My ears do not burn while wearing the headset. I have re-ordered these directly from Stride Rite and will update my review along with some comparison pictures to determine whether they are the same product or not. They also contain several different sizes of rubber earbud cushions for other sized ears? Bluetooth pairing is easy with this unit? These are comfortable and work well for use when exercising. dont tell my secret. These are beautiful. Bought for use on 18" bike. Ive even had strangers ask to take pictures of my slipper adorned feet. Battery life doesn?t work as good as it say and the volume is too low There is one thing I would like to tell the manufacturers. as per usual, Ecco products are top-of-the-line.
