IMO the whole physical interface on these makes no sense. The microphone seems to be garbage, so why even include it? The touch panel literally never does what I want it to do, I wish they'd just replace it with buttons. The ONE tactile button on the device (aside from power) can only be used to change the noise-canceling mode, which I never do. What I would do frequently is pair to another device, so it would be great if that one button could be used to unpair-and-enter-pairing-mode. Instead, I "repair" by connecting it to one device over bluetooth, and another device with a cable. It's a silly, awkward thing to do with my wireless headphones, but it's 100% reliable. Oh well.
