I be very please with the quality and well balanced sound . the padding on the head band and ear piece be soft , supple , and comfortable . my only negative be the huge size of the earpiece and the large pyle letter in the outside of each . I choose these after return a set of Kensingtons , for the purpose of music during mow my lawn . the over ear headpiece and noise canceling do a excellent job . I can still hear a very low level of exterior sound , but that would be the case with any set . again , on the sound , clean clear high and very nicely balanced mid and just the right amount of bass for I . a great value overall !
