Great pair of headphones for multiple purposes. 1. Light weight 2. Detachable 2.5MM mic that is noise cancel Great set. I have purchased two. One I did have to return and exchange due to the mic for whatever reason not working. I believe the issue to be just a manufacturer defect. My local Best Buy took care of me no issue as I was transparent with bringing back the one out of two that didn't work. One I purchased in April of 2016 and the other in July, the July unit had an issue as of September 2nd. Go figure. Out of the box you piece this unit together. It's very simple and very light weight. Sound quality isn't anything over the top, so no extreme settings, etc. If you feel you need that, I'd recommend an external Sound card. Best Buy as a business does sale them and they take sound quality to another level for those that love their volume. My only issue on the build and it's the reason I give this unit four star is that you can't detatch the AUX cable from the driver cones. At this day and age, for me, it is a must. Fortunately I taught my children early on cable management. But I'd recommend Geek Squad Protection for anyone that will heavily use these as your cable could wear, depending on your level of care with the unit, and that would be apart of the product replacement promise you'd pay for. I would recommend this to strangers looking for budget units with good sound because you can remove the 2.5 MM mic and use as a universal headset for music playback. 4.5 Stars!
