We’ve been repainting of remodeling and doing some updates to the home to get ready to sell in the next couple of years. I might just ditch the original pair of ear pads for these new ones if cleaning them proves. They werent what I hoped they would be. Could have been better directions, but after that no issues. For a full-featured earbuds to use with your mobile phone, where you need to be able to answer calls and other things, yes, there are better choices for a lot more money. The sound is very tinny and the bass Sony is known for is totally absent and there is no way to adjust it. Can you love a pair of water shoes? Yes, because I love these! The reason they went back is that my toes were hurting within a few minutes. upgraded to this from a logitech g430 which were an awesome budget pair of headphones btw. Even if the headset is adjusted to the smallest setting, it’s clear that someone with that size head would not fit correctly.
