Tetcommutermom
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great when listening to music and noise canceling is awesome with little kids and working from home but it is very frustrating to use on phone and conference calls I’m constantly being told I can’t be heard. I’ve adjusted the settings with only a little improvement. The only way to get good mic sound is you have to use the cord plugged into the headphones and your phone or computer which defeated the purpose when needing a wireless connection. For the price the mic should work better when on a wireless connection. My $28 wireless headphones work better for calls than this one. So don’t buy for phone calls.
