Regarding which way you put the headphones on -- they do in fact have L and R labels (although it's hard to see the letters). The L side has three protruding vertical bumps (braille?) which is an easy way to identify it.

Well thank you for letting me know! I didn't even notice that. I hope wasn't a reason for you to vote the review unhelpful.

Excellent review. It hits all the points, not too long, not too short, and articulate. Also, I agree about the 10 feet of cord being a bit excessive.

Well thank you sir! I'm glad you found the review helpful. :-)

Elaborate on the sound quality. What about pumping basses or high pitches?

The sound quality is good. The headphones allow you to really hear separate instruments and the bass isn't overwhelming even when you have the bass turned all the way up. I don't listen to high-pitched music, so I cannot speak to that.

The reason my review does not focus on sound quality is because that is not my area of expertise, nor even the thing I am most concerned about with a pair of headphones. Comfort comes first with me, always.

Just for the record, the sound in the left ear of my headphones went out for no reason, and I had to send them back to the company for a replacement at my own expense. I am going to switch brands again if this next pair does the same. And I expect that it will. I've learned not to expect a long life from affordable headphones.
