I honestly purchased these at first based on the price. The adjustable microphone carries fairly well, and the sound cancellation/base works fine with my Dolby Atmos surround. They come in the official blue Adidas box with the 3 white stripes, complete with Adidas-branded packaging paper in the box, and the official "Originals" UPC tag on the box and attached to the shoes. oh my god, these flip flops are amazing! And Why in the world anyone needs to trim on slooooow speed? ?? Skin pinching was minimum (no bleeds, but occasional minor pinches were there). Also replaced the ear pads. I also have a wide foot so thats never been an issue. Will update after these have been worn for some miles, but so far I am THRILLED with these, hoping my long search is over. The noise cancelling is great, but I don?t think it would work on anything other than a jet. Nice size, but it was missing some holes for the shelves.
