Youngings will never know, THIS brand has always been worn it just took celebrities to bring it back. It stirs and flows better and has a very low odor. They are are as bad as the free wired ones they give out at gyms when you forget yours. It is only a slight gap that does not pose any issues, though the case can be further refined. AirPods pro charge perfectly, the previous version of AirPods with a charging case does too. Very sturdy and love the rustic look to it. I am waiting on my 3rd pair from Amazon as both pair I have ordered have come damaged. I?ll pass them on to a friend - she may have better luck. Fit was amazing ! They did get a few noticeable scuff marks and smudges, but thats probably unavoidable for any lighter-colored shoe.
