Ignorance is not a good excuse for wrong purchase decisions. Some may be wondering about the charging and yes, you have to take them off but they easily slide on and off. Update: Ordered in 2016 and it is now 2020. At the end of the day it doesnt matter how high end the technology is if it becomes uncomfortable. However, sometimes I noticed some distortion, not sure if it is my pc, or the earbuds itself. Theyre comfortable, but I would have never ordered them had I known that they are NOT leather. The back is elasticated but painful. I finally decided on the Astro A50 Gen 4 as they are just like the Elite 800s in the fact they have a magnetic base to charge the headset. Worked perfectly. Id return and sz down again.
