I can live with the tiny bit of static that I get. The setup is really simple . But she wears them year round. It says it?s connected to Bluetooth but doesn?t act like it. I got these earlier than expected and I wore them straight away. The instructions allowed for more then enough leeway to cover the original trim work. ______This is a great sounding set. After buying an Apple Watch I didn?t have a whole lot of cash to spend on accessories ?? so I really thought this was a good deal for the price. Great for $49 from Unclaimed Baggage. Pleased with them.
