Im unaware of it should do this or not. The older pair fit much better than this looser, larger pair. I have 4 other pairs, and besides Cloudsteppers, Fit Flops are the only summer shoe I recommend. The headband material means that your head is not resting on the plastic at the top and the ear cushions are of a good size so that your ears dont become sore after a while so very comfortable to use. My setup is pretty complicated. Fit - it fits into your ear like magic and stays there, you can exercise, run, jog but it wont come out. I do remember a lot of the news articles from those years - I was living in San Francisco at the time and a good friend of mine worked for Apple - but I would not consider myself previously knowledgeable about Apple in any comprehensive way. Once fitted it felt comfortable. worked perfect loved the color N like other person mentioned no option to buy 1 stand if you broke 1
