Im not a musician, so perhaps a music expert would feel differently than me. The new ones seem to be made from a different material than my old pair. 5 or 8, and the 7. - 360 degree pivot allows me to position the phone so I can see the screen or get it out of the way. I?ll keep wearing them. Turn it down, still horrible sound quality. I had a bit of trouble with the sound cutting out the first two times I used them, however that problem hasn?t occurred again with repeated use. Passen perfekt Logitech is just pushing low end Chinese stuff now with their branding. Without the socks my feet slide around on the inside and my knees buckle.
