These are really easy to connect to my phone. My kids have stepped on these a few times when they pulled them out of my purse and they didn’t break. The phone call quality and mic work great! I can hear without any issues and if my kids are in the background, I switch my call to one of these so I can hear the conversation,” said one reviewer.
