My husband has been getting more comfortable doing it on his own by putting the bike up against the car. Unfortunately I bought this to use the USB-C plug to power a HomePod Mini but it did not work. its touching me wrong. This way I can space out the bike racks evenly and it looks great. To get a decent voice quality you practically sucking it off you gotta be so close to the mic. These issue and know and are experienced by other users online. Everything else is satisfactory or better -- controls, charging time, etc -- all non-issues. I would be surprised if these earbuds are just poorly designed or manufactured since Anker products are typically very high quality. I am so bummed. Its a moc and its my favorite one.
