EARTHQUAKER DEVICES PLUMES overdriveThe Plumes is a low to medium gain overdrive based on the trusty lime green overdrive that has been an industry staple since its inception. This is the kind of overdrive that works in conjunction with a good valve amp to create the warm saturation people like to call transparent". While this circuit has been the foundation of countless other overdrives available today, we feel the Plumes has a few twists and turns to make it unique enough to stand

The Plumes is a low to medium gain overdrive based on the trusty lime-green overdrive that has been an industry staple since its inception. This is the kind of overdrive that works in conjunction with a good valve amp to create the warm saturation people like to call transparent". While this circuit has been the foundation of countless other overdrives available today, we feel the Plumes has a few twists and turns to make it unique enough to stand out. The Plumes does away with the trusted JRC4558 OpAmp and the BJT buffers and replaces them with low noise JFET OpAmps for a more robust and precise signal with a significantly lower noise floor. The 9v power input is internally converted to +/- 9v for more headroom and a clarity that is almost three-dimensional. We've raised the input impedance to a whopping 10 megaohms for a stronger signal with more clarity and chime. We've also adjusted the cutoff of the tone control to deliver a more useful range of travel with more booming bass on the low end without sacrificing the cutting midrange and bright top end. Last, but certainly not least, the Plumes offers three different clipping options to ensure that it will work with a wide variety of gear and playing styles. Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping utilizing a pair of light emitting diodes. This is the crunchiest setting the Plumes has to offer. When played through a clean amp, it'll deliver a reasonable facsimile of that classic crunchy valve amp tone. Mode 2 is clean boost mode. This eliminates the soft clipping diodes altogether and leaves you with straight OpAmp drive. This is perfect for pushing your clean tone out in front or driving the preamp of an already overdriven amp into tasteful breakup territory. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement similar to the stock screamer but with more output and clean clarity, the tone some people describe as "transparent". The Plumes features EarthQuaker Devices relay-based "soft touch" Flexi-Switch™ Technology for both momentary and latching footswitch operation as well as a very low 25mA current draw. "¢ Unique approach to a classic tube-like overdrive circuit offering more headroom, lower noise and far better signal integrity. "¢ Features 3 different clipping options: symmetrical LED, asymmetrical silicon, and no diode OpAmp drive. "¢ Reimagined tone control to sculpt low end, clear top end, and focused midrange. "¢ True bypass. "¢ Silent relay-based switching. "¢ Features EarthQuaker Devices' proprietary Flexi-Switch™ Technology. "¢ All-analog signal path. "¢ Lifetime guarantee. "¢ Current Draw: 25 mA. "¢ Input impedance: 10 MΩ. "¢ Output impedance: 100 Ω. "¢ 100% hand-built in the USA."

Great no-frills Bluetooth wireless headphones
Color: Blue
I did not read the description carefully. It states what devices these headphones are compatible with and "desktop computer" is not one of them. I called Sony and they told me they will work with almost any modern device that has Bluetooth connectivity. I easily wirelessly connected them to my desktop computer and they work great. Strangely the user guide gives instructions on how to use them with Mac and Windows computers, so read the user guide/manual that is linked in the description. If you want to use any of the functions of the Sony Headphones Connect app you will need a compatible phone. If you do not use the app (not compatible with computers) they function as a basic pair of wireless headphones. All rather confusing and the Amazon description does nothing to clear it up. With that being said I connected it easily to my desktop computer. I am no audiophile and do not need a $400 pair of headphones. To me they sound great especially for the inexpensive price. They are NOT noise cancelling headphones and I did not want noise cancelling. They are "on the ear" headphones meaning they are about the size of your ear and press your ears against your head creating a bit of a seal keeping some exterior noise out. Works fine, but if you wear eyeglasses and wear the glasses and the headphones at the same time after a few hours it can become uncomfortable as the headphones press your ear against the arm of the glasses and the arm of the glasses into the side of your head. The charging port on the headphones is USB C and they come with a USB A to USB C cable but no charging brick. I connected mine to my computer with a USB C to USB C cable and it charged fine. 50 hours of playtime on one charge is great. One star for a confusing and unclear Amazon description. 4 stars for a good basic pair of headphones that works with almost any modern Bluetooth device, albeit without the functions of the Sony app (unless you are using it with a compatible phone).

Lightweight, great sound and beautiful color.
Color: Cappuccino
I absolutely love these headphones. The color is great, they're lightweight, feel great on my ears and head. They're great quality and love that they twist down when testing then on my neck so they're not hitting my face. I would recommend this product!

Perfect for me!
Color: Black
Slim/lightweight. Comfortable fit. Good charge. Though my volume was on a 4 or 5 and when I took the headphones off I could hear my music a little. You can’t fold to close them like other styles but I can rotate the earmuffs to make them fit in my bag. Definitely a solid pair of wireless headphones for a good price!
