I use this for my home office, where Im on the phone for a living. The bass level is way to high and the voices are distorted. I would wear this stuff in real life. First of all, this was actually quite difficult to assemble and many of the parts were very sharp, so take care with them. That being said there is a better, more versatile and just as safe alternative. They are some comfortable and durable. Let me say one thing up front about the bass: if you want a speaker that rivals something in a tricked-out car, you will need 200 - 300 or more watts and an enclosure. Triplet - (bike for 3) , just like the tandem, this is very easy to use with the triplet. I got no blisters or other problems and at the end of each day I dusted them off and wore them around towns and cities. You would think this product would be extremely durable.
