Hello,

I use this headset for 6 months in intensive use. That is, I have it on the ears about 6 hours per day. I am a gardener so very exposed to noise and outside.

In short, it's a headphone very efficient in terms of sound (about-22dB) but use an MP3 player, attention to max volume output, the headphone impedance is important. The reader must be able to leave a good level so that it can still be heard in case of constant noise.

Regarding the cable, it can be quite short in music use. And the output of the cable to the headset can be a bit fragile, handle with care.

Musically I do not think it's good for the monitoring, but it is correct to view the product price. Whole spectrum is there but the highs are attenuated as well as very large bass.

Regarding the overall quality of the product I would say that this is not a sustainable use that I do (mine, which is the second, almost died at the headband and pads). However it is a perfect choice for price and availability of the product to specifications.

So to summarize:
+ Excellent sound (about-22dB on average over the audible frequency range) of origin of a great brand that specializes in hearing protection
+ Quality of listening to the height of the headphone type and price
+ Resistant to moisture and screenings
+ Availability
Price

- Lifetime Limited headband very intensive use (greater than 5h/jour)
- Headband adjustable height only and shaking too, can become uncomfortable, but soundproofing assistance and may be perfectly suitable for small heads
- High impedance poorly suited for mobile use

I would do the same choice because its price and availability are unique to this type of product.

A +
