" ...  Fit/Sound Isolation: ... With ambient noise turned off, these provide a great sound isolation experience, even without active noise cancellation. ... I almost never heard any white noise due to the wind blowing across the mics, and when it did happen it was so low that I barely noticed. ... By far the biggest difference between the originals and these is the quality of the ambient noise feature.  ...  "

" ...  skip and previous track functions are inconsistent. ... most of the time when i double tap it replays song from the beginning or pauses it, when the double tap edge for volume control is enable (works great) the same can be said of the next or previous track function double or triple tapping often controls the volume instead of controlling the track function.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Play button: Can't avoid clicking the play button when putting them on. ... Only way to stop is to disable the play button, which kind of defeats the purpose of having those supposedly convenient controls, which means when you get a call you have to get out your phone to answer.  ...  "
