I needed to protect my case and this was the best! Love that it has a manual on/off as well as a separate timer. Keep in mind theyve been all over and in the ocean a few times. My feet are muscular (what an odd thing to know about oneself! That’s why I bought them. Ive travelled with it, moved apartments, and I admit I havent been all that gentle with handling it on a daily basis, so I can definitely see how the electronic cables in the mic could be getting worn at the hinge from so much up and down, brash movement. My normal shoe size is 9 and that is what I ordered, fits perfectly with medium to thicker weight sock. Using these much more often than my AirPods. Ear pads have a nice depth and have good cushioning making it comfyThe mic is movable and works as you’d expect it to work, it has a mute switch halfway along the cable incorporated in with the volume. Some songs sound fine at 128kbps, others sound significantly better at higher qualities.
