But, OEM is definitely better. The best part of this power cage is the height at 6ft for shorter ceilings. he also fails to use quotation marks many times often. The cushioning helps my foot problems, the elastic at the top is not tight but stays in place, they dont fall down in the back, cotton content is good for breathability. I also really like the amount of height they give me -- they add about an inch and a quarter, which is what I need to be 55. Better then any beats i have used. Making the hook ever so slightly longer at the base or skinnier overall (metal, perhaps) would solve the issue. It does what its supposed to do. Perfect for anywhere on the boat and parties on the dock. Yay, Im hooked!
