I actually bought these for myself but my son really wanted to use them. Now he is hooked on them. He says they keep his ears nice and warm and he can listen to videos on his tablet without bothering the rest of us around him. It takes some getting used to because of the design and it wrapping around the back of head. The only complaint is the volume. Maybe it just isnt loud because of the thickness of the ear muffs or fabric. They are still awesome quality.
