Ive only used a couple of times and the right ear bud has gone out. These wires are much thicker and Have been holding up pretty good. I didn’t realize the stand requires you to plug the phone into small adapters that are next to impossible to use with a case on the phone. Overall I love this product and would recommend it to a friend. I can run on colder days with my wireless headband. For less than $50, this is a steal! Already had the chestnut pair and needed to come back for the black. Only down side is that it shrunk in the washer :( Size-wise Im a 9, and on delivery these were fine apart from being a bit snug in the arch area (top of foot) so I just replaced the inner sole (footbed) with a thinner one. These are a great shoe for quickly slipping on and playing outdoors.
