    So I haven't used these extensively yet. I tried them out a bit to see how they work.They sit firmly on the ears but soft enough to not hurt, very padded like memory foam. Again, I haven't used it long enough but that was the impression I got after putting them on. They do drown out outside noise such as my loud fan, there is an ambient feature in case you actually want to pay attention to your surroundings and not get hit by a car. It does work, the volume lowers very noticeably and you are able to hear my loud fan again. I would have to test this out in a louder location but hey, Rona so 🤷.They are very bendable which is a plus for me to be able to fit in my bag. The headband part has a small softer layer underneath to not hurt the top of your head and each ear is designated R & L.The adjustable headband piece seems to move too easily to stay in place but once on your head, it isn't a problem. There are also numbered tick marks on the adjustable exposed metal to not keep you guessing whether each side is extended evenly so that's a plus.Sound is nice and crisp. At the loudest level it can almost hurt my ears which is honestly what I want when I'm really feeling my music. I also appreciate the toggle button for volume, instead of two different buttons to increase & decrease volume. Makes it easier to know which one I'm selecting. Sometimes, depending on the track, the bass can over power the vocals but I'm fine with that and it only occurs with some songs, its not a disappointment, just something I wanted to point out. It could also depend on the source the music is coming from as well.The pause/play feature works almost perfectly but sometimes it does continue to play after taking them off to place on the table, not a big deal idc. It works perfectly when taking them off to place around your neck though. There is a 2-second delay. You can disable this feature as well, it's in the provided instructions booklet.There is a charging cable included as well as a detachable audio cable with built-in mic. The headphones also have an answer/end call button.It has multipoint connection for those who want to connect to two devices. Ex: those who want to connect to a separate bluetooth device for music and connect to their phone to answer calls.
