So I will only use it if I am in any way worried about one of the buds dropping out. I prefer the Ally Plus for the bass they can deliver and with the mids/highs sounding so good i dont prefer the hair better of the sonys because of their LACK of bass. Note to self:Pay attention to the reviews. I highly recommend these shoes and I have invested in second pair in another color because I love them so much. My only grip is that they were a bit difficult to install well. (And also recommendable while on plane ?? but most of us won?t be flying that often. I debated between this one and the Polk Audio 10" sub before going with Klipsch. This light is great! The 18 inch bar seems adequate My JBL Go speaker is excellent & I have never faced issues in sound quality in BT mode, and the aux cable is also of good quality.
