The product is pretty sturdy overall. Would definately recommend them. Conference call after conference call after conference call. But these were too cute, and too comfortably, to return. all I can say is this sucks out loud I thought once this monocular was made for my phone. Former Salvadoran university professor and scientist who ended up on the losing side of a civil war and fled his homeland with a price on his head. I just LOVED it! Talking in my car, people didnt report any noise at all. I like that it connects via a dedicated usb stick rather than bluetooth, although for some people that might be a minus.
