Perfect substitution for my lost case. She likes that they are easy to get on and off, and that the soles are "grippy" (or "sticky" to use her words) for climbing trees, etc. These boxes are a little more expensive than others you can find, but it seems worth it so far - the viewing window is bigger than others and they feel pretty sturdy. I am disappointed cos it’s a good make, sturdy, but not working and it’s expensive to replace. So I don’t understand in what other way down the road it may break. Once paired, the SE8s connect flawlessly. When these first arrived, I wont lie. The only complaints I have are that, sometimes, only one ear bud will connect and put out sound, but, turning off bluetooth and reconnecting them will fix that. I will put the clothes that need to be ironed on top and then when done, Im able to put them on the bottom rack. These feel like socks, keep my feet warm are quiet on the wood floor and if I have to step outside for a moment the sole protects my feet.
