I wouldn?t say these earphones are flat due to this colourisation but all earphones, headphones seem to have their own sound signature either too much bass, or raised mids etc. I needed headphones with a mic for online meetings. They seem to be designed to wear on either foot, given that they are as uncomfortable whichever foot they are on. Bought for my 7 year old I haven?t experienced that at all maybe it varies but it?s definitely worth it for the price! The straps are probably a little too tight for a wide foot but I think they might stretch a bit after wearing them for a while. As long as you can keep them safe, you should be ok. Thank you soooo much Yianna! All you are paying for is $5 for the wireless charging pad and $45 for the "pro" and nicer looking box. Im grateful enough I fit in big kid sizes.
