I love these foam tips! However, the bold, contrasting colors and earpiece LEDs provide enough visual interest to compensate for this. They come charged and ready to use and immediately connected to my phone with a quick flip of my Bluetooth switch. As mentioned in other reviews, I bought a size smaller than I normally do, and they are perfect. It was easy to install and held many outdoor tools I have more to figure out , like if Im taking the case with me ( after I charged it) , how well can it charge when not hooked up with power. Great for narrow feet. I immediately warmed up. A big plus is that this device is waterproof & can be worn while swimming . I bought one for my husband and set it all up for him.
