Replaced my old "gaming" headphones with these. No regret. Works great in Google Meet and when I'm using my switch in managed mode. The volume and microphone controls are on the left ear. At the moment I find them more comfortable and faster than my old ones that used to have the mid-line control. The cable is the perfect size so you don't have to worry about folding. Cables tend to damage them. The headphones have noise protection. I'm using a Windows 10 computer and at 44% volume I can't speak to my relatives or hear their phones. The microphone also has noise cancellation, perfect for work meetings! A colleague asked me why my voice sounded different (which was actually a compliment!). The only problem I've had so far is that the mic picks up the noises my laptop is making (like youtube videos, video games) but I'm sweet. Sure, it's a problem with Windows and Realtek.
