More durable than the ones with a screen bottom.  At first the lid didn't stay closed, and it actually got caught in the keurig.  But once I realized I have to press it down until it holds, things were fine.  Before getting these, I had gotten some different ones - black with screen bottoms - but they had a small part on the top of the cup that over time came off making the cup useless.  So these get 5 stars for the fact that they make good coffee, and they are made to last.

They are fine.

But here's some hard-won advice - none of the "bananas" were fully screwed in when I got them.  None of them.  Fortunately I already knew that this often happens, so I made sure to screw them tight.  But newbies beware!

Also, the silver part is slippery smooth, so you have to grip them by the oval hole to tighten them properly.  Not a problem, but worth pointing out.

You CAN slip the wire through the hole in the back, but I think you will do better by putting it through the big oval hole, as you will have more wire in there and the strands are secured much better. Just be sure to trim off any excess wire so you don't somehow create a short.

Oh - did I mention that you only do these connections with the amplifier turned OFF?

I am sorry. They looked nice online. Had them shipped to my main address in Georgia. I am in NY until late May.

I got these in May and the right channel just stopped working in September. Before that, they were okay as a pair of low end headphones for my laptop and stereo. Buy at your own risk. If you don't demand perfect sound quality (I'm not exactly an audiophile, either), these are decent. If they hold up. Otherwise, if you want something of greater quality and that is likely to be a better investment, you should be willing to part with more cash for a better pair, or look for cheaper low end pairs.

Thanks! I received the grips, they were a bit dirty , but clean and were fine.

I've had no problems! I purchased these in December and they have done just fine! Well worth the cost!!! If u can be a tad patient with waiting a couple days to recieve ur part rather than picking it up in the store the same day at almost twice the cost, I'd say wait!

Probably would be fine, but they arrived with several broken and I could not find a way to get the broken ones replaced. I returned them and ordered something else.

Not much to be said about these. The sound is fine. Very good for the price. Durability? Sure, they seem to be fairly durable, I guess. Comfortable? NO. The foam pads on the speakers are almost wafer thin and do almost nothing to cushion your ears from the hard speaker underneath. I put them on for the first time and was OK with them for about 20 minutes before my ears started to hurt. The next day I tried them again and couldn't even wear them for more than 6 or 7 minutes. They sound fine but what's the point of headphones that you can only wear comfortably for little more than 5 minutes???? They also fit a bit too tight as well and grip my head a bit much[my head isn't all that big, either].

Yet another example of how a once great electronic company[that would be Sony] went and got bigger than they used to be and decided they could skim on quality since their name is almost everywhere anyway. Last great Sony product I can remember having was a Discman. Anyone remember when those came out?

They are okay... I've had one break under moderate load, so now I'm nervous about tightening the belts any further.  I'll be looking for metal ones to replace these, if I can find them.

While they worked, the sound was decent.

I purchased a set of these headphones in October of 2013.  The right side speaker started to get scratchy  in June 2014. You guys probably know the sound - that wire disconnecting, then reconnecting sound. By July 2014 both earpieces/speakers were completely broken.

$70 headphones that didn't even last 10 months.

Ok, it happens.  I contacted NOCs for warranty repair, and filled out the online form.  They told me it needed to be shipped to Sweden, to make sure it was a manufacturers defect.  The cheapest cost to ship to Sweden from the US is ~$38!
So, you have to pay $38 *more* to get a functioning set of headphones?!

I asked if I could ship to the Chicago office listed on their website.  They said no.

My recommendation is not to bother with NOCs headphones unless you are prepared to throw them away in a year.

This was my second pair of Bluetooth headphones, bought specifically for use while running. And they were doing a pretty decent job, with good sound, relatively long battery life, and an alright fit (though I did cannibalise a part from my previous pair to make them fit better, this have may have been because I do a lot of off-road/mountain running with, consequently, a bit more jarring).

Then. They stopped. I'd been out running, and went to skip ahead one track, but accidentally hit both the fwd and back buttons simultaneously. Track didn't skip forward, and ALL buttons suddenly became unresponsive, I couldn't turn it off, adjust volume, change tracks, nothing. Finally, I switched the Bluetooth connection off via my Android tablet. I charged the Headphones, thinking that the USB connection might jog something loose, but to no avail, now they won't turn on. They do light up while charging, but that's it. Kaput.

So, I kinda recommend them. But don't hit both fwd and back buttons simultaneously!

Took a while for them to arrive, but they worked fine.

They seem fine, just started using them. Comparable to some I liked very much but are no longer available.

Earbud tips provided with the headphones get loose over time (~3-4 months). Eventually, one of the tips got stuck in my ear canal when removing the headphone. Very close to having to go to the Emergency Room to get it extracted. My wife was able to coax it out with tweezers. Contacted Jaybird support, they refuse to help. There's no ridge on the earbuds that hold the tip in place. I returned these.

All that said, they sound fine. Battery life is fine, never really had them die on me charging every few days. I had connection issues with mine with an iPhone 7+, but it seems like the 7+ has poor bluetooth anyway.

They're okay.  Haven't had any issues with them.  But for some reason I don't like using them much and prefer a different set I have.

They were a little fragile and some were broken upon arrival but otherwise they were fine.
