I will wear it inside my house. I never realized that was even available! The microphone is round and soldered to the board. Order at your own risk. It lasts a good amount of time. It is way comfortable, not heavy at all, super nice quality of the build and the best sound you could ask for! So if you just need some earphones for podcasts and you arent sitting there reviewing these with tone fork on YouTube then youll be more than pleased have spent fiver for these. They were extremely nice at first, great bass, comfortable fit and all, but two problems. A thin insole in the front helps with that. So these are not my cutest shoes but they are so damn comfy!
