I prefer them for activity listening as opposed to the headphones I will wear at my desk (I have other headphones I prefer for that). Ive since gotten a 2. Very easy to assemble and is sturdy that it will not crumble on you. We have stone base around the pool and he feels the stones through the bottom, however it is better than going barefoot. for JBL and AKG I owned before, even with my DIY adjustment for weeks, still hurt, they were possibly 3/10. Popped them on as soon as I received them. I like the bands that tuck under instead of on the outside, so if I continue wearing this, I will definitely switch the strap. Bolts and tool included. The bike wall mount came to me defective. Holding down the mute button for 3 seconds turns mic monitoring off and on but there is now way to adjust the amount/level of mic monitoring.
