Look cool too. Bought one set for home and one set for away. They volume is great and they do not slide off your ears. But I am saying that for a little thing you can hold in your hand and turn it up and throw it in your pool, its great. Theyre very similar to The Bella Bella shoes. My daughter loves how sparkly these are! This clear box is top notch! Is it real leather? I am not even sure because I dont remember looking for that info in the description when I purchased these, but, it certainly looks and feels like high quality leather. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????1???????????SONY???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? :-( They are hard plastic, not soft rubber like they used to be.
