I had a few stands that once you put it together it became a big table weight, over sized and awkward impossible to fit into my travel bag so I ended up taking multiple cables charges and just ran themall over the table at the hotels. Its very cumbersome. They?re a tad bit too big when I don?t have socks on but I never NOT wear socks with slides so I guess it?s fine. Yes, I wear these running errands and also when we go kayaking. And this, only costs me 699 rs(also 10% extra discount on my bank card). Get yourself a pair of these things. Ive read plenty of reviews of plenty of headphones and have been on a Quixotic journey in recent months to cover all the big names and find a modern, appropriately feature-rich, ooey-gooey soft and comfy, sparkly, vocal, deep, rich, spectacular-sounding pair of headsets that just say, wow, damn, thats it. It conducts electricity on all three leads. The X10 is handles it very good compare to the D8. Im not much of a brand guy especially those brands that have grown large/powerful and then just stamp their names on ancillary products and then charge a premium (for an otherwise generic product).
