The only thing I would say is that they do fit small, if I were to order again I would go up a size. I gave it 4 stars easy to clean because I dont know what thats like yet, there is a little bit of slack in the cloth over the pad, but I think thats so it can sit flush on the gel/foam when it is depressed down - not puling any stitching. Turns out the top is only PAINTED black and its clear plastic underneath. Theyre also made of aluminum, so theyre way heavier than Im used to. no creases or bad smell . The only issue Ive had with them not staying in my ears has been while eating - but other earbuds Ive tried have this same issue, so I wont hold that against this particular item. My Dodge Durango is my passion, and with this controller I can even connect wirelessly to my iPhone, allowing me to seamlessly play a copyrighted bootleg Nintendo ROM file via an illegal GameBoy Advance emulator. I bought a pair for my 11 yrs old she loves them I havent been able to fully test noise cancelling ability as of yet, but from my small test it does seem to hold up well. See before and after pics.
