I did not imagine when I purchased this pillow for it be be this impressive. I must comment that I paid close to $100 dollars with prior headsets so the comparison is somewhat unfair. I bought them for my wedding and they are beautiful! For music, the sound quality is very good. Cute, well made and comfortable. (Note: this puts out 10W. If you have numerous Phantom Voltage settings, you will find solace in selecting a lower Phantom Voltage, as this will reduce the microphones output amplitude. I use these cans in a studio, so had a larger budget than most, however, theyre not cheap at the RRP. (not an easy feat - trust me). But this is some quality issue and covered by the warranty, I dont understand why I cant exchange for a good one.
