I would NOT recommend buying these. I was seeking out a new pair of wired headphones with 2 purposes in mind--comfortability during sleep and noise masking. She said she has to push other types of headphones to her ears to hear well. Bought to replace a previous pair that were, literally, falling apart on my feet after years of sterling service. This, combined with the strong tension of the headband, makes the headphones uncomfortable fairly quickly. Very poor quality but functional Looks far more expensive than this. The directions said 2. Was very disappointed with the quality of the product compared to my first order and more expensive too. ONE YEAR LATER ~ I am changing my review from 1 star to 5 (I am embarrassed to say)They were my first pair and took all this time to get used to them; now I love them.
