My ranking for the 3 Monster earbuds I tried would put these first, the Isports 2nd and the Claritys 3rd. The uppers are made of something like wet suit material and bound with bungee cord. "You get what you pay for" - does not apply here. Yes this is painful, first few times I got a decent amount of broken skin and was sore to the touch, much like waxing Id imagine-- Ive never had any waxing done! Size is significantly smaller than ZS6 or AS10 and fit for my ears is way better. I work from home and trying to lose weight, so needed something to add some activity. Look great super bright but so much EM interference I cant hear my radio of CB when they are turned on. Track forward/backward with a double or triple-tap (respectively) of the same dial (which is also a button) is awesome. But there is one infuriating issue. I was hoping these would fit like the Classic Clog Crocs I already have but, they still feel too small.
