Season to walk outdoors. Would have preferred it to be braided. 5 for them to be long enough. As it stands now, I would highly recommend this headset. At this point I started to look through Apple Support forums and there were many folks having the same problem, but not clear on what about the AirPods was causing the reaction. I got these and my head is right to the edge- I mean it?s almost falling off! The feet have perfectly recessed screw holes; this prevents the screws from being overnighted and increases longevity. Additionally, the rear rim of the shoe is too tight against the back of my ankle, it feels as if it would certainly result in an abrasion if worn for several hours. Unfortunatly, one of my keys fell off, not just the top part but down to the soldered peice. All fasteners are screwed in with an allen wrench, which is provided.
