I bought these headphones for my dad's Father's Day present. He's getting older but still wants to keep in shape, so he goes walking for at least 30 minutes a day, including crossing a couple of large, busy streets. The idea of headphones that played music but also let him hear what was going on around him sounded perfect. And these headphones fit the bill! The setup was quick and easy, they paired immediately with him phone, and the controls are simple to use. He's very much enjoying his music library and the ability wear his hat on his walks, with the headphones snugly tucked in front of his ears.
