I have it attached to my car keys and the key fob is unlikely to be fond of water exposure either. Anyways, for my purposes its great. Ive been buying and sending back candidates for my next phone headset for a while now. The fabric feels smooth and seems a high quality stretchy lycra/nylon. Im left speechless. I love being able to hang one ear piece on my shirt so I have an ear clear to listen. This noise started to appear even when the switch was not touched, leading me to try to touch it, change its position a bit, so that it stopped. And the cost was super affordable. It seems as though one may require access to the speed force for the action to register! Finally today, like about 30% of the time when they synch, the only synch on the right earpiece.
