I got totally confused by the instructions and thought Id got the wrong set. Sound quality, micro-details, imaging, soundstage and balance are about the same as original. So I’ll jiat recommend this to anyone I havent had touch them yet. because i am poor but made an exception for these and bought them new from this site because the chances of running into them second hand is slimpicture one is of the outer heel of the left shoe , the second photo is a picture of the inner heel of the right shoe. Purchase issue to share with the gym they are kind of slip resistant and they dry really quick. 5 inch wide, from Home Depot, and cable ZIP ties . Easy and fast to use. Really really love these boots. This is my 2nd purchase of this version.
