These were too hard. And they look great doing it. I think because it is higher then the ones that come factory built with the car that is why it makes the noises. Even with the 2019 edition your ears will touch the inside of the headset. I Wore em to my daughters graduation and got a lot of compliments on them . The charge is pretty long ~12-15 hours. I got some pliers and generally straightened the bend panels, but it was a nightmare to assemble this despite that effort. One improvement is the ear clip material. I am carrying my salt and pepper in these cute containers in my everyday lunch box now. The design of the charger makes the headset ready for use at a moments notice without having to disconnect cables.
