I have been using these headphones for a couple of days and can say without a doubt that they are really fantastic. They are definitely more “left and right” in orientation, you will notice if you mix them up, and that took a bit of getting used to, but once they are in the correct ear, they stay in well. Out of the 11 stories, theres about 5 or 6 that are good. Have been using it in conjunction with a double kayak rack. The other thing that I notice is that is wiggles a lot and not as solid as I expected. I bought this watch on a cruise ship. Soles are a little squeaky on indoor floors. I assume it was sturdy and durable since it was metal. Spice rack very sturdy. 9 / 5 .
