After reading lots of reviews I decided on this pair. Cheap, thought I could get away with using these. Its more like, "damn, oops, ok i got it this time. It could be me and maybe I am doing something wrong, but Im pretty sure I can push a button correctly. - The microphone muting system. 5-Star for staying in the ear. The gold is not too bright/chintzy, and the height is perfect. Not a deal breaker, but to me thin = lower quality. WHOAAAA! Really bad.
