It’s really loud I was shocked at how small it is it could be so loud. I live in a sub-tropical climate and never wear socks, therefore I cannot overemphasize how important the interior shoe surfaces contribute to my foot comfort. I was going to replace these QC25s with a new QC35 model, but looks like those have the same problem with one ear going out. Our lad uses these for gaming and for general listening and theyre all he hoped they would be. However they only came with the screws to mount one of them. The strap in the front fits the width of my feet but my pinky might fall out. Look else if you are prone to motion sickness, if not. They have to sit in my ear with entering the ear canal because I just cant stand the tiny earbud type. Honestly this dress was beautiful. It fits great im a 8 1/2 so i ordered 9 and they have a little space like they should.
