The description says 300pds - not true. I gave this purchase 5 stars, as I am a satisfied customer. The Astro A40 TRs ship with open earpads and earplates. Im 51, 135, and wear a 7. It is thin but holds tight and seems pretty sturdy. MY laptop does not have a mic jack. It packed quit well, especially considering the size of the brim. The touch pad isnt sensitive at all, unless the bud falls out of your ear, then itll react to you picking it off the floor, hanging up your phonecall. My last pair lasted almost 8 years of very heavy use. I’m the type of audio enthusiast that’s owned and tried a variety of over the ear phones, around the ear and now buds.
