Great Headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset is amazing. I got them mainly to use when I’m flying. The south’s crystal clear and the noise canceling feature works very well. Totally worth the $$$.
