There are a few downsides to these headphones. The volume and quality are Great but if I put my phone in my pocket or purse or lay it down where it's not right next To me it starts to have static. Also I keep having to push the ear buds into my ears to readjust which causes mean to press the button and often hang up my calls. Once you get used to it they are pretty Excellent headphones. I was skeptical at 1st about buying them because they were so small that they work pretty well
