Over-ear Headphones by Share Brands – available in five colors – Review

Share Brands headphones are cushioned, comfortable, and stylish. Sound is decent, but quality drops off at the lower end of the spectrum. Adequate for non-audiophiles and listeners not fussy about superior bass and crisp highs, these headphones come with a 5.7 foot cable and standard 3.5mm plug.

Crazy Talk7 is used to create audio-driven facial animation. CrazyTalk Animator 2 is a complete 2D animation product.
