After wearing these around for a week,I find the flip flops as comfortable as flip flops can be, i enjoy the ease and comfort of slippping your foot in and going on your way a pro vs putting shoes on and tying them. However, for leather sandals one expects some measure of higher quality. I feel silly for not trying it right away; it has made a big difference in my quality of life. Sound quality is much better than the Zolo Liberty+ I’ve been using for the past few years and the ANC seems to be pretty decent as well. I like wired phones for music better than Bluetooth. Ive learn though that without a distortion devise in line with the power wire it picks up on motor noise so it cant be used with out one when the motor is running. Also the adjustment screw on extendable leg would not come off--even after I doused it with WD-40 and used a T-handle screwdriver. I am an early riser and I watch the news every morning before anyone gets up. These headphones are excellent. The craftsmanship is not the best, but they definitely work well.
