I live in a condo and am somewhat hard of hearing, so I worry about bothering the neighbors if I watch tv in the morning before I put my hearing aids in, I got some over-the-ears bluetooth headphones, which worked pretty well,. But they were bulky and increasingly uncomfortable if I wore them for very long. Was skeptical about these at such a low price and not sure how comfortable they would be. Turns out they work very well and are so comfortable that I almost forget I have one on. They really aren't noise canceling,, which might be a drawback for some. But I like it. With the headphones I couldn't hear someone knock at the door or other noises that I need to hear. So all in all I am quite happy with it and have ordered three more, one to leave sitting on each tv ready to use and one for a friend who occasionally visits and complains that he can't hear my tv.
