Hopefully these will wear a little longer. Fall off sometimes. But when I?m listening to audiobooks I don?t hear a difference. Modern RAM sticks are designed to run at a much lower frequency out of the box to ensure maximum compatibility across different boards. Not (I think) obviously reptile looking material and extremely soft and appealing to the touch. Sleek looking design. We take all kinds of precautions to protect our earbuds. My product arrived missing parts, and the provided cam locks were the flimsiest Id ever seen. After losing one of my AirPods I decided to get one of these and it was a good thing. Seems to work great!
