The buttons are easily accessible, and the control isnt heavy so it doesnt interfere with wear. But until then, 4/5. anything! Pretty basic pegs, looks sturdy, went up easily, no strange odors. These are my go-to head phones. But oh my gosh. Got these to mount a rack on my hard tonneau cover on my truck. It snapped right off. I already returned & ordered 1/2 size down, they are better but still loose. I tried to deny they were mine as I thought she found them somewhere else.
