Are these SECONDS? "Sold by: Fusion Apparel". Been using my squat rack for several weeks and has been great! After dealing with deteriorating ear pads for MONTHS I was just about ready to pass these headphones to Apple to fix them, and then I found this listing. However there are some quite noticeable markings due to bad painting and maybe due to bad treatment from the factory before putting it in it?s clear box. I was a bit skeptical because I thought the stones weren?t going to be clear and bright but they are. Compared to other IEMs I own I can see myself preferring these in most use cases. On the contrary, the "fuzzy" material on the A40s never did this, also the headband, despite not being made of this goggle material, is more comfortable. Very nice headphone stand with a strong suction cup base that holds the stand in a solid vertical position. super easy to install! I only bought these because I expected/wanted real leather.
