Arrived before the 14th of September as promised. Speedo also included an interesting little hanger to use when letting them dry. I have no doubt that these will be just as reliable. Soooo not easy to install with just one person due to the LACK of instructions that come with these bars. Theyre not clumsy at all. These things get beat up, it needs to be better than that. Cons: no volume control on the buds themselves, something my various MPow buds have. ? These are very comfortable. This will rip, snag, and tear easily. The earphones are slightly curved, not your usual round or flat type, so they fit into the ear nicely.
