I had a higher end pair that was stolen and I didnt feel like spending $300 again to watch them walk away. Thought that was worth a mention. Bought as a gift for my honey who loves all things marvel. Great color, even nicer than the picture. Its warm and looks great. My daughter thought this was as it advertised. The best part about thist band is that I didnt get that awful chemical smell when I opened the package. These headphones as well as a previous pair of a different brand that I bought at a similar price do not comply with any of those characteristics. It fit as expected and it would be great for workout but as far as it shaping my waist, it didn?t do anything except suck my belly in a little bit. Mine is slowly falling apart after 3 or so months but I do & I undo them many times a day.
