I wanted to love it so much. We have a small house with only one small bathroom. I purchased these through Bayou Birkenstock who is an authorized Birkenstock retailer via the Birkenstock website (they were also backed by Amazon). Comfortable and long which is what I wanted. again this is okay for me because I am usually on the bike, or close to the transmitter, typically within 8?Definitely buy this. So far really great headphones, they feel really solid and very well-built. Paired easily with both my Macbook and my iPhone and switched seamlessly between the two. Im a true medium and ordered a medium. Eating crunchy foods, teeth brushing, and high intensity impact activities will invariably cause reverberations back into ones own ears. I have been breaking into them by wearing them to work (office work) so I am really surprised that this is happening now.
