I ordered one about 8 months ago and just ordered a second one so that I have a back up. The first time I epilated it HURT! I can say from experience at these will handle about anything, wet, dry, sand, pavement, etc. I would recommend the smart foam ear buds, which come included but ones that came with the headphones were too big for my ears but I went ahead and got a pack of them separately. The memory foam always breaks down within a few days. The length from bottom to top is a bit wide too, so it makes shopping for their shoes nearly impossible. Terrible headphones. It feels like a particle board shell little soft but its held up on flights and daily back back trips. Will update again after that. Anti-skating is excellant and you can raise or lower tonearm adjustment which is nice to have.
