Havent used the other adjustable silicone ear tips but its a nice feature to have with any earbuds since its necessary to get a good fit. The patent leather provides a slight dressy look which is exactly why we bought them! now i have to wait another 5-10 days to receive a new one. Love the color and style The large size wouldnt actually have mattered too much given what I want to use them for, but with the combination of them being exceptionally hard to get on and off (despite the big thumb handle at the back), they fail on all accounts. I take the game maybe too seriously at times and perform reasonably (Ranked Silver Y3S3 then GoldY4S4) on PC. This book was a real surprise! I have a turntable from the 70s that I absolutely love. Also, the couple of times Ive used it near people, its been a conversation starter. I took a pair of conical shaped ear tips from my other set of waterproof earphones and that made it great to swim with.
