One of the reviewers claimed to listen to it side by side with the JBL and wrote he and his friends picked it over the JBL for loudness and bass. Merci au savoir faire allemand pour leur chaussure! There were a few spots I added my own mounting tape. One minute its working, then after a while headset stops working for an hour. So I have alot of items hanging. I did have to widen my stance a little but it wasnt bothersome. The RGB color is nice and clear, better than the G512. I expect that one day Ill grab the throttle during a panic landing and have it snap off. When Im walking, a suction between the bottom of my foot & the sole of the sandal creates a fart sound. Looks like they were made in Netherlands.
