, they are a godsend on flights.The only downside, and the reason that this is my second pair, is that if you're like me and you shove your phone/player in your pocket while it's playing, or when you're not using your headphones you just shove them in your bag willy nilly to get caught on other items so you have to tug to release them, then the wire by the jack will inevitably get bent in a way where it stops functioning properly. After a year of this treatment, my first pair stopped playing music in one ear and then the remote stopped working. I suppose I should give it less than 5 stars for this, but to be honest I've yet to find a pair of headphones that last more than a year with me because I'm too impatient to take care of/store them properly. So it seems silly for me to knock off a star to put off people who are probably more careful with how they treat their headphones than I am. Especially since these are all around the best pair I've ever owned.

I had heard good things about these, and was initially very pleased with them. BUTThe delivery took very long to arrive (4+ weeks), and the sound quality is ok. It is not as good as the basic apple ear pods, which gives you a comparison.Lifetime? I received this in early July, one side stopped working in October, and they have stopped working all together as of today. It hasn't even been 6 months and I have taken good care of these headphones, keeping them in their case and being careful with them.It's not worth the money at all- I saved up for months to get these, and I now regret it immensely. The quality doesn't even do the price justice- the metal paintwork started chipping away at the peak of the disc, so now they don't even look attractive.

These were a key present my daughter wanted for Christmas. Very stylish but didn't last long as she broke them after several months as slept in them. Expensive for what they were as she broke them.

Really lovely item super stylishNot convinced the sound is amazing or better than your usual in ear iPhone earphones but the quality is nice and they come in a nice pouch - definitely a girls gadget!

Great headphones for style, not that great for sound quality, but depends who you're buying for! My girlfriend loved them but preferred the bigger ones - the Taylors - as these ones only cover the ear and don't look quite as good!

Love these! Good sound quality although can't have music playing too loudly as the sound does leak. The cable gets very twisted so you need to take care of these and also the white ear pads do pick up the colour from my make up. Otherwise I love them, they are very comfortable, look great and the case is very convenient

They're a showstopper BUT they're not really comfortable. I wish I had gone for the Taylor model.Also, their Left/Right and speaker are the opposite of Apple's earphones, which doesn't make much sense to me.

Love the earphones, but did slip off ears often. Also the enclosed pouch was black & not white to match the headphones as described when purchasing. Nayalie
