Still a massage but not as massagie. I have accidentally pulled on the cord while running and they have STAYED PUT like the glorious little amphibious soldiers that they are. Wow, I am so glad I did. Soft ear cups, head band and very light Easy pairing, volume control and song skipping. With the stack of the heal and the softness of the material I think I?m going to be happy and probably order more. Its solid, just what I expected for the price. The stretch did not retain memory and just continued to stretch and stretch until it would break. These slippers were too big and they are so fuzzy that my foot slipped around in them. While these headphones have a significantly different sound signature than the others I have tried, they were of similar quality. Worked so well with my kayak that I bought another for my bike.
