Both my daughter and I are very pleased with this purchase. This mic just makes your voice sound nice and smooth right out of the box, and that’s with no post processing. This shoe is so comfortable, but I did have to order 2 sizes smaller than my normal size. Not itchy. I loved that (the glossy styles) are very water resistant! The higher end models also dont have Up and Down articulating earcups for some reason. What appears to be the last of the Soundlink IIs gave us the push we needed and we have no regrets! The microphone is much better than previous other-brand headphones I’ve tried and seems to give a much crisper and clearer sound to people I talk to on the phone. However, I ordered the US 10 and it was too big. I wear these all day as an indoor slipper and would definitely recommend them for long term wear.
