What Im looking for is 1) decent sound even if not audiophile level, 2) durability, particularly of the wires, which are the usual failure point, 3) comfort and staying in my ears, 4) reasonable price. Better than advertisedWonderful anniversary gift Perhaps part of the problem is the transition from youth size to mens size. This earbuds more control options (volume control, pause/play, call controls). Day 1: The headphones are very comfortable and after wearing for more than an hour were still very comfortable with no redness or soreness on the ears. Had to return these unfortunately. I do have my VERY loaded up, so when I pull it out I support the bottom, but I am not sure that is necessary. For my black matte bath ! Problem #1: cheap insole is inserted; it?s not part of the shoe. Los cables un poco largos para mi gusto.
