Oh, and I preferred the colors that were offered five years ago, though the current colors are OK. As many of you know, when you find something you like, when it wears out and you have to replace it, there is always the feeling of "I hope the product has not changed! Perhaps better sound than one might expect for the low-to-mid price. I bought this because it?s made of recycled materials and to carry around bamboo sporks and straws in. Its also great that they can adjust to the swelling of the feet with the use of Velcro closures. The directions state to sprinkle powder over them and form a hill shape over the stick them light it to burn but there is no powder included ?? save your money! I waited a while to do the review just to see how these would hold up and I can?t hold off any longer. A 4H battery life plus charges from the case is more than enough for what they were designed for. comfortable The design of these ear buds are great, they stay in your ear and come with different ear bud sizes.
