These are the best in this class of classic ear buds available today and they sound very good despite deceptively low price. When my mouse first came i was happy and because i wanted a new mouse I buy this and at first for its very good then fast foward a month and my wire is torn just buy me moving my mouse and the wire is so close to the mouse whenever you pick it up the wire gets stuck underneath it DONT BUY THIS ITS A WASTE GO FIND SOMETHING BECAUSE ITS THE PACKAGING ISNT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE WIRE you can see the picture that i posted it tore in a month and now it disconnect and also the SOFTWARE is very hard to get Im creating a video recording for an online event that I will be presenting at, and this mic is far superior to the boom mic on my headset. It burned when I charging my phone. Very good feature! Another important note is the truly outstanding Tropical Green shell color. Funtion over form here and theyve nailed function.
