We have had it for a few months and it not only looks great and modern but it holds the weight of 8ish wine glasses! This entire experience was kind of annoying and I do not want anybody else to have to deal with this! I sized up from my 6. But its pretty sturdy. Glad I read the reviews before I used on my ski ! WATER & DUST RESISTANT - not a key feature for me, but even if the 1000XM3 earbuds NC are very much superior, I might keep these for travelling. Although they are very difficult, they are no more difficult to put on than the original ones. Nix für schmale Füße. I also like the vents on them that help my feet breath. 75" and so I ordered the 7.
