These are good budget headphones. The sound quality is
good. The connectivity is good. The battery life is good.
They provide very good value for the price. I use them
with my Galaxy S22 when traveling. They also work well
when using the fitness room, or on a walk.

Excellent set of budget headphones. I use them with my
"new" Galaxy S22 phone. They provide good stereo sound, that is considerably better than that from the
speakers of the phone. They drain the battery of the
phone far less than the phone speakers, or than using
bluetooth headphones. They deliver very good value.

This monitor is excellent for editing photos and slides.
It has incredibly accurate color rendition right out
of the box. It has an aspect ratio of 16:10, which is
better for processing my photos and slides than the
usual 16:9 aspect ratio. The 24 inch screen is perfect
for my work. Its 1920X1200 resolution is well matched
to my work needs. To top it all off it provides a built in
4 port usb hub, as well as a stand that has a remarkable
degree of positioning capability.

I strongly recommend this monitor to those editting
photos and slides.
