What I received was an obviously flawed item with a dented corner and ever-so-slightly splintered wood. More annoyingly when Im holding the button to turn them off it seems to be registering something different and will start to redial the last person I called or received a call from, and sometimes I dont realize it until its too late. For some reason the white and black ones were $50 - at that price point they become less attractive. No way it is going to hold up, even for a short time. These are not Gillette Fusion ProGlide, emphasis on the ProGlide, blades. These fit my needs perfectly. I almost had to force it to come off. The new croc looks several sizes smaller snd nowhere near as cushiony not sure whats going on ?? Definitely a little scary at first since you don?t want it to become stuck in your ear, but there?s a small piece for pulling it out. I used to have to turn the volume on my headphones way up to hear when I was in a car, bus or train but now, I just flip a switch and after a slight pause, the outside sounds vanish!
