I bought these before last ski season (in mid-February), and used them 4 days last year, and after 4 days this year (8 days total), the right ear button is not exactly working.

Also, Ear buds are secure and make for great sound, but I can't hear the incessant yammering of my ski partner, which would be OK

To turn on music I press the right ear piece once, to pause you press it once again, double click the ear piece gets a new song, three times brings you back to the previous song, when you hold and release you can then talk to Siri or Google voice using the embedded microphone (as well as answer the phone).The

Hurts your ears if the earpieces are not padded enough

Only thing is, instructions say the controls are in left ear but they are in right ear.

He does a lot of woodworking and often wears over the ear protection, as well as eye protection, when running his saws or lathe

Ear piece button broken after a week of use

His complaint with these and others he has used is that they are not loud enough, in particular In his downhill ear that is catching the wind.

First, I set up the volume on my phone AND using the volume control dial on the wire (volume is not set using the control button on the right ear piece)

There are two ways to control this: either through the right ear button, or the controls on the cord.

I'm used to in-ear earbuds (cheap ones, not the pricey stuff) that make me wince at the highest volume

Function control via the big button on the right ear piece is exceptionally easy, with gloves (Functions; answering, skipping, muting, Siri).

Specifically, the button control was assembled using the wrong ear, so that it could not function

Then when trying to start it again with the right ear button, it also did not work.

Had to press so hard it hurt my ear

Your media device can be controlled by the in-line control I mentioned earlier and a second controller is built into the right-ear Chip®

The target audience is clearly anyone wearing a helmet that has the little pouches alongside of your ears: however if you have ear muffs, or any variation of something that will keep your ears warm, this unit will work with a basic iPod or smart phone

Worked great, ear touch controls very effective, and fit my ski helmet perfect.

It was important that the right ear fit snugly and that the plug to the cable was not bent

No more discomfort from ear buds tucked under my helmet ear flaps

It is a universal fit and fit my helmet to a T. Very comfortable and easy assembly

However, the in-line button works as it should

Didn't work out as I had hoped

They work as they are advertised
