when bikes are loaded, we could not open the tailgate of our vehicle (Honda Pilot). Bought to add to a new multi-gym as the attachments it came with were poor. I notice wind noise from them only if Ive got the sunroof open. The leather upper is also softer and more flexible, so they fit my foot much better. The glowing LED is really nice as well. Sound etc for me seemed fine, they can be quite loud and defo block out outside sound. I think for the money I spent they were a good value and the sound is very clear and crisp. You can still open it enough to take out and put back the earbuds. The connection has been perfect and I was still getting a connection when I was upstairs and series x downstairs. Since I cant know how it will fit till it gets here I never know if what I buy is worth it and the thought of going through the return process and possibly charged a restocking fee makes me sick.
