    This was for my brother-in-law. He prefers to have just one ear covered when he is in the group of friends playing a game. He finds it to be very comfortable. He uses it all of the time.

    It works well, but I would be better if it had stereo sound coming out of the one earpiece.

    I would give this headset 0 stars if possible. It is nearly impossible to hear any other players through this headset. Also, it is very uncomfortable.

    My husband wanted a communicator, but also wears glasses and doesn't like things to rub. These seem to fit the bill so far. Good sound and comfortable. What else could you ask for?

    The best thing about this headset is how it doesn't form a seal around your ear. It keeps it open so air can flow through and you it doesn't get hot around your ear!
