Ok, you win Chubby Buttons
I really wanted to come back here and complain about how these are not worth $50, they are just dbag hipsters that are gouging us because they thought of something first, i hate myself for giving them money, etc... I mean all that sounds reasonable after looking at the listing, right? Alas, I cannot do any of this. I f'ing love this thing... and only hate myself slightly as a result. It's surprisingly well made. Do I feel like I'm wearing a piece of a Power Glove with soft, squishy, irritatingly perfect buttons? Yes, yes I do. Does this maybe make me look like a jackass when I wear it while working and have to wear gloves? Most likely, but I don't care. Whether you are working, skiing, snowboarding, or whatever, taking your gloves off repeatedly to use your phone or touch controls on your bluetooth headphones sucks. It gets old incredibly fast and gloves that let you use touchscreens/touch controls are usually too thin to actually keep you warm. So this goofy thing serves a purpose and serves it well. Bottom line is, it vastly exceeded my expectations. It works like it should, maybe better. The buttons are easy and nice to push, yet somehow manage to not activate if you accidentally slam it into something. It's well made and can definitely take a substantial hit, several of them in my case thus far. It is still more expensive than I feel a lot of people could justify, but I'm sold, you got me. Honestly, when I'm using it with a phone that cost me nearly $900 and anywhere from $150 to $300 worth of headphones, wtf is $50 for something that makes using them so much easier? Nothing, it's nothing. If you are constantly wasting time trying to change songs, volume, etc while wearing gloves, or even not, just buy it. One thing I will say however, is make sure when you pair it for the first time that you aren't connected to any other bluetooth device. I had my Sony WF-1000XM3s connected when I paired the Chubby Buttons, they paired fine but immediately dropped the connection and wouldn't reconnect. Had to disconnect the Sonys, unpaired and paired the Chubby Buttons again, and I haven't had an issue since.
