Comes in black, green or blue. Battery lasts 12 hours. Charges your phone. More affordable than similarsize Bluetooth speakers. Small, easy to carry

Real recycled wood, Not Dyed, Fantastic audio experience, Comfortable, Lightweight, Collapsable, Removable Headphone Cable with vinyl wrapping and inline ControlTalk with microphone
Headband isn't so durable and adjustable notches quickly loosen, No volume on ControlTalk, Light on noise isolation
