Want to share some thoughts, some of which has been aired earlier.

1. Since they were launched back then, I went thru 3 pairs, two died, one where mic piece fell apart but still usable, and so I stopped buying. When they worked, they worked nicely....both in terms of sound quality and wearing comfort. My gripe was durability, I treat them properly but they didn't last?

2. Recently saw their FB postings and posted a reply comment. Surprise, they offered to send me new 2nd gen model and it arrived several weeks ago. I use it at home and plan to take out on next biz trip.

So jury still out on their new generation. But thumbs up to their marketing acumen! ^
