I listen to my audio books I can listen and control with ease. My only other concern is that the hole to see the charging light is very small (and maybe off kilter?) so it is difficult to see the state of that light so far. Sound is back to normal, amazing the added depth having new covers has had, I assume that as the old ones fell part I didnt notice the gradual loss of qaulity. Co worker loved the bread concept Comes with decent length lag screws. You just have to do the same step on each rack til you finish. Ive used it several times per week since i got it. They give you good audio quality, great battery life, great software features and look better than most competition. I am battling a brain tumor.
