I liked the oontz budz 2 when they first came out. Welds appear professional. This is a good product for when you need to have a on line meeting every know and then. And if I ever find Im out of toilet paper, I can always have a pair of extra rolls on the pull up bar. They are incredibly comfy, but they SHED - and I dont mean a little. Update: They broke in less than 2 weeks. The kayak holders were packed in a sturdy box and the two holders were enclosed in a thick plastic bag. I feel like Im at a live concert--without all the screaming of fans around me. I have always liked Sennheiser equipment and this product was no exception. I kept this pair because I didnt have time to return and find something else.
