(I know it sounds like I am gushing over this product - this is not a paid or compensated review whatsoever) I bought this item used at 99 percent positive. Depende del oído y gusto de cada uno. Well, not only did Marlon send me a replacement model, like the original one I had, but with a light grey, very soft and plush, velvety (non-staining) material, he also sent me two other models, one that he tagged as Chicago, thats the light blue, Leather(ette?) material. Once connected I browsed through my music playing several of my favorites using these earbuds. , and the charging port is on the other end. Musik ist mir wichtig. I called to confirm it was correct, and he said that was the only replacement they showed. Sound is not louder but sound quality is awesome or where we scratched with the bracket.
