Not very sturdy but looks nice and had a lot of space so def a good buy I like that not only are they soft and comfortable but they fold to take up less room when traveling. Comfort: These are quite simply the most comfortable in ear buds I have ever tried with the possible exception of the original Bose IE. Took less than 5 mins to install. The option of snipping off fabric to create the specific length is a nice option- especially since you are ordering online. Buy one, you will not regret it. it’s not. This type of feather pom isnt going to be the most sturdy material to start with, so keep that in mind. Once I put these on, my feet are cocooned in warmth and comfort, and I dont even want to change out of my pyjamas for the day because Im so comfortable and happy. This has got to be the best electric shaver Ive ever bought and at my age I have tried lots of them.
