2 Questions: 1) Is it easy to accidentally push thee remote's buttons maybe while they were underneath a jacket or in a backpack? 2) How well do they isolate sound? I plan on going snowboarding with these so I'd rather have them not isolate to well and...

1. I've not had a problem with pushing more than one button. 2. They can isolate noise very well when they are fully inserted into your ear. To allow more exterior noise don't insert them in so tightly. If you are considering the Rugged series, be aware that the sound quality is great but that the plastic coating on them transfers "contact" nose into the earbuds. I actually recommend the S4i over the rugged because no contact nose transfers. I use the Everytime I cut my lawn and ride my bicycle.

Well they're pretty much the same volume level. The remote sounds better though, replicating the sfx on the show. The remote's emitter needs to be extended to achieve that same volume level too. When it's retracted it sounds even quieter. But i wouldn't get it if you're planning on going mobile with it. Its a good chunk of change to risk breaking on the move or cosplaying , etc.

I recommed mounting the alarms high enough to be out of reach. Also, you can put scotch tape over the button to prevent it from "accidentally" being turned off. Another tip - if they seem too loud, put a couple pieces of scotch tape over the square/speaker part and it will muffle the sound a bit. These were lifesavers when my daughter learned how to open a door. I am good about locking the door, but not everyone else it good about it. And eventually she learned how to turn the lock, so these really came in handy!

The volume control remote has a button on top that cycles through Bluetooth, wired input (the line-in and optical inputs use the same jack so only one can be connected), and power. I never turn mine off though. There's no hiss or hum, the LED isn't obnoxious, and I'm willing to pretend that the power draw is minimal. The speakers will automatically reconnect to my phone when I come home and it's very nice to simply hit play to resume whatever I had been listening to in the car.

I did a reply but not sure it went like that. I contacted my son and here is what he said: That button allows you to mute the sounds. It does not speak and you must read the questions. It just plays background sounds like bells or chimes. Again...it's a blast. You and your friends will totally fall in love with it and wonder how it's so darn smart.

My husband uses his because he can not hear the deep tones on the TV. This definitely helps. The sound is not stereo, but acceptable. It sure beats having to blast the TV so he can hear. I used to wear ear plugs and could still hear the TV. There is rarely any lag in receiving the sound, which is a huge plus. The biggest downfall of this is there is no remote to adjust the sound. It is located next to my husbands recliner, so I have to get up to adjust the sound if he is not sitting there. At that point, I usually just turn it off and listen through the TV speakers.

I'm very new to these devices, but I sure like the price for this one. Here's my problem: I'm disabled and the click buttons would be a huge problem for me if they are too stiff and hard for me to click. Also wondering about using it for both music and audiobooks, sounds like audiobooks are problematic, and expensive earbuds might be necessary. Help, anyone? Thanks.

Only if you want to. I watch TV with the volume on the TV turned all the way down. At any point, with the TV remote, you can raise or lower the TV's volume. The headphones have their own volume controls. That's one of the things that makes them so awesome! :))

I find that I don't use them. It's a good TV, but it's a TV first. I've never used these motion, or gesturs, or spoken comands to my TV. You'll have your cable or sattelite receiver and that's the remote you'll use to change channels, turn your TV on/off, and affect volume. I'd buy last year's model and save your money and forego the fancy features you won't use.

It will definitely be too tough to push the remote buttons with ski gloves on. The face of the remote is slightly larger than a typical watch face with all the controls. Made for non-gloves hands for sure. Sorry to disappoint.

They work off of radio frequencies...you can be around the corner or outside and have the other remote inside and they will go off without a hitch! I love them, they haven't failed me yet.

No buttons to push. They are voice activated. We use them in residential tree care, wired them into our hadhats. We use them near and amongst heavey equipment with no issues. Pushing the button allows you to answer a phone call, or choose between the aux. port. I see no issues being used with a child.

I had no problem with sounds.. The number/letter buttons are on the other hand quite tiny and if the light is low, have hard time to find the right ones.

I have played with several of these and draw the conclusion that the remote either works all the time or not at all and is bad. But first make sure the battery is good and in correctly. You can go to klipsch website and buy a new remote for about 10 bucks.

I just bought this remote, and I can confirm that it has a Mute button. The remote in the photo has two white buttons between the "VOL" and "CH" buttons, labeled (top to bottom) "MENU" and "RECALL". However the one I received has two white buttons between VOL and CH labeled "RECALL" and "MUTING". I'm thinking the one in the photo was defective since there's a black MENU right above the white MENU button. On my remote, MUTING is indeed activating the Mute function on the Kenwood receiver I programmed it to control.

I have noticed the remote is very sensitive and must be aimed directly at the center portion of the sound bar. You must have a clear "line of sight" from remote to the bar. If you do, then the remote must be defective.
