I had expected to get the one exactly as ordered (no mike) but it came with the mike on the cord. I recommend this produce because:1. I have been using these for nearly 6 months after using the band type for about 3 yearsProsMy most favourite Pro is the battery life! Comfortable, easy to clean and I can slip on with socks when needed. It worked right out of the box, and no difference in sound quality or even cable quality. My son has sensory sensitivities and its hard to find sandals that are comfortable, fits his foot (skinny, long feets). And Ive been working out since I was about 15 and Im 62 now. 5 on the advice of other reviewers and theyre bang-on), the elastic around the ankle and across the foot are perfect and doesnt dig in. Its a perfectly fine book, but it has the misfortune of coming out too close to a remarkably similar work and not shining quite as bright. The stone looks nice.
