Overall good, but I expected more, there are disadvantages.

I chose first of all for long-term use during the day, I just wanted covering ones, with volume control, removable microphones and a micro mute button.
I'm happy with everything, except for the microphone. I chose a headset for a long time, looked at all the reviews, listened to the test recordings of the microphone. If I could listen to this micro in the store, I would never buy it. Because it has 0 meaning.
Headphones - 4
Microphone - 1

Pros

Well made and assembled, nice materials, practical to use, ears fully covered. I use it every day for 10+ hours - nothing hurts, it doesn’t press on my ears, the headphone volume is set to 15% in win10. The sound is good, I'm not a sweetheart, but I don't hear any obvious flaws.

Cons

Terrible microphone. Just a terrible microphone. They hear me only at 100% micro volume, +30db amplification, a microphone at a distance of 1-2 cm from the mouth and a fairly loud speech, as if you are making a report/presentation. But since there is no wind protection here, with such settings I had to foam rubber from an old headset, because every breath in and out causes a wild overload. What I saw in the reviews, when they speak in micro at a distance of 5-10 cm, I can’t be heard at all. At first, headphones arrived with a broken cable - I thought this was a problem with the microphone, but after the exchange - nothing has changed. On other devices, the result is the same.
