They are HUGE on PC

I ended up sending them back. They were recommended by a friend who wore them for a few years and loved them so I just bought them without reading the reviews and I really wish I had had them. I'm a woman with a small head and as stated by other reviews they don't fit the smallest setting at all. They just hang on your head. As soon as I looked down or threw my head back, they immediately slipped off. I asked my boyfriend to try them on and although they fit him better they still didn't "strain" and he ended up not wanting to keep them because they were uncomfortable when wearing glasses. He doesn't have this problem with his HyperX headset. Due to the way they hang on the head, there is some clearance at the bottom of the ear. It's good for airflow, but it's weird and there's more pressure on the top of the ear, which my friend also experienced. I will say, however, that the mic is fully unidirectional and noise-cancelling (plus instant mute when folded). above was a plus). My friend and I share a room and our rigs face each other, so we encounter a lot of audio issues when playing on Discord with friends. His HyperX headset doesn't pick up my voice, but I didn't have a reliable microphone and had to use the push button to speak or mute it all the time so our friends wouldn't hear it twice. This mic didn't pick up his voice at all, even when he spoke out loud. This time our friends could hear me loud and clear :) The sound quality is also very good and the surround sound is a pleasure. Another thing that bothered me, but might not be an issue for some, is the versatility. You can only use this as a PC and PS4 gaming headset. I figured most wireless headphones come with an extra cable to use them in wired mode in case you run out of battery or want to connect to your phone. This is wireless only and will only work with a USB wireless interface device. You can charge them with a wired USB cable while using them, but not only can you use them as wired headphones. A really good distance for the wireless part though. I kept in touch from all parts of the apartment. Overall 5 star mic for background noise cancellation and clear voice quality, 5 star audio quality, 1 star for fit but if you have a big head you'll be fine, 3 stars for versatility - just have to charging, 2 stars for the completely ridiculous default software setting to automatically turn off the headphones after 5 MINUTES of use, how come on. I know this can be changed in the settings, but it's definitely a surprise when you're busy! For $100 I need a headset that fits me, but they're decent if you want good wireless headphones and a bomb mic.
