I didnt want this silver look to the cross bars. Not as sturdy as I hoped, but does the job. Took some time. First because it drank a glass of wine, then a jack and coke, and finally a whole bottle of wine (keyboards in my family have a drinking problem, dont ask). Comes with a key chain holder perfect for clipping in your bag for easier access. This thing uses some kind of Black Magic to get such clear punchy bass sound out of a lightweight package. They are just gorgeous! I got the medium brown with gold stitching. I can only hope the quality will be as good as these. I use them everyday,I love them.
