Besser als die Originalen. One also charged me for shipping back to them so be careful. It has a fun sound signature - nice bass (not muddy), mids are a little drowned out, and highs are crisp. This thing is awesome! I wear an 8 to 8. I am a raging alcoholic. This IS NOT elderly friendly, in my opinion. Its odd to feel arch support on a heel but it hits my foot just right and I feel like I could walk for hours. Sound quality that feels more vibrant than the normal AKG buds included with my smartphone. Features - Both do the basics for a 2019 premium ANC headphone.
