I chose not to put the handle on because of space restrictions. I recommend sizing down 1 size. I bought this for my son he really liked it. These are definitely better than the previous pair (RHA M390U) which Ive owned. Overall great noise cancelling abilities since when I used my circular saw and my mitre saw, the only thing I could really hear is a soft buzz. ????????????. I was initially concerned that the U-lock was large enough to fit around my frame, rear wheel and a solid object such as a parking meter, bike rack or other such item; however, it appears that if the solid object isnt too big it should fit nice and snug with is good for security. Overall 4/5 because it?s unfair to rate them based on higher priced models, so therefore I?m rating them for the budget/price range that they are. Why?1. I borrowed a pair of the Ooriginal (flip flop/thong style) for a day and was immediately impressed!
