These earbuds were great in the beginning. The sound was really nice. My waist is 29 inches and I ordered this one with the straps in M 34. I hate to spend this much money on something that looks ugly to me. I only wish Google would make something that truly rivals a real laptop, they are close with this machine , but still not quite there Ive not worn these outside just around the house to see if they would work for me as I have arthritis and nueropathy in my foot and many shoes/sandals hurt badly, so far these sandals are comfortable they also are pretty and have a designer looking side bottom. I tried the next smaller sized tip but Ill lose the sound isolation as well as a significant decrease in bass from the looser fit. By comparison I found the narrow fit to be a better match to my womens feet! They are THAT good! However, it is not entirely painless.
