I don?t know how they?ll hold up to being washed yet but they are well-made and I would order them again. Very fast set up. The cotton wants to separate from the stem. It?s probably way too late to exchange! When I opened the first bag, a small amount of the product had leaked into the bag. I know headphones, and have a decent collection of a dozen or so. Okay so I am an avid ear bud guy and I own or have owned pretty much every relevant ear bud released in the last few years. Love color One fits slightly looser than the other (ironically it seems to be the opposite of the one of my feet that has always been slightly bigger than the other) but Im satisfied and will enjoy wearing them this summer. I wouldntrecommend for music but fine for non-aesthetically oriented listening.
