thanks! For the price, its acceptable. However, I think these may have prevented my injury. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the microphone doesn?t fully mute in the upright position. Theyre probably not the best choice for TV binge watching, or long video gaming sessions. Only down side is the cap isn?t secure and it could possibly pop off or get lost Do think about buying a model with a cover if you want to work on ongoing projects. The only thing I would say is get a step ladder when you start packing it with suitcases and duffle bags! The lightness is what I assume the Bose bashers are talking about when they talk about Bose making cheap feeling products. I bought it in 14W to wear at close friends wedding.
