I already have the older version of How to Cook Everything, but couldnt resist buying the new edition. Took a while to get used to due to the "I cant hear myself talking" part of sound isolation, however sound delivery is outstanding, battery life is excellent, I use it for Skype calls and no issues with microphone reception. Extremely light weight, so you dont notice it at all while running. The shock absorber apparatus is a bit wobbly, concerned it wont be able to hold up the mic after a while. And, the overall sound quality is well balanced from bass, mid to treble all across compared to others. Fell apart on the first day. Not as precise as a Sony-brand controller. Im super disappointed because these are beautiful and looked sturdy but now Im not sure if I should fix them or return them. I have it paired with both my iPad and Android Cell Phone. The Amazon basic ear headphones works in the iPhones with clear and loud audio on the ear pieces as well as speaking into the mic.
