These aren't really my style and they are heavier than expected, but that doesn't ding the quality of the item. They are more punk rock and give that feeling of when you see ppl with expanders in their ears. They are heavy, so you may need to get a better backing, or they will tilt under and look odd. A large round flat back fixed the issue for me. If this is your style and you get a different back, you will probably love them.
