Most of the time im muted unless im talking anyways, but that is still really annoying. Good looking light hiker. The mount is also made mainly of plastic--not sure what that does for long-term durability--may want to take it off if not doing night/dark rides, to minimize UV damage in the sun, etc. They offered a free replacement. Lo recibi antes de tiempo. The only thing I really didn?t like was the plastic bag it came in. That is what I used. I love the different ways you can wear it too - over both shoulders, off both shoulders, or under one arm. Was expecting minor cosmetic issue as described, however there was a decent size mark above the volume down button and the volume down button does not function properly. I knew these would be tighter and ran a little small.
