I loved the little train on the back, and the fringe around the top is very feminine. The UO pair is $75 and these are $50. Right out of the box I was very impressed with the build of these, they come in a pretty nice carrying case (which is just too uncommon for headphones) so youll have no problems storing these and keeping them safe, but honestly, I wouldnt be afraid to just shove these into my bag caseless, thats how much I trust the build quality of these. But I did not find that being an issue. They hold the workpiece down perfectly. The battery "life" on these is terrible. It is a great addition to my home, freeing up some precious counter space. 5 going to exchange them. This towel ring far exceeded my expectations. Nice quality, easy assembly and installation.
