The magnetic feature is an added bonus. They were a bit fiddly to install, but that is not due to the design of the ear pads, but because of the headphones. The weather station closest to me is about six miles away so it has been very accurate. The Velcro closure secures his foot nicely (the shoes are technically too big because of his current foot size). I sent the first one back because of this issue and the box I got had obviously been opened and returned because the brackets were out of the protective sleeve. I was excited to reviece these headphones and they were as promised and worked great until they suddenly stop working after 2 weeks. On the controller you can perform many functions, calls, play pause, voice assistant, voice output change, track skip forward and more. Hopefully it lasts. I do not believe this is actual Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. Cant find Amazons phone number on this site anymore - please add it back in a prominent place!
