It was not worth the money they spent. Went to rivals' svens, where the price was $1,500 less, where the sound was unreasonably cool, and where the quality of the materials was excellent. Outcome! The results of Hooper and Stinger Core seem awful. The following day it was passed. Got pros: Very comfy, light in weight, and long-lasting. Sitting on your own head is a very cool thing to do. Moreover, a fantastic microphone. The wells for the ears are soft and comfy; during my testing, which lasted almost three hours, I did not suffer any discomfort. The superiority of the components is unquestionable. Got cons: It has a repugnant and lifeless tone. It's really awful; I don't understand how someone could use components of such high quality and still install such poor speakers. To tell you the truth, I was quite aback by how much better my Svens for 250 sound. After three hours of shoveling, none of the settings seemed to make a difference. The noise is just horrible.
