they seem like a good value. In the meantime, Im very happy with this solution and think they would be great in a walk in closet. It works tho so, yeah. Its Xmas, so I do forgive, but am very disappointed in the quality control. They are the only ear buds of this kind that fit well inside my ear. I put two bikes on it and you have to have the bottom wheel touching in order for the rack not to fall. It also has a mesh pocket where you could put some earbuds or something but I do not use the pocket. Even if I could somehow manage to get my phone into this I would never be able to get it back out! I had no issues at all. -The touch controls make it easy to adjust the volume, pause/play music, and go to the next track.
