For those out there who?ve tested these and said the sound is poor, and the sound stage is poor, I think if anyone is buying these buy them from Amazon or B&O direct because they have a 30 day return period. Not for everyday wear. Not to go without mentioning the screws I purchased are not black and I could not locate black screws. The little scissors cut the string well so no struggling with that. Update: I bought and charged this and went on a trip in November where I used the headphones a lot and didnt recharge. We bought these to replace our typical water shoes for excursions and kayaking trips. If I had one suggestion it would be put th cord back in the unit very convenient. This is more of a me problem, however, they still have issues being plugged into a phone with a case. They also do not protrude from the ears by much at all, and no signs of bright LEDs etc which I liked. I tried wireless.
