I use these for conference call, voice quality is good. The zipper could be a little more sturdy but no other complaints from me. You can see its much more clear. If you like rayon, you know there?s the really light/thin version and the heavier/thicker version; this is the heavy one. It is meant for gaming after all. My great grandson was very happy with the crocs. More importantly to me, it came off easily, and went back on very easily again. ? Depending on the type of noise (or in quiet locations), you may not notice the noise-cancelling effect. I adjust each side one by one to get the cups over my ears. A little on the heavy side.
