Not great for sneaking back into the office after jotting out for a lunch break swim which took a little longer than the allotted lunchbreak time. However this bench had one review so I took a chance based on that review which was good. I had the Fiil T1X and T1XS previously and was hoping to get T1 Pros for the noise cancelling. Other than that stick with the M3s, save some money. but then that keeps pulling up. 3 stars. experimented with different positions but preferred it as the close mike near where the fretboard joins the body and pointed at the hole with the omni-directional functioning more as a room mike set about 12 to 18 inches back. For the price, these were a fantastic buy. Not much sole on the bottom. Would highly recommend this product.
