One of my best buys, I can match with what I have on, great sound, very comfortable, cant ask for better 4 / BW 1. The USB ports were also a great addition, letting my wife and I keep our phones and Kindles charged for the duration of the trip. The case adds minimal bulk but good overall protection. It is quite good. I had to put it in my trunk because the horrible smell is unbearable. I think it will be ugly then, but it is under the bed and should be more functional that way. Unless padded and shipped better, they will always arrived damage. Or they have needed to be wired into a headphone jack, or the Bluetooth would be finicky. I feel the shoe could slip off if I start running or doing any cardio that doesnt allow me to stay in one place.
