On our cruise I wore them in the pool, spa, and along the beach. Even better, I had to take them out a few times to prove to myself that it was actually completely blocking the noise of snoring--once I took a bud out, the snoring was there as loud as usual. And you can bet that is coming at some point because there is already demand for this mouse, wired, at a $50 price point. Shoe feels too snug around the top of the ankle. This unit came up in my search and I liked that it had the shelf above it that really didnt take much more space. I bought a new pair of them, replaced the muffs from the new one onto the old one. I can honestly say that I think these sound almost as good as the Sennheiser HD 598s and sound way better than the HD 280 Pros. AZW, . Jai décidé de laisser sa chance quelques jours au casque avant de prendre une décision. Thank you anyway for thinking about this.
