I love how I can lay my phone flat instead of an upright position. I purchased these in a size 8 womens and they fit me great. Also easy to skip or pause songs. I could not find any details on just the weight of the microphone alone. Great addition to my small home gym. Charging the iPod case I have to play with the position a little rather than just place on like the phone. I really wanted to love these but two things are the reasons why I?m returning: the suction sound that happens when walking, and the big toe strap?s inability to stretch when walking. I was willing to look past that but the 2nd issue is worse, (the padding) I have a condition that causes pain on the sole of my feet. My toes/heel dont spill over. I really, really wanted to like them and when I first put them on they felt very soft and comfy.
