This purchase was definitely a splurge as the price is too steep in my opinion. My friends said at times that my voice was sort of muffled, so I had to tweak the settings a bit to make my voice more clear. Then let it sit for a day BEFORE you hang your frame. Very stiff Product came and was so pretty, very comfortable. I bought these foam tips in the hopes they would help to secure my Pods in my ear better. I rarely use the armhole snap though bc my hands stay in my jacket pockets clutching Hot Hand hand warmers (by the way, you need to buy these too). The holes were not perfect, but as long as the bolts are not all tight during installation, you can eventually set each bolt before tightening down all bolts. Build quality:Earlier was sceptical a bit about on-ear headphone that the outer ear will pain after long use. Im just not sure if the description is a bit lacking or whether I really wasnt paying attention when I read it.
