I bought this on July 6, 2017. they are comfortable, lightweight, and so far durable. So you are listening to music and you go to put it on your pocket or do something with your hand it pauses the audio. Wire near the jack is for sure faulty. nice comfortable headset and the microphone works well and gives clear sound the mute button is a nice feature as well arrived early Depends on the manufacturer:For our purposes here I will compare size 10 in:1. Wasnt happy with the construction of the shoe. second one same problem out of box, canon didnt want to honour warranty at all but got my money back on second one . Turned off Bluetooth on the phone. I have large hands and can easily cover it with one hand.
