I cant say I would give this as a gift in bulk. Like most Bose products, it?s expensive. As with most new shoes caused blisters All was well until I washed it according to the instructions even putting it on delicate. I love the design on the headset, it suits this time of year perfectly. Instead of finding them comfortable at all, they?re actually painful to wear because the front edge of the strap across the top digs into my big toes. I feel people are interested more in how it will sound down the road after a few months. I bought 2 pairs for my 11 years old son who use to wear size 6 M / 8W but the shoe fit MY foot and Im 5 M / 7W. If there were a lot of problems with this product they?d lose money on a two year warranty. I originally rated these 4 stars, but after wearing them a few weeks, they deserve all 5 stars!
