I am one of those people that can’t see spending $40 on a pair of shoes, especially when their feet are still growing. Ive since bought some foot pads to insert into the shoe to be a barrier between the ribbing and my foot, and that worked wonders. After reading many reviews on different wireless headsets I decided to try these. The "Silent" switches are by no means silent, unless youre amazing at stopping your keystrokes before bottoming out. She was looking at foot surgery and she no longer needs it now. I put it in my backpack sometimes, scrambled with all my other rigid belongings. First of all, I needed a headset that could tell me who the caller was from my phone contact list. I am so happy with my purchase. Putting it together and installing it was a breeze. NOW, anyone have a suggestion to replace that (same) silly thin covering that goes around the headband? Kind of dont want to use duct tape although it comes in stylish colors now.
