Maybe not the best for those who are super picky, but it doesnt cut out and doesnt sound muffled or poor. Ive lifted weights for many years. Both the EL-8 and the Sundara are very large planars (especially the EL-8) and while they do hang over the edge a little bit I have seen ZERO effect on any of my pads or upon the head bands. I think I will get a lot of good use out of this headset. Overall I would rate this headset an excellent buy, and would absolutely recommend it, especially for the price ($37). 5 and I bought these in the size 6-7 and they fit perfectly(keeping in mind that the fluff will eventually flatten a bit with wear). So far i haven’t had any problems with holes or wet feet. Most others either came out over night, cause irritation the next day, or woke me with a headache. While the cheaper Blackwire C3225 works well for sound and environmental noise reduction, the comfort is just not good enough for long virtual meetings. Hope so, amazon India will give a positive reply.
