They do disappear for me once I start working out, but when I first put them on, or am not actively distracted by working out I notice them. I got these headphones in the box when I purchased my Samsung Galaxy 10 plus and I love them. Dislikes:- Not a single one! I bought a 9 (usually I?m an 8. But in the end, if that last 5~10% in greater clarity, depth and detail can be experienced over the previous headphone and greatly increases your overall enjoyment of the music, then it becomes worth every extra dollar and penny. I am considering buying another one for work. Since it came with two sets I put some on my own headphones. They sound very nice, but I really haven?t used them that much. Let me tell you, this product is amazing! Sending back and will look for an alternative.
