my middle connections ended up higher than the rest. i can wear them any where It is actually a much softer plastic, matte, and after only a couple of days with minimal use it is already showing very visible signs of wear. Tend to slip a bit when walking due to front coming so high up the foot. It’s perfect for game playing without distracting others. Way overpriced. There are a few things that set this one apart. It gets tangled very easily which is to be expected. Gels worked great, better then the ones my Jabra came with. Well, for $16.
