Ill sadly have wasted $150 and will need to buy a new one. The 2nd pair stared to peel too. 2 was nice and true again. Not sure why Amazon is asking about noise cancellation, as these headphones dont offer this feature. Now my hooks flop up and down every time I hang something on them. Better stay away from this product. Great quality exactly what I expected perfect for quickly running out of the house or park playtime! and she loves hers too! This is truly plug n play and operates with absolutely no lag. I have larger ankles so I was on the last hole for the ankle strap.
