CLOSER TO THAT , SOFT COMFORTABLE HECK I SOME TIME FALL ASLEEP THAT'S HOW COMFORTABLE THEY'RE AND WHEN I NEED TO GET UP AND GET SOMETHING I CAN STILL HEAR WHAT THE TV IS PLAYING , I ALSO HAVE A PELLET STOVE AND THE HEAD PHONES SILENCE THE BLOWER SI I MAY HEAR WHAT IS BEING SAID , AS I AM LEGALLY BLIND, I AM ALSO HARD OF HEARING SO THE HEAD PHONE FEED THE WORDS DIRECTLY INTO MY EARS WITHOUT OUTSIDE NOISE SO I CAN HEAR EVEN WITH A LOWER VOLUME ...AND I DO NOT BOTHER ANYONE IN THE HOUSE WHEN I AM WATCHING THE TV FOR ONLY I CAN HEAR THE TV ... SO IF YOUR IN A SIMULAR SITUATION LIKE I AM AND WANT THE BEST AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEY HAVE AN ON OFF SWITCH,VOLUME UP DOWN AND PAUSE BUTTON ON THE EAR PIECE AS WELL . PAIRING WITH BLUETOOTH IS SO SIMPLE
