Sure you can find better headphones but most likely you will be paying 3 times the price. And the white sidewall should be grey instead too, all to help hide the shoes dirt and what not as they age. I felt a deep connection to that way of life. They dont fit properly and pop right out with the slightest move. Smaller than the previous 9. It is well worth the Money. Went for a size larger than usual 13 vs actual 11. The price is very good and so far they seem to be very usable compared to blowing $600+ on thule or yakima. This clicks off a percentage on my phone ever 2 minutes, which is pretty fast. The case is like a firm rubber.
