It wouldn?t be a problem if it was the back but it?s the first thing you see when trapping a glass The ALWUP Wireless Earbuds are easily the best bluetooth earbuds I have owned to date and I have owned high end as well as lower end earbuds. If you dont buy this, good luck spending $600 on a Thule/Rhino Rack/Yakima. The hooks are sturdy and show no signs of strain from all the weight I?ve put on them. Just cheap, decent sounding, dont care if I lose them kind of ear buds. Overall, this is a really good product for day-to-day use. The earbuds are waterproof and sweatproof, so these work well for when I am exercising or swimming in my pool. This wireless charger is very easy to use and I notice it work perfectly with my iPhone XR . The look is classic and, dare I say, better than the more expensive Madewell and Everlane loafer. As other purchasers mentioned, the straps on this are too tight and your foot stays too far back.
