This is where a good old fashioned button, with a little resistance could come in handy. The textures DO NOT feel cheap, quite the opposite. One little draw back is the 4 second delay when you turn mic on. They have great tread, perfect for climbing up the Xunatunich ruins in Belize, and he did not get any blisters despite wearing them on this 4 hour hike for the first time. They are extremely lightweight and comfortable. The back strap broke as I removed them from my feet the first time. Fist of all, cannot stress how horrible they look and how huge they are, its like its designed for people with duck feet. The earpieces that come with this are so much more comfortable than the ones that came with the AirPods. My roommate splashed water on the sink and got the top moist, unbeknownst to me AND him. Bought the rose gold ones.
