made in china! Their new and improved cable tips are literally the most durable cables I have ever seen. The top screw is a little difficult to screw in because there isnt much clearance, but I made it work. I’ll be honest, I’ve loved my Bose QC 35’s but let’s face it – the days of paying $300+ for wireless headphones are over with quality technology like this out there. I used this product for my fake airpods, which by themselves look and feel legit, but the case is off-i was hoping it would fit and cover the case and it worked perfectly. I work from home and sometimes need to isolate myself from the noise. The price , the comfort , and sound quality of these earbuds is really good. I walk on the treadmill for over 30 minutes and they feel great. I love my music with a good bass coming off any speaker and this pods is the real deal for it! We ended up just stretching the old ones out and got almost another year from them.
