Very annoying if your hands are full and cant snap it back - you shoe will flop off of your foot. I bought these thinking I would regret blowing so much on a headset. These were actually very comfortable. I use a cheap Chinese phone with a Cyrus Soundkey DAC/headphone amp connected to my IEMs. Not that comfortable, even though reviews rave about them. Qualitativ gut und liegt auch so gut in der Hand. Filling the pods is reasonably straight forward. Love color Not sure if I will need to do this every time I plug and unplug them. They fit perfect, and super comfortable.
