They are okay. Somewhat bulkier than other pods and slip out easily for me personally no matter which earbud size I pick from the 3 options it comes with. I'm extremely impressed with the sound quality and bass however. Voices in podcasts sound incredible to me. The mono feature sometimes means you have to put one back in the case and take it out again to get the stereo mode working, and for me, there is no left or right channels. They are both 50/50.
