Ugliness factor beets out the other name brand too. I was totally stunned that it went on WITHOUT ANY USE OF FORCE. Prendre sa poiture. They seem to be very comfortable but the back strap is alittle hard. Ok, disclaimer these were not the easiest to assemble and we bought two. Fatto. I purchased them because I wore my other two out. I have gone through a lot of different headphones from true wireless like these (soo many) and a few of the same non true wireless/ wireless Bluetooth style ones like from Bose. Comfy footwear I own several MXL LDC microphones which always need work to sound great, Ive replaced the diaphragms in five MXL 2001 and use these on drum toms.
