Im hoping. cuts in and out when it should and even permits some low level background music to go unnoticed in the party. I have worn these for years, I was very hesitant spending so much on a pair of sandals, but decided to take a chance. And with headphones, I expect to hear tones that my 12" powered subwoofer can make, without going all wet and rubbery. Very light, very dresscode-compliant. really happy with these hiking poles. It was easy enough to put together but the pieces could have been better marked. The design of the seat has these two bars which extend from the seat rack and attached to the seat stays (those are the tubes on the bicycle which are usually welded a little behind and beneath the seat and join the chain stays at the rear axle). Arrived fast, great conditions, perfect for quick repair on my Beats. Let me just say that the daughter that is going to buy these is so impressed she is very excited for this price to get her own pair.
