They are indeed very pretty and most importantly, they fit really well. They have enough heel to add some height because being short is not bueno. It perfectly simplifies connectivity issues in hotel rooms. The zipper is very smooth and does not snag. I wore them all day long on campus, walking a solid two miles, and had no issues with blisters or chafing. 1 inches & Aprx 3 inches high with a sub-woofer of aprx 1. As previously mentioned, they are easy to install. Everyone with whom Ive spoken to while using the buds can hear me clearly. This is very lite feeling, great price and great quality. Definately recommend!
