I was a little worried reading the various comments about the article was all going in the same direction. However I have not found equivalent helmet on the points I was looking for: sufficient wire length, correct volume setting, cover the ears, comfort, TV-Video usage. So I bought this helmet saying that I will make my own opinion. I tried this headset a good hour of receipt and I must say I am quite happy, he did not shake his head excessively and the sound is, for me, quite acceptable with a formal value of words. The cord is of good length that will allow me to pass it out of the way, the volume setting is very convenient (left / right separated, pot size), a mini jack allows you to unplug the headphone extension cord. To be continued over a longer use, but this first use seems promising.
