They must have wanted to get rid of the bad batch since when I opened the box, the "orange band" has about 20 different shades and colors. I am not sure if this is by design, since when I look very closely at the image of this on the site you can see the little discolorations. If this is by design it is really horrible, since it has splashes of pink, purple, and yellow scattered throughout the band. However I didn't give this a one star for it's looks... I am not sure if it is because of the size of my head, but these do not hardly block any sound! I guess there is a gap where the plug inserts in my ear since I can still hear everything. If I go to the shooting range with these things I am sure my ears will ring for days. I won't even bother returning these cheap things, I will throw them away now.
