I like the fact that the noise concealing is low and that means longer battery life plus no humming in my head. I have to wear slip on shoes No more trouble trying to tie the lases . I?m usually a size 8 but I had to buy a 9 in these. Music is pleasant and offers the entire range of frequencies. :D I was able to get it to charge, it held well in its charger, I was able to up load songs to it w/o a problem. They also seem pretty sturdy. Así que diría que están muy a la par. The right thickness without being too thick or thin. They were better in person than pic. So I got this.
