I needed great headset for work, helping me to focus while life goes on around me. Disappointed it did not come in a box as it was a gift However these are still very solid headphones. This is my traveling charging cord and it’s held up very well. Way too much money for just an extension To Amazons credit they refunded me for the full amount. Sound: sehr analytischer Klang. Once I had that conundrum solved, the cable worked perfectly, connecting my TV to a soundbar. The sound quality of these ear buds is amazing. My waist is 36. So I took a star for comfort as well for that.
