I stopped using any secondary straps long ago. Im asked all the time, "thats an Apple watch? I never seen that band before" I then recommend they jump on Amazon to check it out. It fast charges an iPhone XS at 18W vs. )I purchased the black first, and after wearing twice came back and bought brown before my size disappeared. I like how it has a middle button between the forward and back buttons. These look very sophisticated and chic! I was searching for an integrated wearable audio device, something light can stick on hat or ski mask, not bulky as speakers nor headphones with band. Overall, this is an excellent pair of headphones and worth the price tag. With sound playing, like the XM3s, you wont hear much. My big tummy is getting flatter and the hang is smaller.
