I am such a Skechers fan so when I took these on holiday last yeat I was pretty convinced that they would feel like slippers. 40 BT and noticed its stock earpads were not at all comfortable due to having less than required-size inner cut-out for ears to snug in. To turn on ANC just push and hold on the upper back of the right side for a few seconds till you hear ?ANC on?. These are perfect for my foot. So sorry I had to return. I still plan on wearing to work and enjoying these all summer with some matching polish. These also sound way better without the "thudding" when your walk or run with incredible bass and sound quality. Final assessment:Audio-Technica- best balance of value for moneySennheiser- Best sound and comfortBose- Best Noise Cancelation Ive been an IEM fan for years and have used the Shure SeE series as well as a few more expensive ones with the MMCX connection. Just what you want.
