Upon arrival, I was not impressed at all, the build quality was very very cheap, felt no better than those typical £20 wired Sony on ears you?d find at any store. However, I didn?t have any issues using them in my install (no stripping using a Phillips head or socket). Sometimes the ear-tips will get left behind in your ear. It makes it SO MUCH EASIER to open. The blue sole and adorable heart logo are just icing on the cake. Not sure I would buy another pair in this style but still wouldn?t send them back. I was able to cook, and do dishes while using the headset no problem. The 6. I like this style of shoes so much I ordered several more pair in early summer and just recently ordered several more! I havent set it up for maximum optimization of the battery but It lasts all day on a single charge.
