But with anything playing at a reasonable volume, the outside noises will fade to nothing. Now, the headphones are useless and the company does not sell a replacement charging case. At first I thought HOLY MOLY this is tight! I am very disappointed as Vionic won’t back this since it’snot an approved Vionic Dealer. it took two of us to complete the process.
