It was as if it was a miracle. I'm not saying they will change your life, well, maybe I am. It depends on what you've been using in the past. I had tried in ear ear buds, even, because I figured the closer they were to my ear drums the better I'd be able to hear what they were saying in the recording. These sit softly just outside your ear canal but somehow project the sound perfectly. I wish I could describe it better. I also wish I had found these earlier, they would have saved me months of headaches. The feedback from the other headsets and earbuds I had been using caused almost daily migraines, these are heaven sent.
The volume button on the cable is a bit heavy and tends to pull on the set a bit, I just make sure that I have it clipped to something close enough to my shoulder that the cable weight due to the volume control doesn't bother me too much. After a while it got to where I didn't notice it at all.
This is important because I transcribe and listening to my audio files for several hours a day with this headset on made my ears hurt so bad and gave me headaches.
The sound quality is good, which was sad because I just couldn't let them keep irritating my ears. They weren't great, though.So, don't expect amazing clarity, I've had some skull candy earbuds that were just as good.
I did notice sometimes these randomly got louder or quieter and my audio files never do that. The person may become louder but not the sound itself. It was as if there was a short in the wire. It's difficult to describe but I can say I wouldn't buy this set again. I tried it because I wanted a better over the head, headset and this was recommended to me. I think I'm better with earbuds and headphones that completely cover your ear.
