The cord isn?t very long but it works ok for me as my table is close to an outlet. Her books are deceptively easy to read, and she does not make mistakes with British titles. You can force them into the wrong ear, but its definitely more comfortable if you get it right. They cable doesn?t feel as thick as my original one does, so I didn?t expect them to be as good. The microphone is very clear with good noise cancelling. I bought the "standard" size and they fit perfectly. Some were a bit mixed up, but that is because the box is filled so full. None of them turn on or charge at all, even directly connected to the PS4. Nice soft smell. Less expensive some of the others I?ve seen.
