Ut is definitely weatherproof. Chapters make for quick reads. These are amazing right out of the box. even ordered another pair in grey . I went back to researching and came across the Samson, which also had great reviews. I know Bose is a trusted brand, and we already have a Bose dock in the kitchen that provides great sound, so I ordered these on the strength of that experience. Other parts such as the bottom legs are metal and the silver part are made stronger than the black place. Durable: The headset is made of excellent materials and the cable is long enough with a thick coating at the connector end. If youre looking for top quality wireless ear buds look no further. The touch controls are useless if you have hair.
