Hopefully it doesnt happen with my new pair but Ill be more careful with this new pair. I bought this valet rack for a rather unusual purpose - not for clothes but to display part of a suit of chain-mail and armor. In fact they do not include any hardware other than screws so that is really your only choice unless you want to provide your own hardware. I made it work because I wear glasses and my glasses help hold the ear hooks in place more snug. I found them to be like no other shoes Ive worn. They also seemed to be the most popular as well. However after reading reviews about those where the adhesion didnt hold up or if it was dropped the buds would pop out and considering I spent $100+ on my buds I figured it would be worth it to spend more on protecting them. These cables do not last, so if you are someone who properly uses charging cables, I dont recommend them. Maybe next time I?ll save and buy something expensive, at least they last 2 years. These pair easily and work as they should.
