Love the case This company "stepped-up-to-the- plate", to use a baseball analogy, and made good when they could have denied me. These are much different. This will involve more steps than it seems are really necessary for what it is. Having 6 large non disposable water bottles rattling around in the fridge is a a bother. I underestimated how many beads I would get. He likes the quality of the audio. These are the buds youre looking for. Also, on the subject of these pads and the ?on-ear? fit. Just because a pair of shoes has a high price tag doesnt mean they are more comfortable or better quality.
