I didnt like the fact that I had to use noise cancelling with the bluetooth, but it didnt seem to affect battery life too much, so it wasnt a huge deal. Super recomendo! 4) Controls: This was a main reason I purchased-- full controls on both sides. They are perfect for the summer. Solid and matches well with my oiled bronze bathroom fixtures, though the color is listed as black. I have been a happy Anker customer over the years but this product has been a disappointment. Bought this bad boys hoping they could help me survive the annual pain of Christmas Songs on the workshop radio! He now makes his own appointments and enjoys full participation in phone calls. I purchased a few others from amp th er seller and cried because they were tiny and stiff and I thought I would never find the right one but this product is an absolute miracle and felt amazing non itchy not irritating and covered my hips ! Our kitchen/dining room is a wine color scheme with the winery rugs and mats this just fits in perfect!
