Several of the drawbacks are tolerable, but regular use will weary the wearer. These headphones are great for sports, and I think they would be especially useful for cycling because of how well they magnify ambient noise. However, at this time, the "gear icon x" should be prioritized above the "sony" model (because of the latter's lack of built-in memory) despite the latter's older and more affordable (19990R) price tag. The benefits: On the plus side, the sound is respectable but not outstanding. The headphones' build quality is also top-notch; in your hand, they'll feel solid and durable. Although it isn't for everyone, the case itself is fairly well-thought-out. There are some drawbacks The drawbacks outweigh the benefits by a wide margin: You can only take calls or listen to music on the left earpiece when using Bluetooth. If you remove one earbud from your ear, the music continues to play. After several hours of use, headphones might cause ear discomfort. You need two hands since the buttons are too small for a single finger. Noise reduction only works on low frequencies and even then, it's not perfect, but compared to the amplification of ambient sounds, it makes a huge difference. When tucked into a pocket, the case's lid can be flipped open. The case is somewhat bulky, therefore it won't fit easily in a pocket. Very sluggish audio transmission; spoils the viewing experience.
