I bought this for my son to practice piano with. He doesn't like his current headphone. It's the kind that covers the ears completely, and his ears turn red and itchy from it. This one doesn't cover the ears completely, but the foam part is still much bigger than your average headphone. So I took off the piano connector part and snap it onto the plug a cheap headphone with small foam area, and my son likes that way the best. I try to give the headphone to a different son but he doesn't like the feel either. Prefers the cheap ones he already has.
