Even when I fail to fully support the end of a sentence or phrase, this mic picks up enough to allow me to salvage the recording. My kids kept taking my controller chsrger to charge their tablets and breaking the chargers. I went hiking in California and walked through the tide pools on the coast and they did me well. Plus I am having such a hard time finding white shoes that I like. The battery life is over 30 hours, the folding design is fantastic for storing the device when not in use. The fuzzy top is providing some warmth, but also, by being open, lets the feet breathe. Very light and comfortable but well made with excellent sound. These are a great pair of earbuds for the money. there are a couple of flaws for me with this mouse. They look like expensive cycling shoes.
