While build quality is better, comfort is slightly worse. The pad will fit onto the plastic clips for the shp9500 using the inversion method, but they block the clips from installing back onto the headphones without cutting away part of the pads I wear between a 7-7. I did have to exchange them for a smaller size (Eu39), which fit beautifully and look great. clicks are all tight, on my copy right-click is stiffer, but all the clicks are a good press with minimal travel. When I first got a hold of this product, went ahead and played different genre of music to really lear how the earbuds would sound. J?ai acheté ses écouteurs le jour de leur mise sur le marché. The big draw is the upper body chin up and stretches and half body pushes - but the stretches and pushups could readily be done elsewhere. My daughter wears a size 3, I should have got her a size 2. Ive also owned the Shure SM7B, but the flatness of that mic doesnt work with my voice at all.
