Let me provide some perspective: I have a set of Yak bars that I got from a vehicle in a junkyard. They are working on incorporating sound control but as of right now the only way to adjust the volume from these headphones is to give up some of the more exciting advertised features (program long touch for volume or, hear through and Spotify). Sadly, I went to use some hooks today and EVERY SINGLE STRIP was dry! Other than that, the ram is great and works as advertised. Very insightful and almost absolutely a future-must read when we all have cancer from these electronics and everyone wonders: Hey, who knew?Its all in here. I plan to purchase a 2nd one in the very near future and have already recommended it to several friends of mine. Even more interesting, if you are out of range but some one in the "community is in range it will get their phone to contact you. You won’t regret it one bit. they also arent recessed, like most bass heavy headphones mids tend to be. They sound just as good, if not better than my husbands airpods.
