My jury is still out on this. I love the fact that everyone can hear me just fine, but I think the spring swivel is mounted backwards. It pulls the ear bud out of my ear because the ear loop mounting spring pushes against my scalp with too much force. If the ear bud was longer, like a flanged shooter's earplug, it might hold, but it creates too much space between the bud and the ear canal, and whatever noise cancelling it provides the listener on the far end, the design creates on my end due to the bad fit. Admittedly I have a large ear canal (big head) but even the biggest bud is pulled out by the spring. If anyone knows of custom ear buds for this situation, please post it here, thanks!
