It can easily be transmitted over long distances in a small carry case and can also be used without worry.

Even the ear pads are heavily cushioned and comfortable to the ears. As you can well understand, they are super comfortable for long hours of use and can be folded to fit into a small box. The headband itself has a very modern design. It is a true mini headphone for today’s generation.
