I have always been a Beo fan and decided to give these a try. I especially like the zipper access in the front to get to my clothes. Had to sit on hold and was frustrated until I looked out and saw the box. Full of cheap stuff. I gave them only three stars, however, because I did return them. Theyll wear out at the same rate as the OTBT because youre not wearing the same pair day in and day out. If the listing shows the same blue foam, think twice before buying. just to make slipping them on an off easier and in case i am wearing socks with them they fit better. do not lift the needle up. It’s cheaper looking in person than than the pictures but still cute.
