However this is my third other GenY purchase and like the second it is a failure. So the shoe runs a little large. I love this microphone! The first pair I got last year and loved them so much that I ordered again, BUT! Unerwartet super weiches Tragegefühl. I have been using my earphones with the new pads 3-4 times a week, 2 hr gym sessions at a time, for about a month and they are still good as new! Lightweight fabric with a little stretch. The case charging is pretty fast, conviniet and charging begins immediately, no complaints there. Arrived in great condition, with excellent care instructions. I received them yesterday and they?ve been on pretty much since they arrived.
