Youll be glad you did. Again I am not an expert but I had no interference from the tv in the background or the conversation that occurring while I was testing the earbuds. If you are an audiophile, these are great starters. Quite a few reviews complaining that they only last about 6hours. I needed 2 and it was nice that theyre sold as a pair. Keeps my non-roof rack car looking good. Thirdly, each mic has its own independent receiver unit. They are just what I wanted in terms of fit. My first pair were well worn, and so I was delighted when I saw amazon had some available. Gave it 5 stars as the BEST DOG RUG ever!
