After seeing these in a Crocs Outlet store, i had to try them. The necklace is sturdy and the set is very deep and rich looking. Cannot speak to the microphone itself. Very comfortable and nice style . I wear these slippers everywhere because my feet love them. You can do pull ups and dips, you can easily move it around, and get in a great workout. Grateful for the free returns. The microphone can be detached and once attached stays secure to the point you almost cannot tell is not a permanent one. Vote for Alaadine It does work, BUT, after my first session of using it I decided to move it to another USB port as the one it was in is my headset port usually.
