Great product, as long as you dont wear it all day
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought numerous over the ear head sets and took them all back and finally settled on this one. If you do not have to wear it more than an hour or two, it's perfect. However, I was using it for remote work and found that after wearing it 5-7 hours daily for several days in a row, I had to stop wearing it due to some tenderness and pain around my ear and head. I gave it to my step son and he LOVES it, but he don't wear it as long as I did.

Get it . but also get the best buy warranty.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So good I bought it twice. . The only thing i would have to say though is be careful with the earcups... they can twist and break which can be super annoying. Def recommend getting the two year extension plan from best buy,.
