I actually prefer the on-ear style, because I like to hear the ambient sounds of my house, if my kids need me or my wife says something, I dont want total sound canceling. Half are ruined already. Einziges Manko: Das Preis-, Leistungsverhältnis. They fit perfectly, are lightweight and super comfy! On both desks that I received, one of the buttons on one arm was inset much lower than it should have been. I did not expect much but I was impressed with the premium feel of the earbuds. I received the charging case very quickly. The only iffy thing is that they seem easy to damage if you just toss them around or dont store them in a case, box, or drawer. They are made of plastic and they do come with screws and drywall plugs. I dont have wide feet and these things were like shackles on my feet.
