Solid Headphones

Solid headphones. Fit great and the skin and keeps them snug, even on my kids head. Bass is a little on the lower side but still not horrible. I would expect better bass for the cost but I enjoy them.

Good headset for price.

Good headset for the price. Like the retractable microphone. As well as the microphone lights up red when it is selected off. Very comfortable for extended wearing. Would reccomend.
