I prefer my white tips. Nike . I haven?t tested dropping it for obvious reasons, but if the event ever occurred I do feel certain that my AirPods and the case would be extremely safe. Overall, a very good product, packaged nicely and well worth the money, IMHO. In those areas, the HD 800S actually exceeded all my expectations and sounds even better than I thought it would. I loved how it turned out. Used this to attach our bike rack to my truck hitch. I was gifted this item and to be honest straight out the box and after charging I was not impressed with the bass levels, mids and highs just fine. You can play them as a pair of same sound or Stereo speakers. ) I generally wear a size 12 M boot, and the EU 46 (equivalent to US size 12) fits my foot very well.
