VERY helpful. So theres that. So happy with these, Ill be ordering them for the rest of my Loubs! Im hoping theyll stretch out with use. I put it together last night and before I could even put some weights on today, turns out one of the plastic pegs is broken already. I work out 4 days a week. Will probably return just over comfort. I have had a great pair of these same model for 12 years. I?m literally in love with the Bass because it?s just amazing! Sound quality is good receiving but people on other end says sound quality is terrible transmitting
