bought these JVC wireless headphones because I love the JVC "flat" wired headphones. The old rubber ones just didnt hold up after several years. I found the plastic to be very rigid (which it has to be in order to stand up to the wind & weather on top of a car)? but when it?s cold or wet out, you can?t just flop it open & lay everything in there & zip it up all pretty like Ive seen the videos. I hope the quality of the cords has gotten better. To top it off the rack was damaged in two places (chip out of the painted wood finish). You can?t put these into drywall (I have a new home built with 1/2? drywall) the seller recommends you contact them so they can give you adhesive. I was so pleased to find them on the Amazon website! Once Id worn them a bit - I was on holiday so didnt have a choice - they did provide good stability on wet ground and I appreciated the nylon covering on the inside which made them much more comfortable. They dont disappoint! You can only see the LED status light when in low light conditions.
