not super thin. Way better than BOSE! Im surprised, there were these white ones(yes they are skull candy) I use to buy from Target when I lived in the city and those sounded great for a 30 dollar pair of ear buds. It does so with wit and artistry. Very comfortable and I get tons of compliments when I wear them! Comfort is #1 for me when it comes to walking sandals and these are perfect! I had bunion surgery last year which still feels a bit tender, have heel spurs, some mild plantar fascitis. Tried numerous name brand WiFi routers extenders over the years and constant problems, dead areas, no Internet etc. No weight on my ears. I found the sound quality even better.
