Really adorable case. Might be something about the sound signal traveling across such a long chord. Its more that the sound is emitted at the side, and your ear picks it up. Matter of fact, I thought it was such a good value, I went back online and bought another one as a gift for another family member! I feel like maybe Ive been jumped into a gang by a group of tiny mice, wearing steel-toed boots. But this version is not easy to come by (all black Superstar with gold detailing). If you can wear the Birkenstock arch support, this is one of the loveliest shoes you will find. The Coral is a great Florida color. The best part is that it has cushioning under the over head snap. Podría tener un sistema de sujeción al cuello mucho mejor.
