PROSDetachable mike and headset cables
 Comfortable for long flights.
 Seems to produce a pretty clear low end.
 Robust braided cables.
 Aluminium Frame
 Light weight. Great for multi-hour flights. Consider that I wear the headset 8 hours and more per day and never suffer a sore neck or back.
CONSNone after 2 years of heavy use. Sure the enclosed ear muffs can get a little clammy after a couple of hours but it sure beats wearing a VR headset!
