Easy enough but fiddly. Ive tried Brainwaves, Drop and others because of the comfort factor and, while there were more comfortable earpads, these didnt sacrifice sound and I think actually improved the sound. And im not saying it to make people buy them. It took a little time to test various heads on different parts of the body because I have very sensitive skin and wanted to avoid any irritation. The "Silent" switches are by no means silent, unless youre amazing at stopping your keystrokes before bottoming out. I always wear New Balance 12 Wide (2E). I was torn between the medium and the small but I am not big busted and wanted the girls to feel secure if I wear without a bra. This is a big difference from headsets that hurt after a few minutes of use. This made the song sound much clearer than my other headphones, which lacked a little in mids and highs. I will be paying the extra money to get the true Bose sound which is offered in the 500 and 700 models.
