Putting the mic into an acoustic foam shield and having foam panels around makes this sound almost perfect! I was surprised by these. Well made and attractive. It held me in, in all the right spots. They are lightweight and don’t hurt my ears. Can not say enough about these shoes every where I go everyone loves them they are comfortable and made with great quality if you order these you want be disappointed Bought for my daughter who has a smaller head. Otherwise it looks great but a bit expensive for the material. Anyway, I think they are as good as the name brand that costs over twice as much. But it does offer hard protection, is quite smart and a reasonable price, so I would still recommend it !
