My verdict is that might be good for very small hands. higher, just for looks. Would recommend but order at least one size bigger than you normally would. Gorgeous double-thick wool felt, soft heathered blue color, and so cozy that I really wanted them to fit. Volume control worked flawlessly, it has an in-line mute and clip which the oem doesnt. Save yourself the trouble and buy the authentic plug from Beats themselves. I wore them for a day and could feel them breaking in and stretching out, so for me, a whole size up would not be an option. I wore my first pair almost every day for about a year, and they are still in good shape. I suppose theyll serve their purpose and you cant argue with the price, but they are not going to last beyond this summer if they even last that long. but they are constantly falling out of my ears.
