But playing a game for instance, then the headset decided when it liked or not the sound that was playing, and thus gave me random sound cut/drop, which I never had with my other $35 headset. So comfortable I plan to buy them in different colors. Very bad quality. However, the R3e should undoubtedly work for a long time and is a perfect match for where no frills are needed now or later. Range is good, the connection with my varied Apple devices (iPhone 5, iPad 3, Mid-2011 iMac, 2012 MacBook Pro) and the couple of Android tablets Ive tried is flawless and generally the device "does the right thing" with regards to audio codecs and so on. After retiring insurance no longer covered the $500. The characters are wonderful and witty. The cover is a nice rubber material and there are even rubber pieces that go into the USB slots when you close the cover. When it finally came time to replace my old flip flops, I was disheartened to find out that Chaco changed their design. As soon as my grandmaw saw me in these, she wanted them too lol I ordered hers in black.
