To be honest. I didn't buy them for myself. As a professional Santa, I'm always trying to figure out how I can help others. This season the elves and I decided to help the homeless warm up. We bought blankets, socks, gloves, stockings, scarves and earmuffs and then gave them out. I tried on a pair and thought they fit great and felt like they could keep my ears warm. These weren't the most durable headphones I've seen, but for the price I think they're a good buy. Likewise . They will only be needed for a few months. I'm pretty sure they're doing great.
