Have had these for a while now but first the right and now the left plastic housing on the earbud has separated. When it breaks, the rubber piece stays in your ear but the seam comes apart and the half that goes to the cord disconnects. Was able to get...

I bought this product to cancel noise on airplanes. I liked the compact size and the clip to attach the electronic unit to clothing. The whole unit goes in your shirt pocket. It works pretty well for noise reduction but the ON/OFF switch is...
