Sitting down with bluetooth connection is good. The storage case very well protects the device during travel. I chose these, because the stupid ones you get when ONLY spending $1,250 on an iPhone, suck. Sound quality greatly improved over just a few hours. Con:I found them to be a little too narrow and as a result hurt my little toe when walking as they would rub against the sides. For earbuds Im impressed. This has everything you could possibly need to start making bracelets great variety of beads great variety of colored material and scissors it comes with so much - I also tried the 20m ham radio band during the day. But then I realized that I could VERY easily hold the phone on my shoulder without cramping my neck. Those are getting sent back for that reason.
