As of now, yes I would recommend these to friends and yes I would buy them again. E invece. The ear pieces are magnetic which is a nifty feature, but not a requirement for me. Its nice to have volume, play/pause and skip/reverse track function buttons on the actual speaker. & price was great too! Very usefull. Otherwise, these are great headphones. It is only made for those with a smaller shoe size, tried to fit two men?s shoes across from each other but they wouldn?t fit. Pics I submitted show my closet and how they dont fit as well. When I first got them they felt like they stuck to my foot but after a few days of wearing them they didnt stick anymore.
