The buttons are easily accessible, and the control isnt heavy so it doesnt interfere with wear. The straps are pretty good too. I ordered a size XL. I will reorder. Worth the money for the confidence aspect but also if they protect your feet from the dreaded verrucas at bay thats a big bonus. My picture ended up falling and breaking. I wish the description has said it. I also only wore these twice since fixing the button and so far and no issues and they washed good . I am a long standing Prime customer and always had very good service from Amazon. As far as size of it he thinks it?s far better than some of the others he has had and really likes the earmuff feature remaining because the in the ear buds are far worse.
