My wife and I bought Halo Headsets at Sun N Fun this year. Besides the comfort level, including the lack of sweaty ears (we live in Las Vegas NV) we booth agree that we can hear the people we are talking with much much better, Especially controllers.
We both were wearing ANR headsets previously, Mine was a Zulu.
