I imagine that if I walked in them for any amount of time, they would rub blisters on the top of my feet. Either the noise cancellation on my particular device did not function properly or this devices noise cancellation is extremely poor. I got them for my daughter for her bday. Anyone that claims these are just as good as the originals are lying. I like the weight of them as well not heavy and clunky feeling. I also like that it does not take up a lot of room on my counter and yet still holds many spices that I use every day. Bought a black pair 3 years ago along with navy blue & bought a black pair again from Amazon. Better than any others that I tried. It?s really perfect for me to concentrate my works not to be interrupted from others since I started to use this headset. Sturdy and holds my flip 5 in place on bike rides .
