Every night before I go to sleep, I sniff the beautiful leather case. I sent 2 pairs back of different styles. Plenty of room for gels, gloves, etc. Rockport aint what it used to be. the high and mid ranges sound great. When I ant for a run, the left ear bud cut out about every ten seconds. 0002 cents they used plastic pins with steel sleeves instead of solid steel pins. Very nice color. These serve me well for the most part. Slightly snug.
