this is stupid. Einziges Manko des A. They all break at the spot where they join the band to make a loop. These earbuds were great in the beginning. I guess that they are supposed to feel good, but they dont. Not only did it come in two days but it had two extra parts that weren?t on the pics that I really needed! Good sound quality, relatively okay mic, this is my perfect budget buds. I took a chance on these, as they were not listed as fitting a 2017 Subaru Forester. Now I am having to jiggle the plug to get the full sound. Will have to return.
