Comfort and quality

★★★★★
5.0

"These headphones provide a high quality sound and the large size provides the comfort needed to wear for several hours. They are not heavy and I don't even realize that I'm wearing them after a short while. I highly recommend these for anyone who likes to watch TV in bed and not disturb anyone. "
