My old Radio Shack race scanner headphones had developed a short last year after 15 years of use and had to be replaced so I took a chance with these. They were not the cheapest pair on Amazon (about twice + the price of the cheapest) but not the most expensive. I don't know why, but I kinda expected them to arrive in a retail package, they didn't. They were sealed in a plastic bag and put in a shipping box with large bubbled bubble wrap. No big deal. They were well packed. Besides, I didn't buy them for the retail box, I bought them to listen to the drivers, the trackside announcer, and the public broadcast of the race. They performed very well both at delivering quality sound and blocking outside noises. The adjusting straps that go across the top of your head are of a lesser quality than I expected but they worked well and that's what matters most providing they last. The elasticized material holding the ear pads to the headphones had somewhat of a sloppy looking fit as if they were designed and made by a DIY home seamstress, but they were comfortable. The nuts and bolts that hold the headphones to the rigid spreader bar going across the back of your head are exposed and that give the headphones an unfinished look. I guess for the price I expected a better-looking product but all in all they performed well and were comfortable. Now if they only last as long as my old Radio Shack headphones.
