These shoes are very comfortable and I have not taken them off! Comfortable, even when using for hours,, accurate, great color display. Recommend for Jaybirds X I switched from the previous Bistro line to these pals and very much appreciate the deeper, more "grabby" nonslip soles (that are somehow easier to spray clean??), the adjustable velcro straps (I always wear them flipped up now - big change for me, completely changes my experience. If you like a back on your shoe I dont think the back strap would be very comfortable to wear, it looks bulky with the 3 layers of velcro and isnt padded at all. The midrange on CF2W are a little more forward than on previous V-MODA’s and the treble is ever present. That means sound leakage is now also a problem, which was never a problem with the OEM pads. 5mm (⅛”) headphones into it for active live monitoring is really cool. Really? Small printed pictures with no explanation on the outside of the box are not instructions. Im ordering a few more for gifts.
