My wife loves earphones like this because they can't get lost as easily as the earbuds can. We have lost many earbuds by taking one out and putting it in a pocket and then putting it the clothes washer and dryer, or just placing them somewhere on a counter and forgetting them or they get knocked off.
these phones were just average , they work fine but don't have a quality feel to them like other brands and the biggest drawback is that they don't have the magnet tips to hold the buds
