I used to be a skullcandy earbud fan ($10 each roughly), but the last two that I bought only lasted about 2-3 months each. My daughter dropped my phone, face down, on the sidewalk. Once I said, ?hello? she responded and asked for some information. The beads filled the box, not partially like some companies do. They are really easy to use. official brand ones cost 30 dollars. Have not tried phone calls yet. Look for something else. I bought it to be a macrame station for my bedroom and I?m incredibly happy with the end result. I really liked the case, it was nice and it prevented my airpods from getting scratches and on top of that the colors are very pretty however I lost my airpods because the keychain is very easy to open which I believe made my airpods fall off while I was running for my life after a stampede of people came my way because of a supposed shooting, it was very unfortunate but atleast now I know that I shouldnt depend on the keychain and instead just keep them inside my bag.
