For some reason, the inside sole of the slipper has a change in the type of material right at the toe line and this is very uncomfortable in bare feet! It almost never cuts out, even at high congestion zones. I place it about an inch from the mic and with it I can get up close on the mic for an "intimate" sound without popping on plosives. When they break or you lose them, who cares? Theyre practically disposable at this price. I own both Samsung cellphones and watch and apple cellphone and watch and definitely recommend spend more and buy apple products than limited Samsung products that should be way more cheaper Update # 2 The damage I mentioned in my earlier update has gotten worse, but appears to be mostly cosmetic - the straps still function properly. I have noticed that the toe of these can get stuck on things and cause it to fold back which sometimes almost trips me, but Im also currently pregnant and clumsy. Also the hook & carabiner adds an option to hold the case or hook it to your bag. I like this product because it is one of the few I can use. I like that they have a magnetic connection in the case unlike some others.
