This is my first professional microphone, and I am really loving it. - Minor creaking at the ear-pod pivots. You can?t go wrong! However, I have found that it does a pretty good job of keeping the drink secure, even over the rough roads I ride on. This headset does this without issue. I love my trainers, got so many compliments Not sure if this is a recurring problem or I just got a bad box? Even the RGB lighting is the same. No complaints The black band was nice but not my style, so I purchased an authentic samsung s3 band in orange/red that easily hooked up to my galaxy watch.
