Overall, with my somewhat eclectic recording collection, I would say the Beyers sound better with about 70% of my music. Overall its hard to beat for the price. Good quality, does the job! I thought this pair was gonna be similar in comfort and quality but boy was I wrong. It was splintery at the ends of some of the pieces, but all of the wood you?d come into contact with after assembled is smooth and splinter-free. When they arrived they were really cute! Maybe I was just too fat These are super cute and a refreshing change from the standard style Uggs worn by the masses! However, if it was 2 inches (or even 2 1/8 as stated) it would he greatly for our need for our rack for thr camper. I am on conference calls nearly daily and these earbuds have performed great.
