I receive these headphone after the cheap-o one I grab for $ 7 finally break . I think from all the positive review and detailed description these would be a great buy for the price . wrong . Day two after get they in the mail the left earbud die for no reason . the only way I can get it to work be to wiggle the base . these touch no water . they be not even drop . what a disappointment ... other than this issue , the ear bud be not even well design . despite the nice case they give you and different size headphone , these do not transmit sound in a efficient manner . the squishy bud piece get in the way , and do not form a clear tunnel for sound to travel without you have to twist it around in you ear for several minute . in conclusion , these be altogether much more aggravation than they be worth . do not buy these , you be better off with the crappy Apple one believe it or not .
