Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the purchase. Prime Sam Peckinpah with Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw and the usual supporting cast of Peckinpah regulars. All in all Id value these at ~$50-80 sound quality vs other Earbuds/IEMs/Headphones, IF the cable wasnt so poor. Bad move. Will l Purchase them again? Probably. My 22 yr old son is only 160lbs and can use it safely. so it doesn’t look as sleek if it’s open, but it’s not a big flaw. Wonder of wonders, they are actually a bit too large, length-wise, but to have room to fasten them, I can use the extra room. For readers who are not aware, there is a fundamental difference between a dynamic microphone such as the SM58 and a condenser microphone. HyperX has had issues with being too muddy/quiet since cloud 1.
