I wanted them because of the noise canceling mic but on a Skype test call I made my baby's hiccups were clearly recorded from across the room. Please remove this from the description as the product packaging does not claim this. The cord is also a bit short, but I should have read more closely. However, the Skype test call also showed how clear my voice was. The sound switch works great. Headphones are comfortable. The single open-ear feature helps me listen to my baby when teaching online while he's sleeping.
