I was a touch nervous about the comfort of this type of headphone.
I know if the sound is great you can suffer but I still was
concerned. I was pleasantly surprised that
the headphones are light and are quite comfortable to wear.
The sound was quite good.
Makes me wonder why I put up with earbuds for so long. There is a definitive base but it is not
overwhelming. I tried some Black Eyed
Peas, some Who and Pink Floyd and was pleased with the range of sound.
I also liked the outside sound dampening. The classic rock channel was on the TV and I
could not hear Credence Clearwater even with the sound on the headphones at a
low level. That is good but it does
make me wonder about all the people you see running or walking with headphones
of this type. They have to be oblivious
of any outside noise such as a rabid coyote chasing them. Of course, the volume of the music can create
the same level of oblivion which is obviously what some of them want.
I did test the microphone and did some dictation to my
email. Seemed to work just fine. The sound quality is the main reason you
would buy this headset but the comfort factor should be considered as
well. Frankly I thought this was every
bit as good as the headphones my grandson uses that cost three times this
price.
