Would definitely recommend these pillows to anyone. These are quick and convenient and seem to do the job. I know the story is about bullies but it seemed a bit excessive. === NOISE AND VOLUMEThese are not active noise canceling. I have contacted the customer service and tried to reset the device and also updated the firmware , but the noise is still there. It?s not bulky at all and the color is true rose gold, not that weird pink color most of these are. I typically wear a size 8, but ordered a 9 in these, based on past experience. Ive worn them for two days now going for long walks, short walks and around the house. Main reason to buy is hope will be robust as normally get through a pair in 6 months; time will tell. This pink one looks like the online photo and I am looking forward to wearing it in warmer weather.
