It completely eliminates any noise from the television in the next room. ) Hanging things on the 2 separate smaller rods is good, too. Just a fact based on the manner in which the charging process is designed by Apple. And oh my gosh. Sonido impecable, no se distorisiona ni con el volumen mas alto y el extra bass activado. Perfect summer look ?? the only other things i dont like are the torx screws that come with them, they seem cheap but i got 8 so its ok and screwing the cleats on from the inside, what a pain in the ass. But it cannot be used while charging and only uses micro-USB. I am a size 6/7 in pants and I have a small (A cup) bust. I thought I had seen a reference to Audio Technica being about to render these ("butterfly wing") type headsets as either obsolescent or obsolete, and consequently I started researching to check out the current availability of this model (ATH AD500X).
