My original one messed up. The earbuds are very uncomfortable, even after trying all of the size options. Lebensgefährlich Schrott Wish I had ordered WAY up in size. At this price point there should be no excuses and no failures. Both arent that great though but the Note will give you, may be, a couple more extra hours, which is appreciated really! I like that their is metal on them i wish they were maid of only metal but great bass and noise cancelation. Drove 15 hrs with this bad boy attached and it worked great. The 4 tie down straps were easy to install under the door weatherstripping but we had some leakage during the trip. pretty much all of the background noise is gone.
