Only used a couple of times for dog walking but they appear waterproof and comfy time and weather will tell. I had to use ratchet straps to keep from losing my bikes. For home use, I probably would not have purchased the rose gold finish, but for our purposes it was a great contrast to the chain-mail! Theyre good quality for the price. If youre going to use a shaper make sure its a leotard type or a waist clincher because the splits on the side are high enough for anything else to be shown. The audio is clear, and the sound actually has some bass to it. Time to move on from JBL There is no mic-volume control on this unit (only earphone volume adjustment), so I couldnt reduce the volume for her ears from my end. Its not easy getting the second bike mounted on the rack. Works well as a headset, cant comment on the mic as my laptop has no mic port.
