I have a hard time spending this much on a pair of headphones which probably need to be replaced in a few years because the batteries may not hold the charge any more. I bought my wife a pair of the Beats X (I think that was the name) and 2 years ago they cost I believe $159.99 Canadian. The price has dropped a bit now, but in any case, now they are useless because they won't charge any more and of course after 2 years they are out of warranty. My wife was always very careful when plugging in the Lightning cable to charge them, but apparently either not careful enough or they are poorly designed so the connector wore out in which case that is too bad because I think even $99 US is a pretty good price. I have a pair of Sennheiser basic wired on the ear headsets which I think I must have bought at least 10 years ago for around $70 Canadian and they are still going strong even though I use them every single day.

There are quite a number of product reviews on these so if you just Google, you'll get a variety of varied reviews, mostly positive though.
