I got this to hold two 13ft kayaks. I thought buying 65$ Sandals was crazy. I bought them many many years ago on close-out (in fact they came with a really weird virtual surround system). This product works great as a replacement. But I cant recommend this. If you do think these sound good - and so therefore like a ‘lighter-weight’ sound, you should try the fast, clear, detailed, MT8’s - they are leagues better in every respect (they have more bass as well) yet share some analytical flat sonic signatures of the K550’s. Then hear it slide and fall over. … reißt mich nicht vom Hocker! I have had these for almost a month, and they are already almost as worn as my year-old beans. The two pieces didn’t have to be connected but there should have been some way to keep the lid either on the case or on the key ring.
