But that’s me. I find that when typing, you WANT to hear the keys because thats all you are doing. Overall this is a great console I may update later when I go for much longer rides. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone whose looking to spend a little extra money for comfortable and practical ankle shoes. I used to get dropouts riding my bike on other units (3 foot connection distance), and with these I can walk across the room and theres no issue. Not much bass at all however there is a MIC volume that works well. I tried them first before he did. after lightly pushing the peg down slowly slide the needle out. These are warm and the sizing is generous—maybe a little too generous.
