hi I'm David Connelly executive editor at cnet.com and I'm here with the keffe M 500 headphones in case you've never heard of keffe it's a British company that makes premium speakers but now it's entered the headphone market with a couple of models the first thing I'll say about this headphone is it's one of the most comfortable on-air models I've tested it has memory foam in the ear pads and those pads rests nicely on your ears sealing out a decent amount of ambient noise without feeling too snug I also like the way they look they have a sleek modern design they also appear to have excellent build quality with a lightweight aluminum frame and caps multi-directional smart hinge which allows you to lay the headphones flat or fold them up for storage and they're included carrying case along with that carrying case you get two detachable cords one of which has an integrated remote / microphone for cell phone use both cores have a flat tangle resistant design and I liked how they connect to the headphones on the back side of the aluminum frame I caught the cable on a door handle on the cable detached from the headphone without incident which is a good sign for these holding up well over time this model has bigger base than keps in-ear m200 headphone and while I prefer the sound of the M 200 s the m5 hundreds are still quite good they're well balanced accurate open headphones that offer good detail and are pleasant to listen to for long periods while they may not have the body you know that fullness of sound to take you into the Wow's own they're very likeable headphones and when you factor in their combination of strong design and comfort level they make for an excellent set of everyday headphones that work well with a variety of music at $300 they may not be a bargain but neither are most 300 hour headphones and at least these have aluminum not plastic frames around them I'm David Karl and those are the kept em 500 headphones thanks for watching
