Excellent Sound & Range for open-type headsets

Pros: Wonderful range - my MP3 comes alive !!!

Cons: Spendy, but worth the price

Review: This is my walk-about headset, for an open-type headset I have tried many & found none better. When I go for walks I find this headset extremely cool & comfortable, and I like the fact that that I can remove & wash the cloth covered foam on the ear cups from time to time. The sound is true reproduction and blows away cheaper $20 open-type headsets.

User Rating: 4/10

Crappy sound that is heard in the hole room.

Pros: Your ears don't get hot.

Cons: Bad sound. Doesn't keep the sound in very good.
