One of the latest trends to have struck the MP3 market is the fad that people seem to have towards so-called fashion headphones. The market is expanding at such a rapid pace that more and more companies are taking discerning steps to exploit it. One of the latest products exclusively aimed at this very segment is the WeSC Bongo Art Marok pair of Headphones, and it is to be seen whether it manages to earn the type of popularity and acceptance enjoyed by Skull Candy.

The product has a solid build quality, and is made of chunky metal headband and earcup brackets, while the omnipresent nature of enduring plastic is also easily visible. However, the WESC Marok Bongo headphones’ padding on the earcups may not be to your liking as it is neither very deep or for that matter luxurious, and is plastic coated instead of leather. Then, you will also rue the fact that the headband is left unprotected which may cause you some discomfort.

The headphone is bereft of any adapters or converters, but it is not much of an issue considering that headphones like the one in question are frequently used with MP3 players, and as such the standard stereo 3.5mm jack plug decked with the unit is more than enough to provide you the necessary compatibility. The good thing about the plug is that it is 1st gen iPhone compatible and consequently you have few worries about it becoming outdated.

The comfort level of the device, barring a few glitches, can be considered satisfactory. The same though cannot be said about the unit’s sound quality which for the major part is matter of scrutiny. Finally, the WESC Marok Bongo headphones are in no way a substitute for class products from high-end manufacturers like Grado, Sennheiser, Shure, and AKG, among others. But given its cheap price there is not much that you can complain as well!
