The aluminum safety toe is light enough to not be a problem while protecting well,, and I havent noticed them being cold or warm. I am returning these earbuds. For now Ill use my H19 IPOs until they break. But beware the sizes run small. I guess it doesn’t matter since it comes with a matching party lol I like it regardless Like the colors. Anyway, I got my UA shoes, and I still prefer to wear these everyday. No pain. Absolute garbage the headset is. While I do love them and will keep them, I wont be repurchasing this style as it just doesnt fit as expected.
