I am very happy with the quality of this cord. not too warm, just right for wearing while lounging around during this year of Covid. I ordered the metallic by mistake which is a beautiful, not too shiny color. The wife is very pleased she wished she had them a long time ago. I love the color. Visually is nice but its confused between Taoism and arcade. I lover the belt that you can make it tighter. Came across these, saw the reviews, and decided to give them a try. These were so soft and comfortable. Other earbuds have these kinds of lights in the charging case, and I can only imagine it was because they understood how terrible the flashing lights would be in the dark.
