Pros: The Trooper is just that, having been built to last. With rubber and plastic construction they are both durable and sweat-proof. A dial goes all the way round the right ear cushion, so volume adjustment is easy. They’re collapsible, so good for frequent travellers.
Cons: There’s no phone compatibility on these, and you can only turn down your music, not pause it. To do that, or to skip songs, you’ll have to venture into your pocket.
