Beats EP Wired On-Ear Headphones (Grade A Refurbished)

I bought these a while ago when they were on sale for $50.00 which is more than I would normally pay for headphones but I've always heard great things about Beats and knew $50.00 was a great deal. Initially I was very impressed. The sound quality is amazing. However within a year, the lining around the earphone part came away from the hardware on both ears and now you can see the foam pieces underneath. And a few months ago the wire that connects to the jack has become frayed and is exposing the wiring within. They still work so I'm still using them but I have to constantly adjust the covering on the earphones. Also, when these shipped, they were not in an Amazon box so anyone walking by would be able to see what they were. About 6 months after I bought these I got the Studio 3 wireless headphones as a gift and I would say if you can afford it go with the wireless instead. Also since these are on ear, if you wear glasses, like I do, it can become uncomfortable after a while.
