Though the Grado adapter was a little cheaper (possibly better quality??), it did look chunkier, something I was trying to avoid due to how my ports are shaped. I wish the font was not so close to the edge, but its not a deal breaker. So I finally decided to invest in some good shower shoes and I found these. These fit great and are pretty comfortable. I really likes this trimmer. Replaced a pair I had for 12 years. I wanted to try the Plantronics instead of a name I wasnt familiar with. Can be worn with jeans or a dress! My guess as a gift to make up for the first batch of cases that had adhesive issues, but unfortunately I only use official USB-C cables now, from known and trusted manufacturers, just due to the security concern they present. The headphones would also be able to connect to a PS4 or a TV with the transmitter.
