Ive bought a few pairs of Rainbow sandals in the past because theyre comfortable and they last for years even if they take some abuse. The cord is on the next level, it bends very easily and stays the same afterwards. Seagate do not disclose which of their drives utilize SMR and have removed this information from their datasheets, so I hope this informs your purchases. Its microphone pickup has quite an effective range and i have successfully used it in board room (long table) meetings of up to 12 people. Im a 38 year old mom of 2 and these have surpassed my expectations. Im a drummer, so isolation and good sound is important. Love them they are so so comfy. People say they can hear me fine. Great that you can use the app to alter the EQ etc too. Ive used the good ol Shure SM58 when I had both fluting and singing duties; the Shure Beta 57A for just flute; and the AKG C1000S for just vocals.
