The black pair I’ve owned for 5 years (from Ross) and they’ve lasted through it all! I panicked when i saw the pairing code but i just entered "0000" and it worked. So far I love the sound of these. It was wrapped around a step ladder most of the time. 3 out of 4 pairs that we bought are now trash. I dont use that feature though. We bought 2 racks and we are very happy with them: the quality od the assembly and details is amazing for the price! Happy Lifting all! Seems to be solid.
