But for my sons needs, and others where this type of head phone doesnt bother them they are a great buy! I wish I would of known they are running large. When I got them up and running I could only use them at just above half volume or they started skipping. I normally would buy a large but bought an XL. Item arrives defective. I love Starbucks coffee but I have given this sale 1 star because they are SELLING OUT OF DATE PRODUCT. They provide me with just the right amount of support I need and remain comfortable all day long. Just used it in my garage gym for hip thrusts and am quite impressed. I was really impressed with this book. This is a great pair of headphones that I would suggest anyone get.
