I bought these for summer hiking, which I have yet to try out in these, but they seem like they?ll work great (and cuter and less expensive than Chacos, in my opinion) Its likely to last 1 - 1½ years of daily wear. Indubbiamente bellissimo. perfette per lo scopo per cui le ho acquistate: cioè viaggiare in aereo ascoltando musica o guardando un film senza essere disturbata dai rumori . Given a choice between the Solo 3s and the Pros, I would pick the Pros every time -- BUT, when I use the Solo 3s, I still think they sound pretty good. Connected via usb to my pc and then followed instructions, setting voice as default communication and game as default sound device. The mic itself from what Im told is decent enough. After she blurts out a bunch of facts John asks her if she gets picked on at school. AWESOME product. (=
