Easy to slip on with my shoehorn without opening the strap. Ironically, the only reason I wanted that is so that I could make the keyboard not spectrum cycle in the lock screen, which I also havent found to stop. Its 62 cm in length. I just need the next size up so it wasnt that bad. Finally super soft material. UPDATE: After a dew weeks, I received a response from the seller regarding my comment. I can hear them but as soon as the ear pieces make contact with the persons head, the other people in the room hear only a muffle on full volume. I feel like this was a total waste of my money, my time and my patience. I love the deep bass that this item has! I?m a size 5 usually and I ordered these in a 4 and they fit perfectly.
