Well when ypou do this these earbuds start pausing, shut off or begin going through the voice patterns of all your options due to the touch sensitivity of the buds. They work perfectly with my bike helmet and sit properly. The rise is high enough to come to my belly button and a tad bit higher if I pull them all the way up. *Update 06. They feel great to wear, i dont know why they dont get more attention. I have several of their products and love them all. 99 to get this dongle. I have tried them all on and I love every pair. To be honest, at this price I thought they were going to be microscopic, even though I ordered them for my 3rd earring hole. I hid mine in the hatch door rubber molding that prevents moisture and water from entering.
