- Frequent cutting out, especially when crossing busy streets. I would even go so far as saying they could pass for dress shoes - seriously they are that attractive. That?s the only reason why I would never purchase another pair! What I received had the male end exactly as pictured, but the female end has three vertical rectangular slots (see photo). I may give an extra star if the item actually works. Being that I?m on the go and on calls all day & my phone goes dead a lot. I think itll be worth it. Another thing to note is that these headphones are higher in impedance than normal, so I have to near max out my volume on my phone to get somewhere acceptable to me. First things first you have to upload all your music into it. I love the arch support.
