These are actually better than the original ones in my opinion. Giving 2 stars. The software is fine and lets you tinker with the equaliser settings and set your custom defaults easily. A completely fun read that can also be a little informative for those interested in foraging. However, the top band that goes over the foot is extremely too loose as if they were made for persons with a thicker/chunkier foot. This cable alone will change your headset instead of fixing and restoring it to its glory. This is my second time purchasing these exact shoes. The foot bed is comfortable, so it?s a shame that the body of the shoe is not. Would have returned this product if not for the hassle due to its size. The included case is hard and super protective but doesnt take advantage of the headphones folding to save space.
