The inside of the head beam is made of sports mesh material, which is soft and breathable, which can provide players with excellent wearing comfort.
The telescopic rod is made of plastic. The inner and outer sides of the telescopic rod are not designed with a scale. After my measurement, the expansion of the headset is about 4CM, which is enough to meet the wearing needs of most users.

The PRESETS button on the headset can adjust four preset audio modes, including Natural Sound, Bass Boost, Bass And Treble Boost, Vocal Boost.
