It is very comfortable whether it is placed in a bag or directly held. If you own the Fitness Reality 810XLT squat rack, just know that these fit PERFECTLY on the rack. I was happy to receive just what Id hoped I was buying. I would pay twice the price they are charging. I have a slight love affair with these earbuds. I bought this hoping that it would work out, but not getting my hopes up because of how many clothes I have to return on Amazon. I tend to kneel, cross my ankles and set my foot atop my desk chair at an angle. PARFAIT I would give it a five star review if it was not for its ridiculously meager assembly instructions. The case is very small, easily fits in front pockets, and finally equipped with USB-C type.
