    Overall great buy only two downsides there doesn't seem to be away to adjust it appears to just auto adjust, but if it doesn't fit you. I don't think you can make any adjustments to help. Very great sounding and light. Comfortable. It's biggest sin is a fixed cable so if the cable gets damaged its pretty much junk for the price I can forgive it.

  • Phenomenal Sound, Bad Fit for Smaller Head

    Was so excited for these to arrive but going to have to return them because as a woman with a smaller head these do not fit me. They're designed to expand to fit a larger head but they don't get any smaller. Makes me wonder if any women were included in the ergonomics of testing these and their comfortability. They do have phenomenal sound but they're not going to be usable for me.
