Both of these are nice, thicker-than-your-average-cord cords. And since this is Monster we’re talking about, these are top of the line cables. judging by how often you’ll want to wear them).

But they do everything else you’d expect them to,  they could still make this. Monster…please do. The plastic these are made out of is scratch resistant. So, while you’ll obviously be gentle with these, you are safe from minor scuffs. The foam on the ear cups and on the top for head cushion is very comfortable. and some things you definitely wouldn’t. They fold up for portability and storage, and they come with a very nice black case.
