These bars have a better clamping device and fit much better than the competition. 2) Premium quality build3) Superb sound4) 100% stable connection5) Simple but full control of tracks, volume, calls and voice assistants. Theres also major connection issues. and counting 🤣 My daughter can come in and sit on the bench to take off and put on her shoes without struggling to balance or sit on the steps. I had gone through so many pairs of the canvas version I thought I would try the leather just to get a more finished look and possibly more durability especially in the front of the toe box where I have had my middle toes sort of wear out the area in the canvas ones. Its like the opposite of fishing. I gave it two stars instead of 1 because they actually sound pretty decent when they work. Also, I hadnt found shoes by this brand comfortable in the past so i didnt have high hopes for these but i decided to give them a try. Color faded a little but I think that was because of the salt water.
