The dock is barely functional. I occasionally have to go to construction sites and if there was any down side is they arent waterproof, but I bought these specifically to have good airflow and not come home with trench foot. Not sure what thats about, but dont expect any cotton in the material. The listing shows made in China but the actual boot is made in Vietnam. They are pretty adjustable and the pleather headband and earcups are comfortable and passively block noise, although they can get a tad stuffy. So am keeping the phone ??. When you first put them on they feel great, but the elastic is too tight. This product is great for the summer,being outdoors and still feeling protected . Im not mad that i bought them, but i wouldnt buy them again. To get the true sound go to your local Best Buy or technical store and test out the speaker and compare it with other speakers.
