Havent had a chance to try the mike yet but, for my purpose I may never use it. Ive been hobbling around in them until they start hurting and then I put them aside for a while. I like that the volume goes low enough to use them to fall asleep listening to a book. They pair easily with casual outfits or dresses for going out at night. 🤩 Le userò anche in città. This is my 2nd pair and the first lasted 4 years. Not sure where this originated from, but hey it works so far. Well see how it lasts. Really disappointing. I wanted to update my review, because I see people complaining about their button detaching.
