I am a fine art painter and use these headphones while painting. I had wanted these shoes for months and finally purchased them. I wanted a USB microphone that was easy to universally mute, and the Wave:3 has a capacitive mute switch at the top of the microphone. The first time I heard the HD 650 was listening to Andrea Bocelli. I really LOVE how sturdy the hooks are, and how they look. I’d suggest sizing up if you want it to be as loose as the product image suggests. Now for the microphone. -THEY DO FIT UNDER THE STANDARD ACH HELMET, but not well. They were easy to control with the mixer, and still covered a good amount of space. The Same:And some things havent changed much.
