The thing that I find a little odd is not being able to hear myself speak so well, but thats not down to the headset. Leather style is great. then hammered in the wall anchors. Perfect for boys BUT, the cord connects at the bottom, so then I have to use a right angle jack to keep from breaking the cord. The E7 have provided great quality at a reasonable price and made them the perfect headphones to use at the health club. Even plain black would be better than smurf blue. Often times every 2-3 words spoken were picked up by other players. One small piece is missing and I keep trying to get it replaced. Suspect I should have ordered a size smaller.
