Update: it?s 6 months later and I took off 2 stars because these sandals are shredded into pieces! Unlike many other earbuds, these dont fully block my ear canal so I can still hear outside noises like cars, dogs, approaching bikes on trails, etc. Cheaper than the big brand names but still works for me. Bloch is my go to brand of ballet shoe. Very stylus too - color goes with everything. Easy for her to put on and off. First, you cant charge these headphones and listen to music at the same time. com sells is authentic. You get what you pay for folks. Worth every penny ??
