I was looking for a headset that worked for music and talk. Something cordless so i can move around. This headset is pretty close to being "perfect". The sound is great, really clear, & volume has a great range, not muffled in the least, in fact sometimes i find myself turning the volume down because it's so clear and sharp. The mic sounds great too, very clear, super sound. So happy with that, because good mics are hard to find. (None of the online vids i saw that played mics do it justice for some reason, it's way better.) I use it for work at my computer, including calls, but also for recreational use, like movies or music. Not a gamer though. I would have liked the mic to be detachable, but it does fold up out of my face up alongside the headband which is good. Folding up the mic also puts it on mute. It's bendy and move around-able so you can move it closer or further away from your mouth however you need. Pretty comfortable and i can wear them for long periods w/out really "noticing" they are there. The ear pieces are soft and the underside of the headband is soft too. The first few times or so wearing them they weren't super comfortable though, so like new shoes they probly need to get worn into your movements and positioning. I have a small head so they aren't real tight on me, if i bend down they'll move around, but normal adult sized heads should fit good. They are chargeable and cordless, which i love. I'm free to get up, move around, walk down the hall.... the reach of this headset is pretty good. I've never had an issue having them not work while in another room. I also liked the flatter shape of the ear pieces. Not huge, protruding pieces i have to be careful of bumping into. I wouldn't say they have noise cancelling ear pieces, but they have the fabric variety, which i've learned allow more sound to move through as opposed to the leatherette kind that don't let sound in from the outside, so you may be able to get the leather covers for them if you need that. I like to have an idea of what's going on around me. It does block out the loudness of sounds, but you can still hear generally speaking, what is happening in the room. The mic seems to block out unnecessary sounds though, so that's nice. The one thing that i hate... is it has an auto turn off, after about 20 min. or so. There's no way to disable it that i know of, and this headset isn't yet compatible w/ the website to download and adjust settings for it. So if there is no sound coming through for a while, it shuts off, and then when a call comes in, it's completely silent and you wouldn't know it unless you looked at the dongle and saw it flashing red. It's so annoying. If it weren't for that i would have given these 5 stars because otherwise they are great. And finding something with a mic as good as its earphones is hard enough. If you're using it just for gaming or music you probly wouldn't have an issue w/ that though. The construction and design of these is great though too, they adjust easily and hold well. No wires, no snags, very versatile but not as expensive as others i've seen. Different in that the mic is on the left side, but doesn't interfere with their use. It may actually be beneficial if you're right handed because it's out of the way more. Oh, and i've gone a cpl days with them on for 8 hrs+ each day without charging and they have never died on me. I usually plug them in after work, but there have been a few times i haven't and never had an issue. I definitely recommend them. :D
