The sponge (foam) ear fit is a small size, for me, who uses a medium silicon rubber size, they fall off even easily while seated and chewing. I fidgit with them in restaurants and planes. They have now hardened and cracked, unlike competitor models that remain soft, and they expand minimally to seal the ear.The rubber silicon had a good fit, but the sound was a bit muffled. The carrying case is tinny, you need some neatness in fitting them inside, lastly the wires have become stiff and have an unbecoming way of hanging, like spring rings around my neck.By now, I hope, the maker has come to the same realisation as I, and made some changes so that any buyer will get a better product than I own.
