Its a nice ice pick! The relationships among the crew are what makes this show great. Overall for the price they cost I believe they are a great buy for the money. If you are looking for a popsocket, they now have one double stretch over this case which is awesome! The paddles feel good in the hand (I have large hands so I like the thick handle) and appeared to be made well. I?m not sure how long they?ll last, but for $10, I?d be ok with buying a new one as long as it lasts 3-4 months. They were too short though I wear a size 10 everything else but the size 9 to 10 wasnt long enough and my heel overhung on the back. If you want to increase volume keep in mind that the buds have their own volume control. They are a keep! High carb meals.
