A heck of a lot cheaper than the German brand they resemble. I always seem to have trouble with in ear buds, so I was hopefully these would work. My first review: I wear a 8. Very well engineered! The problem is there is a little lag when waking up. Only thing is its a lil bulky. Very comfy and I like the metallic look. Its also pretty tough and there are many other uses for your leftover pieces. Sections for clothes arent even long enough to hang a normal shirt unless you take out the divider between top and bottom. I will be buying one in another color also they have several different colors.
