I bought this to replace a Parrot model that I had been using in my car that no longer held its charge (after about a year or so of use) and was too quiet on motorways to hear. There are much better decorative case designs made of better materials. This is the first time I have ever felt the need to write a review for anything I have ordered from Amazon. The previous owner used mostly nails and in the past I have used some of the metal strips with bendable tabs. I have tried many of them. I had my buds hooked to my jeans and as I was walking. - The voice prompts are too loud, and theres no way to control the volume on them. I haven?t dropped it yet but I?m hoping it provides protection for when it?s dropped lol. The medium tips worked alright, but when I switched to the large it was a world of difference, both made me feel much more secure of my earbuds ability to stay seated. My husband owned an old pair that he purchased from a sporting store.
