I must have pulled a wire accidentally. The ear hook ads extra stability and I will never own another headset without. Bought these so we could hang more towels in the bathroom, and they are sturdy! They are easy to put on and I love the elastic in the back which helps them stay on. The inner sock liner holds my feet snug like a supporter would. The sole is falling off. This type was too narrow and too tight across the bands on the front. Not enough to rule out the jabras, but a noticable amount-design. these are great athletic capris but you may end up frustrated with getting the size right. I took it on one river float and it stopped turning on.
