They will be fine for light use for running errands, going to the pool etc but I would not want to put many miles on them. Therefore, the top part comes off when dropped. 99 which made me sort of grumpy. Very clear and gives a lovely tone to the voice. However, the shaft of the sock was so tight she could hardly get it on (wife is 125 lbs and has thin legs). Too many bad reviews on the other cases. The outside of the earpieces are embossed with the Shure logo in silver too - discrete but noticeable - these headphones will attract glances. The bag was delivered quickly and arrived as shown in the first pic. lets put things in perspective here before we move on, shall we? understand that these are relatively affordable BASS-CENTRIC headphone. I cant believe Ive waited this long to get something like this.
